GUEST AUTHORS OF HARVEST STORIES AND THEIR ADVENTURES
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I STARTED ASKING GUEST AUTHORS TO SUBMIT HIS/HER’S HARVEST STORIES. (WHEN I WAS STILL DOING THE POD – PAGE OF THE DAY)
AT THIS WRITING I HAVE 60+ STORIES TO SHARE. I AM HOPING THAT A FEW MORE AUTHORS WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE, AND THESE VERY PROLIFIC “CHIPPERS” WILL COME UP WITH A FEW MORE. I WILL CONTINUE TO RE RUN THESE STORIES THROUGH THE COMING YEAR.
THESE STORIES ARE ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND USUALLY HAVE A BIT OF TONGUE AND CHEEK HUMOR.
IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO SHARE WITH OTHERS, DIFFERENT WAYS OF HARVESTING, THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT WE HAVE FACED OUT THERE WHILE WE WERE HARVESTING.
I ALSO ASK CB POSTERS FOR PERMISSION TO RE RUN THEIR STORIES IF THEY POST IT ON CHIPBOARD.

Sycuan
By:Steve Gobel
Best Non-Smoking Casino! Non-Smokers get to play in a room of their own that is closed off from the smoking part of the casino. The lack of smoke smell is quite noticeable when going from one side to the other. Nothing like the places that have a few machines in a given area designated Non-Smoking, or 1 Table Games pit for Non-Smokers. Yes, it's nice to not be sitting next to a nicotine chimney, but still the smell gets all over you from just being in the same building. Conventional wisdom is that Non-Smoking casinos don't fare well, I'd be curious to see how Sycuan is doing with this large room. My bet would be that people love it. I did!
It was another casino in a construction zone. As you drive up it looks like they're tearing the place down.
I lost my Pai Gow hand. It must have been because I was in the smoking section as there wasn't a Pai Gow table open in Non-Smoking.
Went around to the Poker room in search of $2,3,4,10,20 chips. It finally dawned on me that I should bring up the MOGH Chip Guide on my cell phone to show the cashier what I was looking for. Great for explaining the hobby as most of the cashiers are surprised to find out that there is a data base of every casino's chips, minus the ones we collectors just haven't found yet.
Poker cashier said she didn't have any 2's or other odd goodies. Other cashiers said that she did... I didn't complain as she was nice enough to find me a better $25 than I'd pulled from the table. As she was looking through her racks, she pulled out the 25 year $25
Chip. Did I have/want that chip? No wonder they can build onto the casino. If they can't win the money at the tables, they get suckers like me that walk out with $50+ in chips.
