Hi Archie
Yes I remember those times, they occurred during conventions, & tournaments - because the sponsoring casino or other striker friendly casinos assigned xtra casino personnel to occasionally monitor the play at their strike machines.
This was in the "players and casinos" best interests, I believe it fostered good relationships between strikers & other strikers, casinos & strikers, and strikers and potential new strikers trying to get some play during our gatherings.
There are at least a dozen or more Strike Club members that willingly gave up their seats at a machine to me, or outright gave me even "trades" for strike for strike, because I didn't have time, deep pockets "Money" to play for a strike.
Not That I'm Poor ,But Already spent my Cash Reserve & then some---Hah
