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.

BEAUTIFUL MISSOULA MONTANA, IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND PARADISE FALLS CASINO. INSIDE OF THE CASINO YOU WILL FIND A SMALL POKER ROOM, THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK A SMALL BANQUET ROOM FOR FAMILIES WISHING TO HAVE THEIR OWN DINING ROOM, AND CONVERTED IT TO A POKER ROOM.
WHEN I ARRIVED AT THIS LOCATION IN MISSOULA, THERE WAS A YOUNGER LOOKING MAN COUNTING THE CHIPS, THAT I GUESSED WERE THE RACK FOR THE POKER GAMES. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE CHIPS AND WHAT DENOMINATIONS HE USED. HE TOOK THE QUARTER, DOLLAR AND FIVE DOLLAR CHIPS AND LAID THEM ON THE POKER TABLE FOR ME TO INSPECT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS EASY ENOUGH AND ASKED IF I COULD BUY SOME FOR MY COLLECTION. HE SAID I DON’T SEE WHY NOT…SO I THOUGHT A MINUTE AND ASKED HOW ABOUT 4 $5’S 25 $1’S AND 10 $25c CHIPS? HE SAID WELL, I AM OK WITH THE 1’S AND 5’S BUT I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU MAYBE FOUR 25c CHIPS, I NEED THEM FOR THE ANTE’S. I DID NOT WANT TO LOOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HARVEST THE ONES AND FIVES SO I SAID, I UNDERSTAND AND I WILL TAKE AS MANY AS YOU CAN AFFORD (OF THE 25centers) AND HE SAID HOW ABOUT 6 OF THEM THAT SEEMED QUITE DOABLE FLIPPED HIM A $50 DOLLAR BILL AND HE COUNTED OUT MY CHANGE AND I LEFT A COUPLE OF BUCKS ON THE POKER TABLE AND EXITED QUIETLY.
WHAT A GREAT HARVEST AND IT COULD NOT GONE ANY SMOOTHER. I DID NOT GET ENOUGH OF THE 25c CHIPS BUT I GOT ENOUGH OF THE ONES & FIVES.
