Also , Dont know If I missed the post but the Westward Ho Is now CLOSED . You can redeem chips, strikes ect ... at the Riviera across the street.Also was told at the Frontier that the extra Strikes will be available for Sale at the Gift shop . When or if is the question . I have a few comments on my 3 day trip , I was in the Circus Circus and couldnt get the hands extended out clown . The cashiers cage upstairs was awesome ! They looked through 5 racks of 50 and NONE . But thought it was nice they took the time . Also , at the Plaza I was trying for a Vegas Vic when one cylinder ran out . I explained I had been playing a long time and for my Inconvenience they should pull me out a Vegas Vic . Well , you guessed it NONE in the machine . But nice they checked . Its simple to me but its all in the training . Each column should be the Same Strike and the six should be displayed and IN THE MACHINE . If they are out of one , pull out the display ! I played TI , all the display shows is Tangerine . Yet I got Sirens . At El Cortez , I liked the idea of RED caps all in one column rather than scattered in each . That way your not waiting for them to get low enough to play for . Slot o Fun ( was no fun ) for me . $60 NO STRIKE . Left and went back later $40 NO STRIKE . But was Happy at El Cortez , hit 777 on third line for 500 quarters . Left with 10 strikes ( 2 red caps ) and $100 profit . SWEET ! Hit Stardust with triple bar , Double diamond , double Diamond for $80 twice . Left there as well with many strikes and extra cash !! Fitzgeralds as well , needed one of the 3 . Got it within the first 2 or 3 pulls . So I played out my $10 and left with $50 . Well the good luck made up for the bad in the long run . Came home with 97 strikes . 50 I needed and 47 extras ( up on ebay!)for approx $1100. Not Bad !
