Norm maybe right on except for the money taken in. I think alot of the casino's will buy their strike machines and maybe a few of the casino's who used to have strike progams will buy up one of the machines before IGT dumps them. The only possible hiccup later down the road might be replacment parts once IGT runs out of them. It seems that IGT just doesn't want the headache of dealing with the program because they are saying they will tell the casino's who to deal with as far as getting strikes go.
Time will tell and it could turn out to be a good thing for strikes.
