- Silver Strike slots and slots in racinos. Hi John, A while ago I wrote you about the video poker at a NY racino, and you explained the difference between Class II and Class III machines, and how the outcomes are pre-determined regardless of your skill level.
As casino floors evolved over the years, Silver Strike slot machines became less prevalent as more high-tech machines were added. Now considered a historic game with only a handful of machines still in existence, the Silver Strike has a growing and dedicated fan base, many of whom are loyal Plaza customers. To meet growing customer demand and further diversify its gaming offerings, the Plaza recently obtained two of the industry’s remaining machines.
The Silver Strike slot machine by IGT is double diamond 3 slot with a twist! The bonus, which is triggered by landing the Silver Strike bonus symbol in reel 3, awards you a physical prize in the form of a souvenir token, which I believe you can also redeem for $10 although why would you want to do that?!

“We continually look for ways to enhance our casino experience with not only the latest technology but also games that pay homage to our gaming history,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Retro games like Silver Strike are increasing in popularity today, just like vinyl records are in the music industry. We know our guests will enjoy the opportunity to play Silver Strike machines, and we are excited to bring them back to our casino floor.”
Silver Strike slot machines which have attracted a cult following are becoming harder and harder to find in Las Vegas. Silver Strike has become popular due to the collectible tokens that are dispensed when players line up the “Silver Strike” symbol on the 3rd line of the machine. Strikes dispensed are minted with imagery specific to the casino in which they are won, and are often rare, or limited in nature. Players rarely cash Silver Strike tokens in, and there is a vibrant second-hand market on Ebay, and similar websites.

What Las Vegas Casinos Still Offer Silver Strike?
Note that the positioning of Silver Strike games within the casino can, and will change somewhat frequently. We’ll do our best to keep locations up to date!
El Cortez: There is just one remaining Silver Strike machine at El Cortez and it can be found by walking toward the hotel registration desk from the front of the casino. You will stumble across the machine on the left-hand side of the walkway when you get approximately halfway to the registration desk.
Plaza: Currently, Plaza offers players 2 Silver Strike machines. Both are located directly in front of the casino cashier cage.
4 Queens: Offering players the most extensive selection of Silver Strike slot machines in Las Vegas, 4 Queens seemingly has them sprinkled across the gaming floor. While 9/10 machines only disburse $10 Silver Strike Tokens, the machine closest to the entrance (on the Golden Nugget side of the property) also dispenses $40 face value strikes with a yellow cap.
Although they once were, Silver Strikes are no longer offered at any Las Vegas Strip casino that we are aware of.
How Often are Silver Strike Tokens Dispensed
It’s a difficult question as there is no firm answer. I can only work off of my own limited experience. On my recent visit, I ran $20 through a Silver Strike machine at each of the casinos listed above. I was awarded 2 Silver Strikes at Plaza, 2 Silver Strikes at 4 Queens (including a yellow cap $40 strike), and 1 at El Cortez. My assumption is that I ran hot and that the rate I won at isn’t indicative of future results. Let us know in the comments what you win!
As a differentiated slot experience, we would definatley encourage you to check out Silver Strike next time you are in Vegas! Who know, you may end up with a valuable souvenir.
