HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU BE A REAL STRIKE COLLECTOR? AND NOT IN THIS HOBBY FOR A PROFIT? IF YOU ONLY GET TO VEGAS A FEW TIMES A YEAR ? AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SO INVOLED IN THIS HOBBY? AND HAVE NO INTEREST IN PLAYING A STRIKE MACHINE?? STRIKE MACHINES ARE ONE OF THE ONLY THING THAT KEPTS THIS HOBBY ALIVE!! IF YOU DON'T PLAY THE STRIKE MACHINES YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THIS HOBBY!! IF THE STRIKE MACHINES STOP BEING PLAYED THEY WILL BE PULLED FROM THE CASINOS! I UNDERSTAND BUYING OLDER STRIKES ON AUCTION, BUT I CAN NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND HOW A SO CALLED BIG TIME STRIKE COLLECTOR THAT SUPPORTS THIS HOBBY DOES NOT PLAY THE STIKES MACHINES(THE LIFE LINE OF THIS HOBBY) WHEN THEY ONLY GET TO VEGAS A FEW TIMES A YEAR? SOMETHING DOES NOT SEEN RIGHT WITH THAT PICTURE!! ANYONE WHO LOVES THIS HOBBY DREAMS ABOUT GETTING OFF THAT PLANE AND CAN'T WAIT TO WIN A STRIKE!! I GET TO VEGAS 5 OR 6 TIMES A YEAR, I SPEND OVER 1/2 OF MY TRIP RUNNING FROM CASINO TO CASINO WINNING AS MANY STRIKES AS I CAN!! WHAT A RUSH THAT GIVES ME!! I THINK IF ANY STRIKE COLLECTOR HAS LOST THAT FEELING TO PLAY THE STRIKE MACHINES, AND RUSHING FROM CASINO TO CASINO TO GET THE NEW STRIKES DOES NOT GIVE THEM A SILVER STRIKE HIGH THEY NEED TO MOVE ON !! WE NEED STRIKE COLLECTORS THAT PLAY THE MACHINES , SHOW THE CASINO'S HOW MUCH THE MACHINES ARE WANTED IN THE CASINO'S!!! THIS IS JUST MY OPTION FROM A SILVER STRIKE COLLECTOR THAT STILL GETS A RUSH FROM PLAYING THE STRIKE MACHINES!!
