Chuck - I don't belive the gaming board has anything to do with the amount of strikes made it is the casino that sets the amount and then the board approves or denies the request. It has been stated by Mark K. that they aren't in the storage business but are out to move the strike. I also remeber posts about the $200 strikes that had over 100 made and they were still waiting for collectors to get, It would seem that there aren't 200 collectors of the $200 strikes but maybe 125 or 150 tops. If the casinos made more and they didn't move they just might think about dropping their strike program all together, this has happened in the past when casinos couldn't move their strikes. It seems that not all collectors will ever be happy, if a casino changes strike designs every month or two somebody complains they are issueing to many, if they keep the same design for months and sometimes years collectors again complain they need to come out with a new design and it seems when one of the blue cap chase strikes are issued most collectors complain about the price and not enough to go around, I am glad I don't have to run a strike program for a casino.
