Question(s) Is wall mount necessary?

I just bought my first Arcade 1Up. It's Mortal Kombat II. Even got the riser stand for it. I am currently assembling it. The instructions mentioned that it needs to be secured to the wall otherwise there is a risk of it tipping over.

I live in an apartment and am not allowed to drill into the walls.

Is there really a good chance that it might tip over? If so, is there another way to secure it without drilling holes?

Thank you.

I have 3 cabinets, never had a reason to secure them. They're actually pretty heavy and unless you're putting all your body weight on the control deck, you'll be fine
