Just got back to Alaska from a week of striking. Two days in Laughlin was a complete bust. Could not find 1 machine there. Nice Lady at the Pioneer cage found 4 olds ones in a cabinet and sold them to me. Mandalay bay was a toughie. Second pull on the $1.00 hit a 3 Banger. Down hill from there. Got total of 7 for $600. investment. Talked to the Slot Manager there. Very Nice guy was real interested in the club. Slots of fun gave us the best run of our lives. 37 ten dollar strikes for a $250.00 Investment.(3 Pink Caps) Walked out of there skipping and singing. Treasure Island was kind of a bummer. Strikes fell ok but they only have Tangerine. Cage didnt have any thing else either. California club was pretty decent. Still have Zodiacs but did get one California Casino Strike. All in all pretty fair trip that beat the hell out of work. Ran into and got to meet Tracy and Stacy Bottenmiller who I had traded with thru mail a couple years ago. real nice folks. Guess I need to start planning for the next trip. Mike G. SS # 851
