Examples of the invention comprise a gaming machine, such as configured to present one or more wager-based games, a cabinet or housing for a gaming machine, and individual features of such a gaming machine or cabinet thereof, as well as combinations of such features, and methods of assembling, using and servicing a gaming machine and/or cabinet thereof. One feature is an illuminable body, such as which may be used as a frame to a video display, where the body includes front, rear and side surfaces which are illuminated when an illumination element directs light at the rear surface thereof.

A machine and method for provides a multiplicative feature associated with a game or bonus game. The feature includes a plurality of zones in a play grid. The zones have an initial state and an expanded state and are trigger in response to a multiplier symbol appearing in the initial state of a respective zone. Any value or cash on reel symbols within the expanded state of a zone are multiplied by the respective multiplier and added to a total sum.

A wager-based game includes a base game and a persistent feature game. A player may be provided an award based on the outcome of the base game. A counter may be incremented in response to an occurrence of a triggering symbol in the outcome of the base game and associated prize is added to an accumulator. The prize is awarded to the player if the counter is equal to a maximum value.

A gaming machine cabinet for a gaming machine has a shipping configuration and an assembled configuration and includes a base cabinet, a tower assembly, a monitor assembly, a biasing mechanism, and a removable brace device. The tower assembly is coupled to an upper end of the base cabinet and extends upward therefrom. The monitor assembly is moveable between a shipping position and an intermediate position and between the intermediate position and a closed position. A first end of the removable brace device is connected to the upper tower and a second end of the removable brace device is connected to the monitor assembly when the removable brace device is in the shipping state.

A gaming machine cabinet for a gaming machine with a monitor assembly includes a base cabinet and a tower assembly. The tower assembly includes a chassis, a lower tower and an upper tower. A monitor assembly is mounted to the chassis. The upper tower is rotatably coupled to the lower tower and moveable between a shipping configuration and an installed configuration. A removable frame may be temporarily connected to the cabinet to form a ramp. A lift mechanism may be provided to lift the monitor assembly along the ramp during assembly of the gaming machine.

Gaming tables that support wager-based gaming are provided with input receiving devices that are structured to intuitively message to players what kind of wagers are permitted at which betting positions and when and then to automatically detect timely placement of such wagers at corresponding betting positions. This allows for faster unfolding of gaming action in that player confusion is minimized with respect to which wagers are being called for, when and where. An integrated compact sensor system is provided occupying slightly more table area than that needed for supporting wagering tokens of different denominations. The sensor system includes a large array of full color pixels (e.g., RGB capable pixels) for messaging to the players and proximity detection functionality for detecting 3D player hand gestures.

Generating and validating a subscription key based on subscription parameters associated with a jurisdiction file stored in a NVRAM, the subscription key having characters based on a subscription start date, a subscription term, a key generation date, and a cyclical redundancy check value. Parameters are extracted from the subscription key including the subscription start date, the subscription term, the key generation date, and the cyclical redundancy check value and are stored in a memory of the gaming machine. The key is checked by generating a local cyclical redundancy check value based on a MAC address of the gaming machine and one or more of the extracted parameters, and is validated when the local cyclical redundancy check value matches the cyclical redundancy check value extracted from the subscription key. The jurisdiction file may be updated during a RAM clear function during installation of the gaming machine.
