1. A bill validator mount for use with an electronic gaming machine, comprising:
an interface;
a bill validator being visible through the interface when the bill validator is at a bill insertion position, and being releasably mounted in a support bracket;
a cash box operable to be coupled to the bill validator to receive a bill from the bill validator in the bill insertion position; and
a cage assembly releasably receiving the support bracket with the cash box being mounted to the cage assembly via the support bracket, the bill validator being movable between the bill insertion position relative to the interface, and a servicing position away from the bill insertion position, the cage assembly being operable to tilt the bill validator relative to the interface to the servicing position, thereby allowing access only to the bill validator for servicing while preventing access to the cash box, and to a collections position allowing access to both the cash box and the bill validator.
