I find your research rather interesting - but full of gaps - incomplete. I haven't played at Slots of Fun, so have no idea of that aspect. The Four Queens Ace of Spades is intriging for sure. I can say I became familiar with the disorganized New Frontier. The cage didn't even know the reason for interest in the $200 strikes - until about 2 weeks ago. Having spent many days there prior to their release, the cage was confused, and only management knew of their forthcoming release. I guess they (cage) caught on. But if they are buying them at face value, that is a violation of all rules pertaining to obtaining the strike.
I am most interested in what is really new coming up. The past is not dead but lacks the interest of forward looking Strikers.
I see the Palms moving their strike machines around and assume it is making room for the new ones.
I would like to see more information on this board of the type Mr. Finn has posted. Informational. I believe that we as an organization should have the latest information on what to expect. This requires a raport with the the Slot Managers of all Casinos with strike machines. Has someone in this organization established that raport and is willing to share? I will release information that I happen to stumble across to this board, but I do not call casinos or make much of an effort to secure information - an exception when I believed the New Frontier was issuing their 1st $200 (I think the 1st). I did follow through in this case.
