which Warwick has responded to with a note from the Gaming Manager.

Suggests that the MAIN reason for removing the Silver Strike program is.

the slot machines that are used for the Silver Strikes have a multitude of mechanical problems. The company that provides the games has not been willing to retrofit new equipment with the hopper required for the special tokens.

I agree that the designs the Hard Rock has used in the past have been less desirable than others. I've sent a reply to Warwick to pass along to the Gaming Manager. Also noting the problems with Anchor Gaming's machines. Even the newest machine I played at Caesar's Tahoe had problems with paying out Silver Strikes when won. I had to have a mechanic open it up at least 5 times to receive the token.

I think that Anchor Gaming should have by now came up with a fix for this type of problem with their Silver Strike machines.

I just hope that the Gaming Manager will re think this position. The Silver Striker's are probably the next largest casino collectibles group after the chip collectors.
