Management can blame the removal of the program on a few obnoxiuos collectors if they want but
I have lived in Vegas for over 20 years now and one thing I can say for certain is that if they are making good money that machine will stay. I have played poker in this town and I guarantee the abuse is sometimes worse in the poker rooms than around any silver strike machine.

If you see how some of the programs are run you can understand why they remove the machines and I would say that it is primarily the result of Slot Management not being interested enough in their program to promote red caps, $200 strikes, decent designs and turnover of different strikes.

I rest my case.
