Hi, with the price of silver at $9.70 an ounce, what will the affect be on the $10 strikes. I went to Vegas last week and I noticed that of the $10 machines I could find, that they had been emptied and closed (note that I didn't vigarously search for the machines, but I do like to keep an eye out for them). Up until recently, my idea of collecting strikes is just to win them on occasion, but since they are silver and the price of silver is so high, I decided to buy some of the cheaper ones on Ebay. Oh I did find one $10 strike machine, but to play cost 4 quarters per pull or no possibility of a strike.
