My husband and I played 2 of the machines at the Palms on Sunday May 2nd. Between the two of us, we were able to get enough strikes to get 2 pounders, and two complete sets for a bit less than the $14 to $16 per strike average. If I remember correctly we averaged about $12 per strike which in our opinion, isn't too bad. We did have dry spells, but on the average, it worked out. We love playing at the Palms and love their strike designs.
