No Bob; I don't think I'm trying to "cloud the issue" at all. I was not aware at the beginning of this thread that regular slot machines were going to be used for this "silver strike tournament". As I suggested an analogy to you in an earlier email... "it's like entering a craps tournament on a roulette table".

BTW: I thought we put this puppy to bed hours ago? Goodnight All! I'm done.
