In the last week of May 2016, an inquiry appeared on the Chip Board regarding the Choctaw Casino in McAlester, Oklahoma. A request was made for a chip from their tables.
As one who does not care for slots, and who has made the trip between Dallas and points in Missouri on a pretty regular basis over the last several years, I have had occasion to look in on the numerous Choctaw Casino locations that populate the sides of US Highway 69 through Oklahoma. I recalled that the last time I stopped, none of them had table games except their main location in Durant. However, the member directed me to their website, which indicates that the McAlester location does have table games.
On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, having offered to pick up chips for other collectors, which resulted in about half a dozen requests for one or more chips from the place, I drove the two and a half hours to McAlester with my wife and sister for company. Along the way we passed by the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, with its multi-storey hotel, blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, poker variants, and slots, where we would normally stop. However, our destination was another 75 miles farther up the highway. Between Durant and McAlester are also several truck stop locations equipped with electronic slots operating under the Choctaw Casino umbrella. As we approached McAlester, we finally entered the address into the GPS – my sister on her phone, I on my Magellan. Both agreed that the casino was about five minutes farther north than it actually is. Do not let yours fool you: the McAlester Choctaw Casino is actually located on the South end of town, where Business US69 splits off from US69, on the northbound side of the highway.
Because we could find no address numbers on the building, my sister ran inside to make certain that we had found the right place, that this wasn’t just another satellite location. She came back out and reported that this was it, that they have a couple of tables that open at 4:00 against the back wall, and that she was assured the next nearest casino of any kind is about 30 miles away. I parked and we all went in to register for cards and have a bit of fun. We learned that, in addition to two blackjack tables, they have one three-card poker table, which opens at 5:30. There are, of course, also a mess of electronic slots.
I went immediately to the blackjack table, which had opened about fifteen minutes prior to our arrival, and told the dealer and pit boss that I am a collector of chips, a member of a chip collectors’ club, and that we had no information about the chips in use at this casino. I said I would want first to buy a $500 chip to take aside and document, then return to break it up first into chips to bring home for distribution among several collectors, and then chips to actually play at the table. I told them that when last I visited, they didn’t have table games. The pit boss said that they have had the tables for maybe eight or nine years. I realized then that the last time I had been there was on the drive to Sarcoxie, Missouri, in January 2006, for my uncle’s funeral. Ten years ago.
They thought it was cool that there is such a thing as chip collectors, and I showed them on my phone pictures of some of the chips in my collection. I also opened the ChipGuide, and showed them that the only information we had on McAlester was a TITO. At this point, the pit boss said, "Perhaps I should warn you, though, that we use chips from Durant.”
Poof! That sucked the wind out of my sails! What? I didn't think that was even allowed! Chips are supposed to name the casino and location where they are used! I pulled up the ChipGuide on the phone again, went to the Choctaw Durant page, and showed him the chips catalogued there. He pointed at the wave chips, those of designs listed as CG018453 and similar. “That’s what we use. They even still say Durant on them, not McAlester.” These chips are three generations behind the Game On chips in current use at Durant. The only exception is the $500 chip. They use the same chip that is currently in use down the highway, leading us to believe that there was never a purple wave design chip.
On the bright side, we discovered that the $100 wave chip had not yet been photographed and posted to the Durant page. The dealer looked through the rack and came up with one of their better condition blacks, which I purchased and photographed down near the soda dispenser. Sadly, because they are using these ancient chips, even the best looks shabby.
Well, I e-mailed everyone who had asked for chips, advising them that there were no unknown new chips here, and that I would not get any or hold anyone to their prior requests, unless they got back in touch and said to get them anyway. Just to be sure, I bought a handful of chips to bring to Vegas for anyone who might not have the old (and formerly hard to get) Durant chips yet. It never hurts to have trading goods.
I also left the table about $40 ahead.

This is a chip I would like to acquire through trade or purchase please email if you have one available or know someone who has one available. Even if you do not have the denomination or mold shown, you should know that it is possible that I may need other denominations or molds from this casino. Please email me with any items that you would like to sell or trade. Please make your request for trade and the price you would like for this item. Thanks, Reggie

NANCY AND I BOOKED A CRUISE ON THE NORWEGIAN SUN IN OCTOBER OF 2013. IT WAS SO CHEAP WE JUST COULD NOT STAY AT HOME. ELEVEN DAYS FOR $379 + PORT CHARGES. THE CRUISE TOOK US TO SOUTH AMERICA AND BACK WITH SEVERAL PORT OF CALLS. TRANSLATED, SEVERAL HARVESTS ON ISLANDS THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN, NAMELY ARUBA AND CURACAO.
THE SUN HAD A NICE CASINO AND THERE WAS A POKER GAME EVERY NIGHT. I DID PRETTY WELL THE FIRST 4 OR 5 NIGHTS, BUT THE TRAVELING AND GOING ASHORE TO DO THE HARVESTS FINALLY TOOK ITS’ TOLL ON ME. AFTER LOSING BACK WHAT I WON EARLY IN THE TRIP I GAVE IT UP FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS OR SO.
I HARVESTED QUITE WELL IN ARUBA AND CURACAO, BROUGHT BACK SOME NEW ONES FROMTHE SEAPORT IN ARUBA, AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE NEW. ALSO IN ARUBA, WE WERE THERE ON SUNDAY AND THE H/D STORE WAS CLOSED, THAT WAS A DIS-APPOINTMENT. HAD A DAY SHIFTMANAGER GO INTO THE VAULT AT CURACAO PLAZA CASINO AND DIG OUT SOME OLD STUFF IN CURACAO, INCLUDING SOME SCROLL MOLDS.
ON THE SHIP I HARVESTED THE NORMAL STUFF, AND ON ST THOMAS I BROUGHT BACK SOME HARLEY DAVIDSON CHIPS, THEY WENT FAST. NOTHING NEW IN SAINT MAARTEN AND I DID NOT TRY TO GET ANYTHING CARTAGENA COLUMBIA, NOT ENOUGH TIME NOR OPPORTUNITY.
THERE ARE MANY ITEMS I DID NOT GET ENOUGH OF, AND MANY THAT I STILL HAVE IN MY INVENTORY …REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=WTXXNS

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

PICK SIX
Here are a few words about my “Pick Sixes”. There is no rhyme or reason how and when I pick them.
To me they are fun to do.
Sometimes they are below my cost, often times I do it just because I can; and I want to give back a “little sumpin, sumpin” to the customers that are paying attention and reading the Chip Board posts.
It doesn’t take me long to create a “Pick Six”. And most folks know that I use my “Page of the Day” postage and handling rates for shipping.
Here are a few bullet points for you folks to look for in the descriptions of the six chips that are presented:
• See any of the past or current “Pages of the Day” for postage/handling rates
• Only one of each available at this price
• FACE VALUE
• Special Offering
• Let’s Trade
This is a fun hobby, and this is one of the ways I try to help keep it fun… Reggie
Page #7 Face Value
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
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
