HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES; YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I WAS NEVER 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 CAN.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

ELLIS ISLAND LAS VEGAS, NV

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

ELLIS ISLAND IS AN OFF THE STRIP CASINO. SMALL AND CONNECTED TO A MOTEL, I CAN NOT RECALL THE NAME OF THE MOTEL AT THIS TIME. SHORTLY AFTER THE 2012 CHIP OF THE YEAR (IN 2013) WAS AWARDED TO ELLIS ISLAND, NANCY AND I TOOK A LITTLE SIDE TRIP OVER TO CHECK THIS CASINO OUT. WE HAD HEARD THEIR BARBEQUE RIBS WERE TO DIE FOR.
WHEN WE GOT THERE, NOTICING THAT THE CASINO WAS VERY SMALL AND EVERYONE IN IT KNEW WHAT EVERYONE ELSE WAS DOING, WHILE THEY WERE DOING IT. VERY INTIMATE INDEED. I SAUNTERED UP TO THE CASHIER, AND ASKED ABOUT THE 2012 4TH OF JULY CHIP, SHE SAID YEAH WE GOT THEM, BUT YOU STAND A BETTER CHANCE OF FINDING THEM ON THE FLOOR, MEANING THE BLACK JACK TABLES, CRAPS OR ROULETTE TABLE.
SO I TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND ASKED THE CRAPS STICKMAN AND DEALER. WELL THEY SEEMED LIKE SOME FUN GUYS AND WE KIDDED AROUND A BIT AND THEN THEY SAID WHICH ONE WAS THAT AND WE THEN IDENTIFIED IT, AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT; WE HAD THE PIT BOSS, THE ROULETTE DEALER, AND THE ONLY BLACK JACK DEALER GOING THROUGH THEIR RACKS VERY CAREFULLY, MAKING SURE THAT EYE IN THE SKY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING; LOOKING FOR THE “CHIP”. I AM SURE THE PIT BOSS CALLED UP STAIRS TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, ANY WAY WE WHEN WE LEFT WE HAD SOME WHERE BETWEEN 10 AND 15 OF THOSE VERY COOL CHIPS. AND YES, I DID TIP THEM ALL A LITTLE BIT, NOT A LOT BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM LOOKING AND HELPING. I DID NOT TIP THE CASHIER, ‘CUZ SHE WAS ABOVE IT ALL…THE ANSWER TO; DID I GET ENOUGH, IS YES.
WE RAN OUT OF TIME, NEVER DID GET ANY OF THOSE DELICIOUS RIBS…REGGIE
