First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A gaming machine, comprising: a gaming machine main body configured to run a game; a topper display device accommodating a display plate module for displaying a game related information, in such a manner that the display plate module is detachable from a side; and a topper support mechanism rotatably supports the topper display device so that the topper display device is capable of rotating in a horizontal direction on the gaming machine main body. 2 . The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the topper support mechanism is rotatable so that only one end portion of the topper display device from which the display plate module is to be detached is positioned front side of the gaming machine main body. 3 . The gaming machine according to claim 2 , wherein the topper support mechanism has a stopper mechanism configured to stop the rotation of the topper display device. 4 . The gaming machine according to claim 3 , wherein the topper support mechanism sets as a rotation stopped angle: a first angle at which the topper display device is in a front-facing posture which is taken in a normal state, and a second angle at which the topper display device is in a tilted posture which is taken at a time of replacing the display plate module. 5 . The gaming machine according to claim 4 , wherein rotation of the topper support mechanism is prohibited by screw-fastening the topper support mechanism to the gaming machine main body. 6 . The gaming machine according to claim 5 , wherein a width of the topper display device relative to the left/right direction is narrower than a width of the gaming machine main body relative to the left/right direction.
