I've had a couple of people email me about my post reporting on the new Majestic Star slot card. I guess i wasnt real clear so I'll redo the post and rehash it again and add some details.

To clearify: there are TWO new cards with two different printing variations. One with the name on the top and on the bottom it has a date. The second one has the name in the middle of the card and an expieration date at the bottom of `04.

The first of the new card printing style is just like the old card style. Both of the new cards have the same picture. The only difference is in what the machine prints on them. The name and the date. Here is a segment of my original post with added mention of the software assumption:

I noticed an interesting change in the way the card is printed. I received my card right when they began to issue them. The name was then printed at the top of the card and the bottom had only a date. The very next day I picked up new cards and noticed that they had moved the position of the name from the top to the middle and instead of the date of issue replaced it with a date of expiration (one year later) My first new card was exactly like the old card way of doing it. It appears that they have changed their printing style along with the new card. I assume they didnt have the new software installed in time for the new cards and the very first ones were printed with the old software.

Here is a scan of both of the new cards along with the old now obsolete red one. Notice the similarities in the two bottom cards. The top card is the newest. Intersting turn of events dont you think? I have a feeling this first issue of the new card is going to be a real collectors item since not many were done before switching to the new style.
