A gaming machine for conducting a wagering game includes a game display and a top box display. The game display is for displaying the wagering game. The top box display includes a standard substructure for attaching subassemblies. The substructure contains fixed connection points allowing subassemblies to be developed in a fashion consistent with the substructure thus simplifying the ability to swap components and reducing the dependence on unique internal part designs.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 9, 2004 and granted March 20, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 9, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 9, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
