PIONEER CROSSING – YERINGTON, NV
BY – JAMES ERIC FREEDNER
I have a funny harvesting story from the Pioneer Crossing in out there. You might as well have it, with some Western jargon thrown in here and there, pardner.
When I went to the P. C. last summer (2014), I found all of two tables open (think the casino has four in all). So I moseyed up to one and asked the young lady if I could buy a few dollar and five-dollar chips. And to my happiness, she said, sure! So I bought a good amount (maybe 10 of the $1 and five of the $5), then ambled over to the buffet for dinner. I was growing hungry, it was around 6:30 and I figgered I might not make it back to "civilized" Carson City or Reno in time for their buffets. To my surprise, I found Pioneer Crossing had a decent spread - including crab legs, prime rib, turkey I think, and all the fixin's. I guess it's one of the few such places in town (don't know if Lucky Club offers similar grub). Reasonable prices, too, think it was mebbe $15. And some real cowboys dining there, too!
Well, sir, after dinner, I walked around town a bit, and that's when I sort of sashayed into Dini's and saw their one-armed bandits. So I walked back to Pioneer Crossing to mount up my trusty steed, Tamoca. And the idea hit me, maybe I should try for a $25 chip from Pioneer Crossing, certainly it might be a rarity. So I went to the other table (blackjack) where I saw some green chips and asked that dealer if I could buy one.
"Certainly not!" she retorted (in a voice loud enough for the first dealer and all the players to overhear). "If you buy a chip you have to play it. WE DON'T SELL TO COLLECTORS, EVER!"
And this tenderfoot just sort of limped on outta there...feeling truly hurt - as I had rather generously patronized the establishment. And then rode off into the sunset.

STATES PAGES ON THE PAGE OF THE DAY
FEATURED CHIP OF THE DAY
A WANTED CHIP
With the knowledge of the large amount of States collectors; excluding Nevada which already have their page of the day section. I have broken out the other States that are big enough to provide at least 20 $1 choices from any state. Hopefully, this will help highlight your favorite state of choice. Also, should a state not be able to support the minimum of 20 different chips, I will try to give it a page anyway, if it has around 17+ different chips.
These State Of pages will be presented random as they formerly were in the One Dollar category. Also, they will be included in the Previews of the Coming Week.
• Many pages from California, Washington, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, & Oklahoma etc.
• The pages from the Indian Casinos will be mixed in with the appropriate state.
• These pages will be presented in the same random format
• Some states will have partial pages attached to their last full page when the last page is not sufficiently populated.
• Some states endings will be on a “Left Over” page.
• Small state offerings will be listed as “Small States” combining 4-5 states together.
• Better and more evenly distribution of the larger states.
• These are hopefully; positive changes for specific states collectors.
• Of course; at the end of the cycle anything goes to make a “Page of the Day.”
• Please, please offer any other helpful improvements if you have a good idea.
