Hi Jim,
Glad to hear you had a good time at the Palms, we couldn't have missed each other by more than a day or two. Craig wasn't in when I was there, would have liked to have seen the new strikes since I can't make it to the tournament. Based on the absolute lack of comments to my post a little ways down (over 200 views though), I'm assuming I was the only person who didn't know that the Palms had .999 silver Strikes in the machines. What would you say your % were of silver vs clad. I got exactly 2 clad for each silver (20:10). The machine by the Poker Room gave me more silver than the other two. Also, that machine by the taxi stand entrance...how did you do with it. Do you know if there are other strike machines that used to be that format where you have to hit bars+strike to win? Glad you had fun, can't wait to hear about the tournament, I will make one someday soon. Paul SS#1140
