you just don't get it do you!! your not to old to understand are you? your strike machines are going to be gone very soon, there selling then at cage to get rid of them, either the casinos can get you suckers to buy them for $10 at the cage, or they get sent back to minting factory that made them, the casino managers all decided to get rid of the machines because of all the trouble with the machines breaking down, no profit, and all the pain in the ass strike collectors that bug everyone, see if you can understand this! no one playes the machines!! they make no profit for the casinos , the machines make less profit than any the slot machine at the 7-11 down from the strip, there are less than 400 strike collectors ,and alot of them never come to vegas to play, its just a fact of life the strike chapter has done a terrible job with there club , most of the leadership has done nothing but sit on there ass and try to look important, so the hobby has gone down the toilet, the chip club has been the opposite in every way, there growing, getting new members everyday, and they take care of each other, there not back stabers? i have never meet a chip collector that was not a gentleman . most strike collectors are just full of themselves, cut throat. i have collected chips for 27 years, i have meet about 1/3 of the strike collectors, i would not trust any of you, not just my opinion, over 2500 chip collectors feel the same way, and yes im speaking for all of them!
stay out of our hobby you are not wanted!! will will not let you ruin our hobby
