A Harvest Adventure Story BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
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.
REGGIE
WIN-RIVER CASINO YOU WOULD THINK WOULD BE NESTLED NEAR A CALIFORNIA RIVER SOME WHERE IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOREST. THAT COULD NOT BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. WIN- RIVER IS IN A SLEEPY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY OF REDDING, YOU HAVE TO BE ON YOUR TOES WITH A GPS TO FIND THIS CASINO.
I ARRIVED THERE FAIRLY EARLY IN THE MORNING TO FIND VERY FEW PATRONS, BUT I HAD FOUND A VERY GOOD PARKING PLACE NEAR THE DOOR OF THE CASINO.
AS I WALKED IN I WAS CHECKED OUT SUSPCIOUSLY BY AN UNIFORMED SECURITY GUARD. I PROCEEDED TO THE CAGE TO ASK FOR THE CLAY TREASURES THAT I WANTED, AND WAS TOLD; YOU GET THEM AT THE TABLES, AND ONLY ONE BLACKJACK TABLE WAS OPEN. THAT WAS NOT WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR, BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GET ON DOWN THE ROAD. I SAT DOWN AND BOUGHT $50 WORTH OF CHIPS, AND GOT THE NECESSARY $1’s & $5’s THAT I WANTED. BUT, I NOTICED THEY HAD SOME VERY PRETTY WHITE 50c CHIPS, AND I REQUESTED A TRADE OF 3 ONE DOLLAR CHIPS IN EXCHANGE FOR 6 WHITE 50c CHIPS. AND THE DEALER CALLED THE PIT BOSS AWAY FROM READING HIS MORNING PAPER, I GULPED AND WAITED. PIT BOSS SAID YOU GET THOSE WHEN YOU GET A BLACKJACK, I SAID I HAD NOT GOTTEN A BLACKJACK AND I HAVE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. I JUST KIND OF WAITED HIM OUT AND THEN I SAID HOW ABOUT JUST FOUR YOU WON’T MISS THAT MANY. HE SAID OK, I MADE THE EXCHANGE AND WALKED PAST THAT SECURITY GUARD SMILING AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I GOT ALL THE $1’s AND 5’s I NEEDED BUT DID NOT GET ENOUGH 50c CHIPS…REGGIE
