The Riviera (Florida)
Here’s one I don't see on the Chipguide Florida page: The
illegal Riviera that was on one of the Sunny Isles near
Hallandale.
Red chip, 3 light blue inserts, hot-stamped "R" with
an odd hearts-and-squares mold.
The Riviera holds a special place in my memory: it was the
first casino I ever saw! I must have been about 6 years
old and visiting with my grandmother and grandfather, who
took my parents and I from their home in Hollywood to Miami
Beach via A1A. And we passed this creepy boarded-up old
building where the road going down the peninsula was fenced
off with a big chain between posts. My grandparents said
it was a casino that had been owned by gangsters, and it was
now deserted.
The building stood for quite some years (wonder who paid the
property taxes?) but became damaged in various hurricanes,
and by around 1964, I think, it was torn down. Don't
know what's there now as we moved from Florida in 1965.
Around 55 years passed, during which time I forgot the name of the
old casino, but eventually I took an interest in collecting
chips and decided to research it. "Riviera" it
was, same name but presumably not ownership, as another
Riviera Hotel in Miami Beach.
And when this chip came up on eBay, I decided to bid on it – and won!
A "red" chip would today be a $5 gaming piece, but I
don't know how it was played in the old days.

- don't know if this counts as a "harvesting
story" but you are welcome to use it if you
wish.

THE NEW CYCLE
AKA THE NEW GROUPINGS
OF THE PAGE OF THE DAY
Starting approximately June 30th I am initiating a new format of the Page of the Day.
Here is what I have come up with. To make things easier on this “ole man” I am going to group 4-6 pages together for a giant POD. Also, rather than displaying a page every single day, I will display the group of pages every so often. I am not sure how often at this point. One thing I am fairly sure of, is that; Saturday will be one of the days I will probably do a post. The week days I am not sure of now, I will be experimenting a lot in the beginning.
If I see you at the show in LV, I will try to explain it a little more thoroughly. Thanks for listening, Reggie…
ANGLE SHOOTERS, CHISLERS, LOW BALLERS & etc
You have experienced them in the cardrooms, please let me explain how they apply to our hobby.
First and foremost, let me make this perfectly clear that this does not apply to .99&44/100% of us. But, if you want to know who the shoe fits……then read this:
There seems to be a very small amount of chip collectors from time to time visit us on our blog boards and conventions, that just cannot shoot straight. But if they get hurt in some transaction or something happens to them during a transaction that is not right in their estimation then they cry “foul”. You know who you are.
I have had a few of these types, attempt various things over the years to me, and many of my friends and customers. I think something needs to be done to help prevent these actions from happening; but I fall short of creating black lists or airing dirty laundry in public. I am always available for any kind of discussion, with like- minded “chippers”.
The best part of being a member of the CC-GTCC is that it narrows these types down to .99&88/100%. One thing; I do, do is save emails as a CYA policy. Also, I try to re-write any response to any actions of any scenarios, I find myself in; several times during a 24 hour period of time, instead of firing off a knee-jerk reaction. Be advised that I do trade & sell to many non-members, but sometimes it takes a while to gain trust with non-members and vice-versa.
One big problem has always been the USPS. There always seems to be a different set of circumstances that surround each “lost shipment”. What to do? Does the shipper or customer take the hit, or both? This seems to be the way some collectors acquire their chips, have you noticed?
And my biggest question: do we have on file somewhere procedures to follow in these circumstances? If not, is it about time? And lastly; should I just delete this last question? And stay out of this problem. And handle these things as they develop one at a time. Your thoughts on the matter would be highly appreciated. Sincerely; Reggie…
