A gaming machine comprises a cabinet, a coin outlet for dispensing coins, and
a
coin tray beneath the coin outlet. The coin tray is located a sufficient vertical
distance from the coin outlet so as to accommodate a traditional coin collection
cup between the coin outlet and the coin tray. The coin tray may contain a beverage
cup holder and/or an ash tray, preferably located horizontally away from the coin
outlet. The coin tray is coupled to the cabinet and extends below a level of the
bottom of the cabinet. When the gaming machine sits on a stand in a gaming establishment,
the cabinet sits on top of the stand while the coin tray hangs over a front wall
of the stand.
