HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

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.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

CASINO FANDANGO CARSON CITY, NV

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

CASINO FANDANGO IS LOCATED CONVENIENTLY ALONG SIDE HIGHWAY 395. IT IS ON THE SOUTH END OF CARSON CITY BEFORE YOU TURN OFF TO LAKE TAHOE, JUST IN CASE YOU NEED A TRAVEL BREAK BEFORE CLIMBING THE BIG HILL IN THE TAHOE AREA.
I HAVE BEEN IN THIS CASINO SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT. BACK ABOUT 10-12 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A REGULAR $1 HOUSE CHIP WITH THE FISH (TOON), WITH MOSTLY WHITE IN THE INLAY. AROUND THIS TIME MAYBE, A COUPLE YEARS PRIOR THEY DUMPED ANOTHER VERY SIMILAR CHIP IN WITH THE HOUSE CHIP. EXCEPT, IT WAS RED IN THE INLAY. FOR A WHILE THIS WAS A HOT ITEM.
WHEN I WENT IN THERE, THE PLACE WAS EMPTY, MAYBE A FEW PATRONS, BUT EVERYONE WAS BORED. THIS WAS EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON, NAP TIME…I TALKED TO THE PIT BOSS WHO WAS HANGING OUT AROUND THE CRAP TABLE. HE SAID YEAH, THERE ARE STILL SOME OF THE “RED FISH” LURKING AMONGST THE STACKS ON THE CRAP TABLE AND THE BLACK JACK TABLES. I AM NOT SURE IF HE CALLED UP STAIRS TO THE “EYE IN THE SKY”, BUT ANY WAY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE STICK WENT TO WORK ON EACH SIDE OF THE STACKS OF CHIPS ON THE CRAP TABLE. AND BEFORE THEY GOT THROUGH THE STACKS THEY HAD FOUND MORE THAN THE 20 CHIPS I HAD ASKED FOR. SO WE LOOKED FOR A FEW OF THE LE’S I WAS MISSING AND FOUND A FEW OF THEM TOO.
I WAS HAPPY AND TIPPED THE TWO EMPLOYEES, BUT THE PIT BOSS TURNED ME DOWN, GUESS SOME PLACES HAVE POLICIES ABOUT ACCEPTING TIPS.
I DID GET ENOUGH OF THE CHIPS I WAS LOOKING TO FIND. THIS WAS A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL HARVEST FOR ME. THANKS TO A VERY COOL PIT BOSS…REGGIE
