I have read a lot of #$%^&*+@ about this. I think Janel and the Flamingo did a super job. the banquet was great I met some wonderful people and listened to a member tell Janel these were junk strikes and when when the club left just see how much play there would be. I think they could fill the tournement without any strike members.I have been collecting strikes for about 3 years and did not know about the club until just before the tournement. I have about 6 people collecting strikes in our small town that will probably not join club only because they just pick up a few when they are there. I will probably join this week.I will stay at the Flamingo and gamble there. I hope to get a spot in the tournament, my wife will play one session and I the other. What other casino has offered us a tournament. some have taken machines out.Thanks Janel & the Flamingo
