- $10 Christmas strike at O’Sheas (limited edition of 750).
- $10 Special strike for Hand Pay Jackpots at O’Sheas’, (limited edition of 50).
- The first two $10 Strikes of the JOIN THE FUN series at The Flamingo. The series consist of 12 strikes limited to 1750 each.
- The O’Shea $200.00 Strike will be available at O’Sheas’.
- Both Flamingo $200.00 Strikes will be available at the Flamingo.

Any HAND PAY jackpot on ANY O’Shea slot machine will qualify for the special strike. The hand pay must be due to a jackpot and not just cashing out.

O’Sheas’ will accept the Elephant, Donkey, 12th Anniversary, Halloween, and Christmas strikes in exchange for the $200 strike. The only O’Shea strike not accepted in exchange for the $200 will be the O’Shea Lucky 4-Leaf Clover strike.

The Flamingo will accept any of the current 2001 series Flamingo Strikes (there are three different 2001 strikes) plus any of the strikes from the JOIN THE FUN series. The Flamingo will have four machines in play, two with the current 2001 series and two with the JOIN THE FUN series.

Remember this is the first Silver Strike tournament and the kinks are still being worked out and things will continue to be refined. As you can see there is a lot happening and it is all coming together.
