Now that you published one story, here's another. This one just happened this week, the week before Memorial Day, 2016.
As usual, I combined gathering with work travel. I had to be in Syracuse NY so, rather than go directly, about a 5 1/2 hour drive, I went by way of the Akwesasne Casino in upstate New York. That's also about 5 1/2 hours from home but then it's another 3 plus hours to Syracuse (more on that part of the trip later).
My main point in going to the Akwesasne was not so much to gather chips (but of course I would have if I could have) but more to try to discover some of the history of the illegal gaming done on the St. Regis Reservation.
I couldn't find anyone who could tell me anything! Maybe I could have if I had a couple of days to spend in the area but I gave it about three hours. I checked with pit bosses, the floor manager, security, and tried to find the Indian Gaming Commission. I was told that the Commission had an office in the casino but that I couldn't get to it!
I left the casino and found the Akwesasne management office. they told me that the Gaming Commission was back on the other side of the casino. So I backtracked to try to find that.
I found their personnel office where I was told the Gaming Commission was located in the casino! When I explained what happened in the casino, they told me a secret(!) back way into the office. Sounded good but I still couldn't find it.
I then figured I would try some barrooms (couldn't find any), antique shops (couldn't find any), and smoke shops (found lots of them). Even thought there were some old-timers in them, nobody could, or would, tell me anything.
I also showed everyone I spoke to the St. Regis Mohawk images from the Chipguide but everybody claimed they had never seen them.
So, after about three wasted hours on the reservation, except that I did walk away with about $40.00 from a crap table, I headed towards Syracuse. I knew how to go but I put on my GPS.
After a couple of miles, it said to turn right. I did so out of curiosity. That took me onto a toll bridge to Canada with no way to turn around. So I went into Canada and, when asked why I was going to Canada, I explained what happened. The customs agent eventually told me how to turn around and go back over the bridge. So I again had to pay the toll and now go through US customs.
After the usual questions about citizenship, etc., I was asked how long I had been on Canada. I said about 5 minutes! That took a bit of explaining!
For the next ten miles or so, the GPS kept telling me to make a legal u-turn and apparently go over the bridge again. Finally it gave up, until I came to the next bridge to Canada. This time I ignored it but it again kept telling me to make a legal u-turn for several miles.
Only thing I can think of is that there's a highway on the Canadian side which is much faster than the road I was on in New York. What the GPS obviously did not know is how long it takes to go through Canadian and US customs!
So I eventually made it to Syracuse and of course had to visit Turning Stone and the new Yellow Brick Road casinos. FYI, those are both owned by the Oneida Indian Nation. Nothing new at Turning Stone but I did make my usual pleas to try to buy their not used drop chips which they absolutely refuse to sell.
So on to Yellow Brick Road. That facility is somewhat interesting. From what I could see, it's a strip mall which they took over completely. it was surprisingly busy but it is closer to Syracuse and it was now after dinner time so maybe it shouldn't be surprising.
I gathered my chips from there (plus about $60.00 at the crap table) and headed to my motel to prepare for the next morning with a client.

DIAMOND MOUTAIN CASINO IS NORTHWEST OF RENO, NV ON HIGHWAY 395. IT IS PRETTY DESOLATE UP IN THAT AREA, BUT SUSANVILLE IS ON THE EDGE OF THE SIERRAS.
NANCY AND I WERE ON OUR LAST LEG OF OUR MONTH VACATION JUST BEFORE TYING THE KNOT ON AUGUST 5TH 2007. WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD JUST FINISHED MAKING A COUPLE OF PARKING LOTS, EVERY WHERE WAS A CLEAN BLACK TOP. AND I WAS PRETTY SURE THEY HAD A NEW STRUCTURE WHERE THE CASINO WAS BUILT. http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=CASUDM
HERE IS ONE YOU DO NOT RUN INTO EVERY DAY. IT WAS MONDAY AND THEIR POKER ROOM DOES NOT OPEN ON MONDAY’s. WHEN I GOT TO THE BLACKJACK TABLE THEY HAD SILVER TOKES AND FIVE DOLLAR CHIPS. SO, WITH A LITTLE INVESTIGATION, CHIT CHATTING WITH THE DEALERS, I AM INTRODUCED TO THE CASINO MANAGER OF THE DAY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I AM CHIP COLLECTOR AND A CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF THE CLUB, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE COIN AND STAMP CLUBS OF AMERICA. I ALSO, EXPLAINED THAT HIS DOLLAR CHIPS IS ONE OF THE BEST METHODS ADVERTISING OF ADVERTISING HIS CASINO. AND AFTER A LITTLE THOUGHT, HE SAID I HAVE A FEW ERRANDS TO TAKE CARE OF BUT IF YOU GIVE ME ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR, I WILL BE BACK AND HELP YOU OUT. HE DID COME BACK (I SUSPECT HE HAD TO MAKE A CALL OR TWO) AND TOOK ME TO THE MAIN CASHIER, GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS. I ASKED FOR THIRTY ONE DOLLAR CHIPS AND THE CASHIER CHEERFUL COUNTED THEM OUT AND THEN I FED HER TIP JAR. I DID BUY ENOUGH AT THIS CASINO BUT I AM RUNNING LOW. …REGGIE

I am always trying to put things together that have some semblance of balance. Of course, that will always be in the eye of the beholder. Some of these may attract you the collector a little or a lot, no matter which way it attracts, please know I am always trying to help you out, with items you want at price that is fair. For now, I am going to do them every week, but as an unscheduled surprise feature…Thanks for looking. Reggie
If you have some ideas about compatible pairs please send them in to me. If it is possible and I happen to have the two, they will be put on the docket...reg

• THE BULK OF THE TIME IT MEANS THAT IT WAS SOLD BEFORE THE PAGE WAS DISPLAYED
• OFTEN IT MEANS THAT THE CHIP IN QUESTION WAS TRADED BEFORE THE SCHEDULED PAGE DATE.
• IT CAN ALSO BE THE VICTIM OF THE ANNUAL CONVENTION TRADE SESSIONS IN LAS VEGAS.
PLEASE KNOW THAT I AM AN ACTIVE TRADER, I OFTEN MENTION THIS IN MY POSTS ON THE CHIPBOARD.
PLEASE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT MY CHIPS ARE POSTED FREQUENTLY ON THE “PAGE OF THE DAY” AND AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE BEING DISPLAYED IN THE COLLECTION LIBRARY.
ALSO, I SELL INDIVIDUAL ITEMS ON A DAILY BASIS ON THE CB.
AND THERE IS A POSSSIBILITY THAT I TRADED OR SOLD IT AT A PRIVATE SESSION IN MY HOME OR AT A FLORIDA STATE CC-GTCC MEETING.
PLEASE ALSO MAKE A NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO SELL AND TRADE AS OFTEN AS I DO. I NEED TO BUY CHIPS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SO, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I BUY, SELL AND TRADE. “LET’S TRADE” …REGGIE
MANY YEARS AGO I STARTED MY POSTING, BY POSTING “A SET OF THE DAY” I THINK I HAD ABOUT 300-400 SETS ALL TOGETHER. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN BACK THEN. AND WHEN I STARTED DOING “A PAGE A DAY” I INCLUDED BETTER SETS AS A CATEGORY.
BUT NOW; RATHER THAN HAVING MY BETTER SETS CATEGORY, I WILL START HAVING A REGULAR SET OF THE DAY WITH MY OTHER FEATURES WHEN I DISPLAY A “PAGE OF THE DAY”.
I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE. SEE POD FOR P/H RATES. SEND ME AN EMAIL FOR ORDERS OR QUESTIONS…Reggie

Starting 2016, I have listed everything I have (all of my excel inventory +) on the collection library trader/for sale. Of course, many of you did not know that my previous listings were items I had more than one of. Now, everything; even the ones I only have 1 (one) of will be listed. Please know; none of these are from my personal collection. One more important point while searching for chips on my CL site; there are two settings for viewing my chips. One is a simply a long, long list of pictures and descriptions. Two is by Country/City/State/Casino alphabetical. You may request to change this at any time. And when you do I will leave it on that setting for a couple of days, or whatever you request within reason, before I change to help another chipper’s request.
Follow This Collection Library Link To Approximately +/- 4500 Trader Chips >>>: http://www.collectionlibrary.com/Index.asp?EvApp=mls.5117&sPageName=MyTraders
This will cause more work for me, and along with that will be the possibility of more errors, and chances for items to slip through the cracks. So, I apologize in advance for the times I do not clear off a listing after it has been sold. Also, on the other side of coin, there will be times I will find a very nice item that I had forgot to put on the “Collection Library” when I first got it. And now I am listing it just when you started looking for it.
*On the subject of trading, please know: When you spot something on my CL Trader/For Sale list that you really want, I need to get something that I can put into my collection, also; or it will be a cash sale. Because, to take in trade something I will in turn have to sell, (that is already in my collection) requires me to work twice as hard to complete the original transaction.
The total amount of chips listed on this site as traders and for sale are approximately 4500. This of course will fluctuate up and down, however this number should afford most collectors looking for a piece to put in their collection at least an opportunity to see a few chips not often offered.
Thanks for taking your time to read over this post, Reggie
*Please read thoroughly
