Unless the sample strike shown is much smaller than the current size of strikes I don't think this new sealed case will appear as it would mean junking all the hoppers, out feed chutes etc. in the current strike machines, this would be a cost that IGT wouldn't want. If the sample strike is indeed smaller than the current size and the case is the same size I wonder why IGT is thinking of doing this, the reason most collectors change the case isn't because they want a sealed case it is because they want a nice case with no marks etc so as to beable to see the strike.
