I got two .999 strikes at the Palms, really didn't matter to me since I have them all already in my collection. I was just trying to get $10s for the $200s. All three of the Palms machines were tight. People on this board enjoy reading stories like yours, just because you don't get alot of comments doesn't mean it wasn't appreciated. Hope to see you at one of the events, they are lots of fun....Jim
