Has anyone asked to see a copy of the supposed patent that IGT has on the manufacture of silver strikes. After being a cop for 20 years I rarely takes anyones word for the truth until I see proof. It iwll be public record in the U.S. Patent Office or Library of Congress. I know, I have several patents and copyrights myself. Our club is not a puppet to IGT, anything they make, buy or sell, or anyone else so lets stop thinking that way.
