I'm happy that all of you have had such luck. In my trips to Reno/Tahoe it was always 20 to 40 for ONE or Two. Of course my luck on slots has always been bad. If you could win them at the craps table, I'd probably be down in that $12 to $14 average. I've found that buying them direct from other collectors is cheaper but not necessarily as much fun. At least when your playing, the cocktail waitresses come around. I've never bought a strike from a strike collector and got a beer also. Ahhh, they probably wouldn't look good in a short skirt either.
