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.

THIS HARVEST WAS WHILE I WAS STILL LIVING IN TENNESSEE. NANCY AND I HAD DECIDED ON LONG WEEKEND IN BILOXI-GULFPORT. I HAD HEARD THAT THE SOUTHERN COLLECTORS CLUB WAS MEETING IN GULFPORT AT THE ISLAND VIEW CASINO FOR A TRADING SESSION AND MEETING.
WE HAD RESERVED TWO NIGHTS AT A WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE THE LOCAL FLEA BAG MOTEL ON THE MAIN DRAG INTO GULFPORT JUST OFF THE I-10 INTERSTATE.
AFTER THE MEETING AND TRADE SESSION, NANCY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A TOUR OF AS MANY OF THE CASINOS WE COULD GET TO; AND HARVEST FROM. ONE OF THESE WOULD BE THE BOOMTOWN CASINO IN BILOXI.
THIS WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR ME BECAUSE OF ALL CASINOS I HAVE HARVESTED, I HAVE NEVER BEEN FLEECED AT THE POKER TABLE SO QUICKLY AND SO SMOOTHLY. THESE GUYS WERE VERY EFFICIENT AT THEIR CRAFT. THE TRIP, THE MEETING-TRADE SESSION WERE EXTREMELY PRODUCTIVE. THE POKER TABLE AT THE BOOMTOWN, TOTALLY NEUTRILIZED THE PLUSES OF THE TRIP. WELL, NOT COMPLETELY, IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF BILLS LATER (IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS) I WAS PULLING UP STAKES FROM THE NIGHT LIFE OF BILOXI. I HAD HARVESTED ENOUGH AWAY IN MY PANTS POCKETS, FOR MY TRADE INVENTORY AND COLLECTION AND WAS HAPPY WITH THAT PART. I WAS UPSET AT MYSELF FOR STAYING SO LONG AT A BAD POKER TABLE. NANCY CAME BY AND SAID THESE SLOTS ARE STINGY ARE YOU READY? BOY WAS I, SO WE MADE A VERY QUICK DEPARTURE, BACK TO THE MOTEL FROM HELL, FOR A LITTLE SLEEP AND AN EARLY MORNING DEPARTURE BACK TO TENNESSEE.
ONE THING I DID NOT FIND IS THE CHIPCO LIGHT HOUSE, THEY ARE STILL HARD TO FIND.
I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS FOR MY COLLECTION AND PLENTY OF TRADERS FOR THE FUTURE…REGGIE
