Ric - Thanks for posting the responce from the NGC, like I said in my post before I belive it is IGT who doesn't want to make the $40's & $200 strikes as they more than likely don't make as much money from them as they do with the $10 strikes and with IGT its all about the profit. I remember when they first showed the new type machine at a show it was stated it could be used to gice out jewelry etc and not just strikes, this is I belive is why the new caps are larger.
