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
ISLE OF CAPRI BILOXI, MS
By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
ISLE OF CAPRI IN BILOXI IS NOW THE GOLDEN NUGGET. THIS WAS ABOUT 7-8 YEARS AGO. NANCY AND I WERE OUT IN BILOXI HITTING EVERY CASINO, AND HARVESTING HEAVILY. WHEN WE HIT THE ISLE OF CAPRI, THINGS SORT OF CAME TO A STAND STILL. I HAD TO GET ON WAITING LIST TO GET ON A POKER TABLE. THAT WAS ALRIGHT BECAUSE WE BOTH NEEDED TO GRAB A MEAL AND RELAX A LITTLE.
LATER IN THE EVENING NANCY WADED INTO THE MULTI-LEVEL OF SLOTS, THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO LEVELS (FLOORS) OF SLOTS. THE ISLE WAS JUST RECOVERING FROM KATRINA AND STILL HAD SOME AREAS THAT WERE NOT REPAIRED. SO WITH ALL THIS GOING ON; THE PLACE WAS STILL JUMPING AND WE STILL HAD A GREAT TIME.
EVENTUALLY I GOT A SEAT AT THE POKER TABLE, AS HIND SIGHT IS (20 20) I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE NOT SAT DOWN AT THE POKER TABLE. A FEW BILLS LATER I SLOWLY ROSE OUT OF MY CHAIR WITH SOME CHIPS I HAD STASHED IN MY CARGO PANTS POCKETS AND WATCHED THE FLOP ON MY ALL IN BET. YEAH, YOU GUESSED IT; MY BIG PAIR GOT CRUSHED BY A FLUSH. I GAVE WRY SMILE TO THE GROUP THAT I WAS YUCKING AND LAUGHING WITH A FEW MINUTES BEFORE; AND SAID IT HAS BEEN FUN, BUT I GOTTA GET ON DOWN THE ROAD.
I GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH CHIPS IN THE HARVEST, BUT MOST WERE NOT WORTHY OF MY INVENTORY OR COLLECTION. THAT’S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES SOMETIMES…REGGIE
