Brian,

Many of the strikes you listed are not in play. It is also likely that four of the Flamingo strikes you list will never be issued at all, just like the O'Shea's and Flamingo Convention strikes. Simply because it is on the approval list doesn't mean it will ever get made. Not to criticize, but when you post such a list, people think the strikes are in play and start chasing them. There are many strikes approved that never saw the light of day, the most recent example being the $200 from Caesars Palace Las Vegas. It has been cancelled. Just relax and wait until the strike is confirmed in play before you start the panic. At the convention, we saw strikers race out to Silverton for three days before the machines contained their new strikes. And some people decided the Aladdin had a convention strike and went there when no such strike was ever contemplated much less issued.
