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.

GLACIER PEAKS CASINO NAME WAS DERIVED FROM THE NATIONAL PARK GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. IT IS LOCATED A FEW MILES OUT SIDE OF BROWNING, MT, WHICH IS A REAL INDIAN TOWN, MOSTLY INDIANS AND RANCHERS.
IT WAS WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO TAKE THE “GOING TO THE SUN HIGHWAY” THROUGH GLACIER PARK THAT WE HAD STOPPED TO MAKE A HARVEST AT GLACIER PEAKS. THIS WAS REALLY A TYPICAL INDIAN CASINO. WE GOT FREE T-SHIRTS, NANCY GOT A FREE BUNGI CORD AND WE BOTH GOT PLAYER CARDS. ANY WAY WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR VISIT.
I PLAYED POKER FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS, MADE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PAY FOR MY HARVEST. AND WHILE I WAS PLAYING I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT OF CONVERSATION AMONGST THE PLAYERS AT THE POKER TABLE; THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO WALK OUT OF THE CASINO WITH YOUR POCKETS FULL OF CHIPS. I HAD BEEN WEARING MY HEAVY DUTY CARGO PANTS THAT HAD FOUR FRONT POCKETS AND TWO BACK POCKETS, SO I CAREFULLY POCKETED “LITERALLY’ ONLY A FEW CHIPS LESS THAN 5 IN EACH OF MY MANY POCKETS; THIS MADE IT QUITE UN-NOTICABLE THAT THERE WAS ANY THING IN MY POCKETS. THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED THAT THE OLD SAYING “FOR WARNED IS FOR BEST”. WE LEFT THE CASINO AND HEADED EAST TOWARDS MY OLD HOME TOWN GILDFORD, MT FOR A MARATHON OF VISITING OF THE HOME TOWN FOLKS.
I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS AT THIS CASINO. REGGIE
