A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

The Mint Porterville, CA

By James Eric Freedner

The Mint was a California cardroom that I found still had an active license and address in Porterville in 2009, so on my next travels to the central valley, I made a point of detouring to West Morton Avenue near downtown Porterville. But when I got there, I could not find it. (The cardroom, not Porterville; this is not a Twilight Zone episode.)
A year passed and I gained information on a new address for the Mint, so back I went to Porterville, this time to find: a residential house, garage open, somebody inside but obviously not playing poker. I left without stopping.
Yet another year, and this time I saw that The Mint was now listed in the state records as being on West Olive Avenue. Too crazy! Another journey out there -- and this time I found it -- a cardroom in a small strip mall. Going inside, I saw just two tables, card players at only one. But there was a cage staffed by an elderly gentleman who I took to be James Podergois, shown on state records as the owner.
I asked him if I could please buy some chips, and he looked rather sadly at me and said, "Today I'm giving out free chips." And he rummaged around and handed me a few green $1 chips, a couple of red fives, and to my surprise, a black $100 chip, with this admonition: "Don't ever come back here and try to cash these in."
I replied, "'Cuz that would be cheating. And I don't cheat!"
At which a broad smile crossed the man's face as he said, "You got it!!"
A year later, I drove back to Porterville - but the cardroom was gone, never to re-open. I will always treasure those chips, and the courtesy of an elderly casino owner on obvious hard times.
For the background of The Mint and its legal troubles with the Tule River Indian Tribe, you may see this internet posting:

The Rise and Fall of Tribal Administrator Rodney Martin ...
By Carolyn Yeager Here is the story, as best I can put it together from the record of the Porterville Recorder, of Rodney Martin’s career with the Tule River Indian...

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

MOUNTAINEER CASINO CHESTER, WV

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

AFTER TRAVELING UP TO PENNSYLVANIA FROM TENNESSEE, THE SECOND PART OF OUR TRIP WAS UP THROUGH WEST VIRGINIA. CHESTER, WV IS UP IN THE UPPER NECK OF WV.
THE MOUNTAINEER IS A VERY NICE AND NEW AT THE TIME WE VISITED IT. WE ALSO HAD PRE BOOKED A ROOM FOR AN OVERNIGHTER. AFTER I DID MY HARVEST I DECIDED TO PLAY A LITTLE POKER, GUESS WHAT; THE POKER ROOM WAS A MILE AWAY IN THE GRAND STAND OF THE TRACK. RECENTLY I HEARD THEY FINALLY HAVE BUILT A POKER ROOM IN THE MAIN PART OF THE CASINO. THAT WAS A HASSLE CATCHING THE SHUTTLE OVER AND BACK.
WEST VIRGINIA HAS SOME FUNNY RULES AND A VIGIL GAMING COMMISSION. THEY HAVE OFFICIALS IN UNIFORM CIRCULATING AROUND THE CASINO DAY AND NIGHT. ONE THING I THOUGHT WAS A LITTLE OVER THE TOP, IS THAT ALL OF THEIR GAMING IS FENCED IN ON THE INSIDE OF THE CASINO BUILDING WITH SECURITY PEOPLE AT EACH ENTRANCE/EXIT. WITH RESTAURANTS, BARS ETC ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAMING AREA.
MY JOB AT THIS PARTICULAR CASINO WAS TO HARVEST THEIR SNAPPER, THEY HAD BEEN OPEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITHOUT A SNAPPER AND IT HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE TABLE A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN I GOT THERE. THIS REQUIRED BREAKING INTO A BLACK JACK GAME THROUGH THE OK OF A PIT BOSS. THEY HAD TWO PITS OF BLACK JACK SO I GOT 10 FROM EACH PIT, AND ASK NANCY TO GRAB ANOTHER 4. NO I DID NOT BUY ENOUGH SNAPPERS…REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=WVCHMO

A PAIR TO DRAW TO

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

POST CARDS FROM NEVADA

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING POST CARDS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND HAVE SOME PRETTY COOL ONES. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A NICE THING TO DO; SHARING THEM. NOT QUITE READY TO START SELLING THEM. ( THERE ARE VERY FEW THAT I HAVE DUPLICATES THEY ARE FOR SALE AND WILL HAVE A PRICE ALONG WITH THEIR TITLES). THAT BEING SAID; SHOULD YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES THAT IS NOT PRICED, FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME AN HONEST OFFER.…REGGIE

SET OF THE DAY

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
