Bonsour all,
In this case I have come to believe. The pulling of the strike machines at the ORLEANS CASINO. Has been caused somehow by troubles with IGT. And NOT because of the cost of silver.
REASONING of mine--- why would the Orleans go through all the trouble & cost of. Getting new strikes for their strike machines. Including having them minted. AND then putting them in their strike machines.(NOTE: Minting just a few of each in NOT the cost effictive way to mint strikes) Then pretty much all of a sudden pulling them out. Without some kind of a on going problem or a problem poping up. Seems --to me--the Orleans slot management finally got fed up. AND SAID THAT'S IT ---PULL THEM !!!!!!!! OUT!!!!!!!!! Send all the strikes back NOW!!!!!!!
Another thing look how LONG the Orleans has had silver strike machines in the casino. I always had thought that the Orleans was good dependable silver strike casino.
