My soapbox speech .... If our Club is to survive, we must interest more casinos in getting into the program. Just because a casino does not choose to run their program exactly the way SOME members of the Club might want them to do, saying negative thoughts about this does not help. It also does not help the company that now owns the silver strike program and the new machines to sell their product to other potentially interested casinos. I'm sure casinos that might be interested in starting a silver strike program are doing their market research, and that includes reading this message board. Encouragement is needed, discouragement is not helpful. SOME Club members want 'silver, silver, silver'. The price of silver (while going down presently) still does not support this profitably for the casinos. Trade-offs have to be made. Casinos do not install slot machines to lose money.
