The major reason for the silver strike machine at the Mirage is in support of the Terry Fator show.
Shaun Webster has run a successful silver strike program for many years, he , his staff and the Four Queens supports the club and the members. One of the reasons his $300 strikes are so successful is because he limits the mintage and he supports the $300 with the red caps and blue caps. We have to play for the reds and the blues which gives us many extra clears to have for the $300 and with the limit of 150 its easy to see why they are gone within the first few hours.
I think that the Venetian has been looking at how Shaun and the Four Queens support their program and I am in hopes that they will be successful in accomplishing the same thing. Time will tell.
