A media writer is located below the button panel and dispenses media to a front of the gaming machine. In one embodiment, machine elements such as a keypad, buttons, ticket printer slot and/or bill validator slot are located in a recessed portion of the play area and, more particularly, in a recessed area of a bumper of an armrest portion of the gaming machine.
