Abstract
A gaming machine island includes a plurality of electronic gaming machines and one or more pedestals upon which the gaming machines are positioned and supported. A support stanchion supports one or more components associated with the gaming machines. The support stanchion has a first anchor end, a second coupling end, and a stanchion body extending therebetween. The first anchor end is coupled to a supporting structure different from the one or more pedestals. A counter-balanced hinging mechanism is coupled to the second coupling end of the support stanchion and at least one monitor frame. The counter-balanced hinging mechanism has first and second arm linkage assemblies that permit the monitor frame to pivot. At least one bias member is coupled to the first and second arm linkage assembly. The at least one bias member applies a variable amount of force to maintain the monitor frame stationary in intermediate positions.
