Hi Frank, I just talked to my son who ended up in LV because the airport in Reno (his destination) was closed due to snow. He had just gotten the Palms Santa and he had 8 others and $60 left from his original $100. I guess you just have to hit those machines at just the right time like all the other slot machines. This is going to make it very important for collectors to be good traders to help everyone out. Save all your strikes for trades!!
