A coin cup holder and method of holding coin cups is disclosed. In one
embodiment, the coin cup holder comprises an elongate body with a first
portion having a first end and an opposing second end and which defines a
passage there through and a second portion in the form of a narrow,
elongate flange which extends outwardly of the first portion. Extendable
rails have one end located in the passage and extend outwardly of each end
of the body. Cup accepting posts extend outwardly from the rails in a
direction generally opposite the flange. Screws passing through slots in
the body and into openings in the rails are used to selectively fix the
position of the rails relative to the body between an extended and
retracted position. In use, the coin cup holder is mounted by positioning
the flange of the coin cup holder between two opposing surfaces, such as
opposing sides of two adjacent gaming machines. The rails may be extended
or retracted relative to the body, as necessary, so that the posts are
appropriately positioned outwardly of the gaming machine(s) a distance
sufficient to locate one or more coin cups on the posts.
