A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

Southern California Indian Casinos

By Steve Gobel


I had been on vacation visiting family in San Diego, driving back to Las Vegas. I decided it would be fun in the middle of the night to try to hit all of the Indian casinos along the way. It wasn't planned, it was a spur of the moment thing once I was on the road. I'd left at 7pm. So I got on my cell phone (while driving alone, Bad idea...) and tried to find casinos and maps to them. I found one that I'd not yet passed. Off the freeway up in the hills on a two lane "road". Took a wrong turn somewhere and got totally lost. An hour later I'm finally back to the freeway. A few miles, and Oh! that's the turn off I was supposed to take. Back to the hills. By this time it was well after 9pm or so and it was getting foggy on the road. Soon I'm doing 5 to10 mph and wondering if they'll ever find my car (and body) at the bottom of the ravine, as my family didn't know I was going to be taking side trips. After forever, the fog becomes brighter, the parking lot lights of the Casino have been found! Can't remember this many years later which of the casinos it was.
I'd never really been out just to harvest, and was surprised/annoyed that they would not sell chips from the cage. I had all of $20 on me and did not want to gamble. I just wanted a $1 and a $5. But, I did not want to disappear back into the fog bank empty handed. Cheapest Blackjack table was $5. Sat down. Won a hand. Bit by the bug, instead of running away with my "free" chip, I played it. Blackjack! A snapper is now mine. Played a few more hands and gained several more $5 chips. Asked the dealer to change a $5 for $1's so I could tip him. Gave him two and walked with three. [Yes, I'm a Beap Chastard.] Back to the cage, same lady who wouldn't sell to me. Cashed in $30 on my $20 buy-in and kept the rest. She knew she should have sold me the chips...
Fog didn't seem so bad on the way out. I hit the freeway, this time after doing more research on my phone prior to leaving the parking lot, so as not to be a menace on the road. I stopped at 3 other casinos on the rest of the trip. 2 of them also required play and my luck held out, leaving with free chips and a few extra dollars in cash from each. It was almost a disappointment when the other one sold me the chips from the cage! Made them seem expensive somehow, even using my winnings from the other places. And I'd had to stop and put an extra $20 in gas in my tank for all of the side trips. At 5:30 a.m. I realized that I was still a 3+ hour drive from home and I'd better get going before sleepiness made me more of a menace on the road than cell phone surfing. Most fun I'd had in a long time, and every time I flip through my collection, seeing those chips still brings a smile to my face.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

TOPAZ LODGE GARDNERVILLE, NV

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

THE TOPAZ LODGE SITS UP ON A FOOT HILL OVERLOOKING THE TOPAZ LAKE, WHICH IS A BREATAKING VIEW. THEY USED GARDNERVILLE, NV AS THEIR MAIL ADDRESS, BUT THE LOCATION IS ACTUALLY TOPAZ LAKE, NV.
THIS CASINO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PIT STOP FOR ME WHEN TRAVELING THE 395 HIGHWAY. I USED THIS HIGHWAY FREQUENTLY WHILE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA. I LIKED THE LAID BACK ATOMOSPHERE OF THE CASINO, AND I USUALLY WON A FEW BUCKS ON THEIR BLACK JACK TABLE. CARD COUNTERS SUCH AS MYSELF, WELL; WE JUST CAN’T HELP OURSELVES WHEN WE SEE A SINGLE OR DOUBLE DECK BLACK JACK TABLE AND NO ONE PLAYING. WINK WINK.
TRUTHFULLY, OVER THE YEARS OF 1990 TO 2006 I DID NOT NEED TOO MANY CHIPS. SO THE HARVESTS AT THE TOPAZ LODGE WERE ALWAYS SMALL.
I REMEMBER ONE TIME I STOPPED THERE AND THE PLACE HAD ALMOST BURNED TO THE GROUND. NOT QUITE TO THE GROUND, SOME OF THE WALLS WERE STILL STANDING. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE DATE OF THIS UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE, BUT IT DID RESULT IN A NEW RACK OF CHIPS ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER WHEN THEY REBUILT.
THE NICE THING ABOUT THE TOPAZ WAS IT WAS EASY TO HARVEST, AND OFTEN IT WAS FINANCIALLY PROFITABLE. I ALWAYS GOT ENOUGH CHIPS, THAT IS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I STOPPED BY…REGGIE

A PAIR TO DRAW TO

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

MY COLLECTION LIBRARY WEB SITE

HOME OF 4500 TRADERS

Starting in January 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
