Tom, wow do I remember this casino and their strikes. I remember going there after they removed the strike machines. Anyone could redeem any strikes they won from $7 up to the $200 from there. Anyone just for the asking could buy from the cage all you wanted for face value. EXCEPT the $200 strikes. The cage people could show you the inside of the vault from where you stood and you could see a pile of the $200 strikes. They were under strict orders to never sell the $200 strikes as the owner wanted them all back. That was very early in my $200 collecting days so I did not look on eBay for one. Wish I had as now I would love to have one, but not at today's prices. The price is high because there just are not that many out there for the collector demand. Unless you are the old owner of the Fitz. , then you have plenty.
