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

SOUTHLAND PARK WEST MEMPHIS, AR

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

SOUTHLAND PARK IS A GREYHOUND RACING FACILTY, A RACINO. IT IS A FEW MILES FROM BRIDGE THAT CROSSES INTO MEMPHIS, TN.
ONCE AGAIN NANCY AND I ARRIVED IN THE MIDST OF A SOUTHERN RAIN SQUALL. WE WERE COMING FROM HOT SPRINGS, AR AND A UNSCUCCESSFUL HARVEST AT OAKLAWN RACING. I MENTIONED THIS IN THE OAKLAWN HARVEST STORY.
SOUTHLAND IS A RATHER LARGE RACINO. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO BUY THE NEEDED CHIPS, I WAS SENT UP STAIRS TO THE POKER ROOM, WHICH WAS NOT OPERATING. THEN I REALIZED IT IS ALL LIGHTNING POKER (ELECTRONIC). WELL, ON TO PLAN B THE BLACK JACK TABLES. I THEN COUNSELLED WITH A FRIENDLY LOOKING PIT BOSS, TOLD HIM MY STORY, HE WAS VERY QUICK, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WANTED. HE SAYS, I SEE ONE “YOU GUYS” ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS, I HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT ON THE TABLES TODAY. HE HAD 22 $1 CHIPS WITH DIFFERENT INSERTS THAN THE RACK ON THE TABLES, ALL UNCIRCULATED. I BOUGHT THEM ALL, TODAY I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WERE THE BEGINNING OF A SECOND SERIES OR A BACK UP RACK THAT GOT OUT BY ACCIDENT. I BOUGHT ENOUGH OF THE NEW ONES THIS TIME.
FINDING NEW CHIPS UNEXPECTEDLY IS LIKE CATCHING THE GOLDEN RING ON THE MERRY-GO-AROUND. …REGGIE
