Just got back from Vegas with my yearly group of non strikers. Since my striking buddy was not along I went as a tourist this time but paused at the California to show the two gals I was with the new strike machine. One of them wanted to give it a try and got a strike with $5.00 in. The new machine has a lot of glitz and glamour when you get one but took a few minutes to figure out where the strike was---lol. She then tried the machine at Westward Ho and got a strike and then walked up to the machine at Slots Of Fun, dropped three quarters in and got a strike. I hate her---lol. One evening while passing the machine at The New Frontier saw a couple with numerous srikes in the tray and, not having the good fortune to have met any of you strikers yet, I asked them if they were strikers. They were not but getting them for Norm in San Bernadino. Was nice talking to you Norm on the cell phone---lol. Hope they did good for you! If you are taking a vote on the new machine VS the old ones, I vote for the old ones----Sherry
