Chuck - Isn't it true that when the gaming commsion put a 500 run on chips several casinos stopped issueing them ? I could be wrong but belive I read this somewhere. If casinos are ordered to make 500 of something that will not ever get taken do you think they will take the time to continue a $200 strike program, I don't think so. As I said in another post no matter what happens not everybody is going to be happy and it could lead to a casino dropping their strike program, nothing good ever comes out of people complaining to the gaming board people, it might make a couple people feel happy but it would seem to make a larger group of people unhappy.Maybe when IGT brings out their new style strike machine they will make one where you can play for a $200 strike instead of exchanging $10 strikes for a $200 strike, If this happened it would be a $5 machine I think and I also think that there would be few players lining up to play $5 to $15 per pull.
