When the Mandalay Bays were just out, I was determined to get them.....I had $400 in the $40 machine and had 4 strikes...then I hit the TRIPLE red sevens on the third line for $500.....after that they flew out of the machine...think I got 12 $40s and all the $10s, plus my $400 cash back...Then I went to the players card counter and asked if I had enough points to get anything....the lady asked if I was hungry..(I am always hungry) so I got a $40 voucher for the Red, white and blue American restaurant...and had a $40 steak dinner....But, I have had bad experiences with the strike machines other times, other places...Silver strikes are still the best casino collectible to collect.....
