Dave, I didn't take notes but here's some of what I remember - please understand that I may not have remembered everything exactly as heard. Caveat emptor. A couple of points which may or may not be of interest. First of all, and I think this has been mentioned before, they seem to be very high on this 90# Bingo game. The way it was explained to me, it is much more lucrative to the hall than ordinary bingo making it a very big selling point. Also, Greg mentioned that just last week Triplewin had six inquiries alone on the game so obviously the show exposure is paying off. I also got the impression that Vaprel is close to closing some deals in South America on TB. The split on TB is 10% to the JV on the ante and 25% on the progressive. To his knowledge, the progressive had not been hit yet in OK. and of course the more it grows the higher the interest. (it was hit in the opening weekend when they were playing for prizes and not money). Also, and I didn't realize this, the progressive is not only the first three #'s drawn but they must be drawn in order on your card - again this makes the odds higher which in turn makes the pot grow and increases interest and thus profits. The equipment itself is state of the art with excellent graphics and touch screens. It is very comparable with anything I've seen by IGT, WMS, CSDS or SLOT. My only concern in this regard is that older folks who are not computer people may be turned off by what may seem to be too confusing. I'm sure there is more but I flew the redeye last night - will post as remembered. Gary
