hello John. i don't know who has been feeding you this misinformation. the palms made [2] different blue caps[chapter & ccgtcc]. there were 750 of each. 100 strikes were put into each of [3] different machines on tuesday. of this 100, 20 of each blue cap were inserted. the strikes were gone by friday morning. that is theoretically 250 of each blue cap per machine. it does not take much play to empty out the blue caps. all of the 750 of each were won. there is no skunk involved. steve
