1. An electronic gaming system comprising:
a bank of gaming machines;
a display mounting structure mounted to the bank of gaming machines;
a bank of variable position displays mounted to the display mounting structure and operable to display a portion of a game;
a housing operable to retractably extend one or more extendable display screens;
a button panel operable to initiate a movement of the bank of variable position displays based on one or more button activations; and
a controller comprising a processor and memory, the memory comprising a movement sequence and a game program, which, when executed, causes the processor to at least:
initiate, in response to one or more button activations, the movement sequence causing a rotational movement of the bank of variable position displays from a first position having a first horizontal dimension to a second position having a second horizontal dimension while in a spaced apart relationship from the bank of gaming machines and the housing to permit the movement sequence, and
control, in response to the rotational movement of the bank of variable position displays to the second position, a) the one or more extendable display screens to retractably extend with respect to the housing relatively to the rotational movement of the bank of variable position displays to have an extended horizontal dimension that matches the second horizontal dimension, and b) at least the portion of the game to present on the bank of variable position displays in the second position.
