HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, WELL THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO WRITE, NEVER WAS VERY GOOD AT IT; BUT I HAVE DONE IT OVER THE YEARS JUST THE SAME.
IF ANY OF YOU WANT ANY INSIDE INFORMATION ON ANY CASINO THAT I’VE BEEN TO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

SEAPORT CASINO ARUBA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WHILE ON OUR CRUISE TO CARTAGENA, COLUMBIA AND BACK WE STOPPED AT ARUBA FOR A DAY. WE DID THE TOURIST THING, WALKED AROUND, CHECKED OUT THE VENDORS, AND OF COURSE VISITED ALL THE CASINOS WE COULD.
IN ARUBA THERE ARE ONLY TWO WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE SHIPS; THE CRYSTAL PALACE AND THE SEAPORT CASINO. http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=AWORSC
CRYSTAL PALACE WAS EASY, BUT THERE WAS NOT MUCH NEW TO HARVEST, HOWEVER, NANCY LOVED THE SLOTS AND IT WAS HARD TO GET HER OUT OF THERE.
THE SEAPORT WAS A FAIRLY LONG WALK FROM THERE. WE WALKED THROUGH THE MALL THE CRYSTAL PALACE WAS HOUSED IN AND OUT THE ENTRACE OF A VERY GLITZY HOTEL TO THE STREET. THEN WE WALKED OVER A BRIDGE AND DOWN TO A MARINA WHERE THE SEAPORT CASINO IS HOUSED.
THIS WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ME. WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE SEAPORT CASINO THEY HAD BINGO BEING CALLED, ALL OF THE BLACK JACK TABLES HAD PEOPLE SITTING AT THEM WITH THEIR BINGO CARDS LAID OUT IN FRONT OF THEM. SEVERAL EXTRA CARD TABLES WERE SET UP ALL OVER THE CASINO, ALL SNACK BAR TABLES AND MOST SEATS IN FRONT OF THE SLOTS WERE OCCUPIED BY BINGO PLAYERS. THE PLACE WAS CROWDED. I FINALLY FOUND THE CASHIER, AND BOUGHT 5 $1 CHIPS. I DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE BRAND NEW AT THAT TIME. NO, I DID NOT BUY ENOUGH CHIPS AT THIS CASINO. …REGGIE
