What is a cabaret machine?

Sometimes, whilst fact checking for this blog, I learn something new and the term "cabaret machine" is an example of this. Quite simply, cabaret machines are shorter and sometimes also narrower upright arcade machines, designed to save space. As a kid I never questioned why some machines were smaller and I certainly never heard the term "cabaret machine" before now.

Below is a picture of an SNK Neo Geo MVS-2 upright and an Neo Geo MVS-2 Mini (their name for cabaret). As you can see, there's a quite a difference in size.
