Jim---we were shocked at Ottos in Black Hawk when they asked for us to return OUR slot card just days before they closed. As people redeemed the points for gifts, the cards were dropped into a box. They asked us for our card too. Heck no, I "lost it" of course. I didn't need that little teddy bear I could have got with my few points anyway! I watched as people handed the cards over in exchange for the items they had "earned". We did ask about the cards and were told they would be destroyed as they were casino property! Just thought you'd like to know. Pat
PS---I love this hobby and I'll fight to the death for my collection of cards. Well, maybe NOT MY death!!! Ha!
