HOW TO FILE ELECTRONIC PULLTABS
JULY 2013
The Minnesota Department of Revenue now requires that certain games (e.g., Electronic Pulltabs) report
game receipts on a monthly basis. This impacts the Schedule B2 reports and the corresponding
electronic reporting modules. GMA v8.4 introduces the ability to record multiple game events for a single
game. As a result, the screens used to capture game transactions have changed.
This quick reference guide contains instructions on how to use these new screens to capture both
traditional game activities and game activities where multiple sets of receipts are to be reported.
PART A. RECORDING REGULAR GAMES
This section describes how to record traditional games, such as Paper Pulltabs, Tipboards, and
Paddletickets.
STEP 1. Launch Game Transactions screen
Begin by recording game transactions using the Game  Transactions menu option.
STEP 2. Select the game corresponding to the transaction you want to record
Games loaded into the system using the invoice screens or from electronic invoice files will appear in the
inventory screen. You can enter the serial number to quickly launch the transaction screen.
STEP 3. Record game transactions
Using the Record Game Transactions screen capture the information for closed games. Remember to
enter the date the game was put into play before capturing the game activity, or you will receive an error
message and be required to re-enter some of the information on the screen.
STEP 4. Select OK to save the transaction and return to the inventory screen
When you have completed entering the appropriate game transaction, confirm your entry and select the
Apply or Ok buttons on the above screen. The system will check for any errors in your information before
the game record is committed to the database.
PART B. RECORDING MULTIPLE RECEIPTS FOR A GAME
For Electronic Pulltabs and any other games required by the Minnesota Department of Revenue to report
receipts on a monthly basis.
STEP 1. Launch Game Transactions screen
