"I feel that by simply putting a few in a machine to "legitimize" these as strikes basically would make MY argument."

So then if I understand your position correctly Bob ... any casino can make extremely limited numbers of such items and give them away as prizes on rub-off promotion cards to selected customers and they could be considered "Silver Strikes?"

If that's your definition of what makes a silver strike a silver strike, because the casino says so ... then there is no need for anymore of the back and forth statements of positions that neither one is going to change. It's been fun, and I agree its time to put this puppy to bed.
