Hi Guys & Gals, Well the New Sandia Casino opened this past Friday night and the "sad" news is that they did'nt install a "strike" machine. The place looks great and with 118 million dollars invested is as impressive as any Vegas casino at that price. I personally talked to the General Manager, Gaming Manager and Slot Manager and voiced my disapproval of no strike machine while showing them strikes from Isleta and Camel Rock casinos and asking them why they allowed themselves to be one-upped by these two casinos. The Gaming manager said they could come up with a superior designed strike and I challenged him on it. They all said they would reconsider a strike machine so will wait and see what happens. That is about it for the latest New Mexico news. Happy collecting................Dick
