Neither had to be a primary source of income. If you have any doubts call your own tax professional or the IRS. It's silly to argue the point here when a call to the IRS will get you the right answer.

Sometimes there's such a fuss over so little.
Alan, mickeycrimm is correct. The Internal revenue laws involving setting up a business involving gambling revenue are different than normal rules and requirements, as the IRS specifically didn't want part-time incomes to qualify as "professional gambler". If you don't believe me, check with any knowledgeable tax consultant.
