A gaming device and more specifically a front door of a gaming device that has
a moveable and/or removable bolster that swings out of the way, so that an operator
may open the door without the bolster hitting the bolster of an adjacent gaming
device. The front door is pivotally connected to the gaming device using one or
more hinges and facilitates access to the interior of the gaming machine. The moveable
and/or removable bolster pivotally attaches to the door. In one preferred embodiment,
when unlocked, the bolster automatically swings open to a preliminary angle, whereby
the operator lifts the bolster to the predefined operating angle. In one alternative
embodiment, when unlocked, the bolster automatically swings open to the predefined
operating angle.
