The Beast Betting Machine is a new design concept in Gaming Industry and ia a design contest winner.
It all started as a redesign of an existing betting machine with all the functionalities intact.
The basic concept of design was to make a wrapped base frame as a main support, which also covers most of the exposed parts and defines the main shape. As the supporting frame is strong enough, the thickness of other covering surfaces can be reduced to the minimum.
The gaming panel is made of translucent tinted plastic or glass with a hole for the frameless 19" touchscreen monitor. The LED lightbox is placed behind the translucent material so when the machine is off duty only a smooth dark surface is visible.
Extendable footrest has two functions. The main function is to give a better stability to machine when moving and the other function is an option of offering a nice footrest for the gamer.
Four casters are placed on the inner side of the frame so the basic outer shape is even smoother.
There are three service doors. The front service door has a slide opening function. In some cases when this can not be applied, the classic hinge opening is also possible.
On the back side, the main service door is to access to the main modules. The other door is the Monitor service door for easier access to the LED and 19" monitors. The card reader, scanner, coin and cash acceptor are placed in specific angle so they can be even more accessible.
The Beast Betting Machine is a new and different approach in designing gaming machines and is now manufactured by Kiosk Terminals company.
