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.

NORTH OF SPOKANE, WASHINGTON THERE IS A SMALL CASINO CALLED CHEWELAH. ON MY LAST TRIP TO SPOKANE TWO YEARS AGO, NANCY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VERY SCENIC RIDE UP THERE AND DO SOME HARVESTING.
NANCY WELCOMED THE BREAK WHEN GOT THERE AND WENT STRAIGHT TO HER FAVORITE MACHINE.
TWO THINGS WERE VERY INTERESTING TO ME WHEN WE FINALLY GOT UP THERE. THE FIRST THING WAS ONE OF THE DEALERS HAD BEEN AROUND THE DEALING CIRCUIT OF SPOKANE, SO HE KNEW ABOUT OR HAD DEALED IN MOST EVERY CLUB OVER THE LAST 15-20 YEARS. WE HAD PLENTY TIME TO BEND AN EAR AND LISTEN TO HIM, ALSO HE SEEMED TO HAVE SENIORITY IN THE GROUP OF DEALERS ON DUTY. AFTER EXPLAINING TO HIM WHAT WE NEEDED; IN THIS CASE IT WAS 50c CHIPS AND ONE DOLLAR CHIPS, HE TOTALLY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD WHEN (2ND THING) HE CALLED OVER THE CASINO MANAGER AND SAID TO HIM, I TOTALLY FORGOT THE NAMES SO WE WILL USE “JOE”, JOE DON’T WE STILL HAVE SOME NEW UNCIRCULATED CHIPS IN THE VAULT? JOE SAID LET ME CHECK, AND PROMPTLY WENT INTO THE CAGE AND OUT OF SIGHT, ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATER, AFTER A PHONE CALL OR TWO AND SOME PAPER WORK HE RE-APPEARD WITH 10 – 50c AND 20 - $1 BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW CHIPS. I TIPPED THE DEALER AND TRIED TO TIP JOE BUT HE WOULD NOT HAVE IT…WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I DID BUY ENOUGH THIS TIME. …REGGIE
