card readers, while others are in the business of slot card production.

This has been addressed on the Club's Slot Card/Room Key Chapter of the CC&GTCC Message Board.

Mag-stripe cards are typically encoded with a "sequence" number. A sequence number is just a numerical value that the computer system to which the card interfaces will recognize the card as being a part of that system. That number is then used within the computer to note your information.

Having that number will do absolutely nothing, unless you also have access to the computer system. If you had the access to the computer system, you would not need to know the number, because you would already have access to all the data.

My point here is that cards with mag-stripes, in almost all cases, will only have a sequence number written to it. Rarely, if ever will anything else be written to the stripe.
