I agree that IGT should have been selling the machines to marketing instead of the slot department. I know I have visited a lot of casinos to get strikes that I would have never gone into otherwise. And you are correct that when you show them off to friends and family you always talk about the casino it represents. The program has floundered because of IGT's insistants on a "shared revenue" program and then didn't support their side of the deal. It seems the mints used were overworked or just didn't care about prompt service. The casinos that insisted on Sunshine mint got the best strikes and seem to be happy with the program. Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and offer a service to keep the machines full for the casinos. Who knows maybe we will even get a "brothel token" machine if the casinos buy the machines they can put anything they want in them. Think happy striking!
