HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
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.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

HARRAH’S METROPOLIS, ILLINOIS

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

NANCY AND I WERE ON ONE OF OUR TRIPS TO BATTLE CREEK MICHIGAN TO AL SCALZO’S CHIP SHOW. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST HARVESTING STOP OF THIS TRIP, AND IT WAS WELCOMED HEARTILY BY BOTH OF US AFTER DRIVING MANY HOURS. THE RIVERBOAT THAT HOUSES THIS CASINO WAS AT THE END OF A FEW MILES OF DEPRESSED LOOKING BUILDINGS AND HOMES. EVENTUALLY WE GOT THERE AS IT STARTED RAINING. ONCE WE GOT THERE AND GOT A WHIFF OF THE MUSTY, SMOKY ATMOSPHERE WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID THIS WILL BE A SHORT VISIT.
I WHIRLED IN TO ACTION AND STARTED AT THE CASHIERS CAGE, NOPE ‘YA GOTTA GET DEM CHIPS OFF’N THE TABLES. I THOUGHT WELL I’LL JUST DO THAT. SO I GOT SOME SMALLER BILLS, $5’S AND 10’S AND WENT TO WORK. MEANWHILE, NANCY BUSIED HERSELF PLAYING HER FAVORITE MACHINES. I VAGUELY REMEMBER THIS PLACE BECAUSE WE WERE NOT THERE MORE THAN AN HOUR ALL TOLD. I THINK I WENT TO ALL THREE LEVELS LOOKING AND ASKING FOR WHAT I NEED WHICH ACTUALLY WASN’T THAT MUCH.
AS I REMEMBER, IT TOOK ME LONGER LOOKING FOR AND FINDING NANCY WHEN I HAD ALL THE CHIPS I NEEDED THAN IT TOOK ME TO GET THE CHIPS.
WE LEFT THERE NOT HAVING SPENT MORE THAN AN HOUR. AND YES I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS AND NANCY DID NOT HIT A JACKPOT ON THE KITTY GLITTER MACHINE, LOL…REGGIE
