Abstract
A height adjustable game machine having a structure that can be easily adapted to a stand-up-type and a sit-down-type depending on situations. Each of a game controller, a game operation panel and a monitor is set as a unit. A base unit accommodating the controller the game operation unit and the monitor unit are held between opposed columns in this order from the bottom. As a result, the height of the machine can be altered merely by changing the length of the columns and it is possible to structure the game machine as a stand-up-type for a standing player or a sit-down-type for a seated player.
