“Norman it looks like you have the handle on things. You mentioned two, guess that refers to John Saunders and Myself.”

ANSWER: Sorry, Not you. John Sanders and Tom seem to do most of the complaining and I will expect they will post a message as to where the machine is located. They seem to post all the problems but don’t post any solutions. My question to them is how are the collectors, who can’t make it to Vegas September 3rd or even the remainder of this year, going to get a FQ $200 Joker with out my help?

"Thought that the Queens had put a one fill limit on playing their Machine, during the Convention!!"

ANSWER: They certainly did and it wasn’t because the locals were hogging the machine. It reads, “ONE HOPPER FILL PER PERSON. YOU MUST RELINQUISH THE MACHINE ONCE YOUR PAY IS COMPLETED.” And right below that in smaller print, “Management reserves all rights.”
Now I would be surprised if I went there today and played the machine and someone from the Slot Department came along and told me that I had to stop playing as there is seldom someone waiting to play.

"Just wondering if you may know the Woman who played for their Friend as Stated by them."

ANSWER: I probably know them if they collect strikes but I can’t say for sure. My stooges work dayshift.

"You also stated about being small time players,& not knowing where the Machines are. Sorry to disapoint you.,but I started Collecting when Strikes first came out,in A/C & Mississippi,back around 1992 & then on to Nevada. Played for the $2 Strikes. Do you remember them? They were in Nickel Machines. There were a small group of Collectors at that time who I traded with. Perhaps you may know some of them. Mary Lou Waterbury, Ray Moritz, Art Quivey, Les Hassel & A few others,who have either Passed away ,or have given up Collecting. This was before the Club was formed. Bought Strikes from Jack Haddock,& Ed Hoffman also. Have Quite an extensive Collection,but am not here to brag about Numbers."

ANSWER: No I don’t remember the $2 or $7 machines. I do know and have met some of the people you mention, most of whom fall under "& A few others."

"Remember when the Queens pulled the Machine with the Millennium, a few Years back, the Manager gave the Cage permission to Purchase what ever was available. Bought 3 Sets & left the rest for other Collectors. Not against buying and selling,just believe in giving the other guy a chance."

ANSWER: I didn’t buy any and left them all for the collectors. Who got most of them???

"Oh! by the way do you collect Silver Strikes??"

ANSWER: No. I stated this in a post months ago. If I collected strike I would probably have 50 or more Four Queens Joker strikes after Sept. 3rd!!!!
