You're right Dave ... and so is Gene.

However, when one talks about "average" ... it takes into cosideration the highs and the lows. Some folks are lucky and win 3 coins at a time on one spin. I guess I wasn't on a "lucky" machine. I can buy those strikes for a hell of a lot less today from some dealer retail prices I've seen and have been offered. In fact, I purchased a Playboy 50th Anniversary $200 silver strike at the same Palms show from Josh Shore for $300 which is about the going rate.
