I voted on Davo’s survey on July 30, 2008 and commented on the issue several times during the discussion in July and August.

Before my brother and I started collecting, we were just tourists and, yes, we did sit at the machines for hours playing them (especially him). We didn’t know there was a club but we just collect things. Once we learned about the club, we got a little more involved. I know the Silver Strikers play much more intensely than tourists when they are there but the tourists are there 24/7 365 days a year and I believe are still a major factor in the casinos’ decision-making, like it or not.

I don’t like the HSP’s or the decals on the $200’s either. However, I do own some of them and I appreciate Craig and the others that are trying to keep the program going.
