And now for the sad news. The Casino Morongo chips at the little Casino Morongo (former bowling alley) are no more. The cashier told me that people were taking them from the little casino to the big one up the hill and trying to play them. While I could not see any harm in that, apparently it confused the Indians. And you don't want confused Indians running about! So Casino Morongo got racks of the "regular" Morongo Casino chips, pulled all the Casino Morongo series after less than a year on the tables, and destroyed them all. As the Romans would say, "Caveat Morongoderos." The upside of this, if it can be so declared, is that I got fed up trying to explain the difference between Casino Morongo and Morongo Casino. Now I don't have to. The Casino Morongo players cards are still valid.
