  • a chair;

    a base including a cross-pin and one or more guide pins, the one or more guide pins extending in a horizontal direction parallel with a length of the base;

    a gaming machine that is couplable to the chair via the base; and

    a connection assembly for association with the gaming machine, the connection assembly including one or more float-mounted guide pin receivers configured to adaptively receive the one or more guide pins in a horizontal and a vertical direction, and a rotary locking mechanism including a removable actuator that is insertable into a rotatable tubular member for controlling a rotational position of the tubular member, the tubular member configured to receive the cross-pin of the base to latch the base to the gaming machine;

    wherein the tubular member is rotatable from a first rotational position to a second rotational position to lock the cross-pin within the tubular member upon inserting the actuator into the tubular member and pushing a spring-loaded pin positioned adjacent to an end of the actuator into a pin-receiving cutout.
