Dan - Most of what you say is true and bad for us collectors. My brother-in-law is in Tahoe this week and I asked him to check at Bills and also at Harveys, he did this morning and it is
confirmed that Bills has no more Red Caps left and the strike progam seems to be up in the air at this time and at Harveys it seems there are problems with IGT and they are getting tired of the problems and don't think they continue trying to get the strikes or strike machines.
Brother-in-law was also told that there is only .07 cents profit in a silver strike that walks out of the casino due to the price IGT know charges for the stikes and this might be why several casino's have removed their strike machines.
