Quit whining like feline cats. All you complainers about not getting a chance to play a machine is hog wash. I wrote and got a reply from the Palms that there will be a hopper limit per customer IF there is someone waiting in line. Don't use the excuse that there are stooges or anything else preventing you from getting your strikes, Get off your laurels and go to vegas and you will get your strikes. Don't blame anyone else if you are to cheap to go. Everyone knew when the Four Queens were issuing the Joker. Everyone knows when the playboy strikes are coming out. Just shut up and go. I did, and I got my one Joker, and I will also go and get my Playboy strikes. If you can't make it to Vegas, then it is your tough luck. The casinos have been more than fair to all of us. There are enough strikes if you go and play the first few days the strikes are released. If you can't or won't go, then just shut up and quit complaining that other people are willing to pay someone a premium to obtain one for them. Time is money and they deserve it. Do any one of you work for free?
