I think the idea behind it is that people spend x amount of cash to buy tokens. Whether or not they use them all it doesnt matter to you, you already collected their money. If they bring in 5 bucks of quarters, you wont have gotten all their money unless they get addicted to the Simpsons or something :P

Weren't they also used to change pricing?  I think I remember getting 25/$5 (rather than 20) at some arcades, and at the crappy ones something like 3 tokens / $1 to get more money per credit.

I used to save all my money, and hit the arcade on "Super Tuesday", or whatever they called it.
They sold tokens at 10/$1 that day only, to try to get more business.
I'd buy whatever I could afford then, and spend them throughout the week.
