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.

Hialeah is in the heart of of the Cuban community in the Miami area. I had heard that they were going transform the old Hialeah Race Track into a Racino about two years ago. I had also heard by calling the officials prior to their “Grand Opening” that they were going to have a Grand Opening chip to commemorate this happening, so we waited a week or two to be able to do a complete harvest.
Miami is only about 2 hours or less from my humble abode here in Bonita Springs, FL. We finally decided to make the trip and turned it into a special happening by taking another couple from our neighborhood.
When we got there it was quite crowded, there was a long line about a quarter of a mile long waiting for free comps of something, it must have been pretty good though. They did a magnificent job on the old building from the 20’s. This was the first greyhound racing park in the U. S. We all went in and Nancy and our friends headed towards the machines and I head upstairs to the one of the newest and most beautiful poker rooms in SW Florida. I gathered the chips I needed from the cashiers cage without any problem. Incidentally, to all harvesters Florida card rooms sell any all chips you need from the cashiers cage. I have made a second trip over there about a year after it opened still no GO chip. Me thinks this never was in the works, and I received bad information from the phone and the people at the card room. BTW when you go there please know English is the second language. I bought enough chips on the second trip. …REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=FLHIHP
