Dennis, I think most of the Casinos will let you know when they issue 500 only. If they won't tell you this you can only presume that they are issuing more than 500.

Let's say they made only 500 red caps and place them 1 red per 10 strikes. At approxiamately $15 per strike $75,000 has to be run through a machine to win all the red caps. Five casinos in Vegas so far are running programs with red caps and that will probably expand. I think the Four Queens has issued 6 red caps this year so far.

Now there is the possibility that they will issue $40 and maybe $200 strikes. This hobby could get very expensive.
