The arcade generated income primarily through the operation
of approximately 40 to 45 electronic games maintained for
customers, as well as from the sale of soft drinks, candy, and
miscellaneous items. Customers purchased tokens to operate the
games from two token machines on the premises. The token
machines accepted $5 and $1 bills, as well as quarters, and
dispensed a corresponding number of tokens. The token machines
contained meters designed to record each insertion of a bill or
coin.
Meter Readings
Twice each day, Mr. Karcho recorded the readings from the
meters in the token machines on a document labeled "Token
Machines-Meter Readings" (Meter Readings Sheet). Each Meter
Readings Sheet listed the total number of times the meters
recorded the insertion of a $5 bill, $1 bill, or quarter during a
day. The sheet in addition converted these currency totals into
a total cash figure. Some of the Meter Readings Sheets also
contained entries at the bottom for individual electronic games
and for items identified only with initials. Dollar figures were
recorded for these entries, which were added to the total cash
figure recorded for the day. Mr. Karcho made such recordings on
the Meter Readings Sheets generally every day for each of the
years at issue.
