My 2 cents worth.....
I was told by "the horses mouth" that the upcoming Four Queens redcaps will be HSP, but the ones after that will be silver. The decision to go to HSP was made when silver was around $20 an ounce.....Looking at the bright side of all of this is that other casinos may get back into the strike program. Their "house coins" will cost them less, thus more profit for them. If they keep the redcaps (and other colored caps may be forthcoming) and $200s silver, I think the hobby could survive and even grow. For me this is fun, so I will continue on with a positive outlook. I encourage all of you to do the same.....thanks, Jim
