A dual action access door for a gaming machine that is formed from the lower front housing portion. In order to minimize the space required between adjacent gaming machines, while providing full access to the interior of the machine, the front housing portion is carried by a door chassis which enables the front housing portion to move in a drawer-like manner from a fully closed position to an extended position. In order to provide full access to the interior of the gaming machine, the front housing portion is pivotally connected on one end to the door chassis to enable the door to pivot about an axis generally parallel to a vertical datum in at least a partially extended position of the door chassis. One or more latching mechanisms may be provided to latch the front housing portion to latch the front housing portion in a closed position. The dual action mounting of the front housing portion allows full access to the interior of the gaming machine while at the same time enabling gaming machines to be placed closer together, thus optimizing the number of gaming machines that can be placed in a given area of a casino or other gambling facility floor.
