i just returned from a fact finding trip to vegas...
there is a hold up on all new strikes being made. there will be little involvement from igt as of jan.
the mints were not state licensed but rather were able to make strikes under the umbrella of igt's. even though igt is "still involved" till the end of the year, i am unsure why they have not let the mint use there license any further.
sunshine is in the process of an application to the state and are not allowed to or are unwilling to do any art work until they are legal.
the four queens is hopeful but cautious in saying the next 200 and matching red cap will be released the week before halloween.
hope this helps
scott
