1. An electronic gaming system comprising:
a gaming cabinet;
a first display mounted to the gaming cabinet, operable to display a game, and having a first edge having a first dimension and a second edge having a second dimension;
a second display being extendable and meeting the first edge of the first display; and
a controller comprising a processor and memory storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed, cause the processor to at least:
initiate a retraction of the second display away from the first edge resulting in a retracted second display thereby permitting a rotation of the first display with respect to the gaming cabinet from a first orientation associated with the first edge toward a second orientation associated with the second edge,
in response to the first display reaching the second orientation, initiate an extension of the retracted second display in a first direction parallel to the second edge, and
stop the extension of the retracted second display resulting in an extended second display, when the extended second display has an extended horizontal dimension that matches the second dimension.
