Hi everyone,

I wanted to run something by you guys. First of all every year Strictly Slots puts out their list of "Best of's". Well I was wondering what you all thought of this for this last year of 2009. The main reason why I am skeptical about this is because that magazine as we know is in trouble. Having said that I am questioning how accurate this information is because they ask for their readers to turn in ballots. If they cannot seem to get their magazine published in a timely manner, how can they pull off the ballots. Did people get their mags to vote? Did they receive and count the votes accurately? Just a few of the questions I have. Here is the list of the Best Slots for 2009 listed by categories in order of popularity:

Hard to say, considering we have almost nothing on the list...and certainly nothing new.

I think we should start our own list!

Wow, Deb.. thanks for taking so much time and effort into your "Best of" threads! But then again, you always are doing just these sorts of things, and I think I speak for everyone that we really appreciate it!

As far as what I noticed, there are tons of duplicates on here, so, I wonder if you're correct in thinking that maybe a lot of different people didn't get to vote.

And dear Yads, I think that's a great idea. I really enjoyed thinking of my favorites for the month of January!

Top Dollar saved me in LV

Honestly it took my all of about 10 minutes. I am a pretty fast typer. Anyway since I just got this issue which is November 2009 that has the best of in it, I am wondering when their cut off was for ballots because they are so far behind in publications did people actually even get their magazines that have the ballots in them. They do not offer voting online which would be the BEST thing to do you think? It just seems odd to me. I don't know maybe I over scrutinize or am too critical. One or the other I am sure! lol

hmm not sure how Cleopatra made that list.. Sure you can get a 2 or 300 dollar hit but probably after you pumped in about 400 lol. Where is Stinkin Rich! it didn't make any list? lol.

For Cleopatra to have made that list is ridiculous, IMO. And I am a super model!!! That is how incredible that is! lmao I really take issue with some of what it says. Especially when they have Star Trek which is ONLY video listed in two of the REEL categories.
