Shawn - Where are you getting your production costs ? If it was costing IGT more then they were selling them for they would have stopped the production of the $10 strike as it is know made. The casino's are paying just under $10.00 per strike at this time. Given the fact that IGT still gets a a monthly fee from the casinos for the machine I think the program is going to continue unless as another person said the casinos get tired of people complaining and drop there strike programs.
This horse is dead so lets put it to bed and hope the strike progam continues.
