Caveats
- The wiki states a maximum of $5,000 per in-game day with every floor slot filled, into a safe capped at $100,000, which is twenty in-game days of accrual per cycle.
- The arcade's real value is unlocking the Diamond Casino Heist, which is a heist payout and out of scope for this model. Treat the safe figure as a floor, not as the case for buying one.
- Arcade machines cost money to install and are not counted here. Add them as a renovation in the calculator.
