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.

CAT’S PAW CARDROOM BOZEMAN, MONTANA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

MONTANA IS FAMOUS FOR ITS’ ONE TABLE CARDROOMS. WHEN I FIRST WALKED INTO THIS CARDROOM IT WAS USING SOME WILD BILL HICKOK GENERICS. THE 2ND TIME I WALKED IN THERE THEY HAD THE CURRENT CAT’S PAW CHIPS “GOT THE NUTS” VERSION. THOSE ARE THE COOLEST CHIPS, ALMOST AS COOL AS THE DOC & EDDY’S “COOL CAT”.
THE CHALLENGE CAME WHEN I CAME IN THE SECOND TIME AND ASKED TO BUY SOME CHIPS WHILE I WAITED TO PLAY. IT WAS A DEFINITE NO. BUT, THE YOUNG MAN THAT WAS RUNNING THE GAME WAS APPARENTLY HALF OWNER OF THE CARDROOM. SO WHILE I BLED A SLOW DEATH AND DROPPED 3 BILLS PLAYING POKER I KEPT WORKING ON HIM, GIVING HIM THE SPIEL THAT EACH CHIP IS AN ADVERTISING TOOL, ETC. HE FINALLY SAID SEE ME BEFORE YOU LEAVE I’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO INJECT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE FOUND IN MY LATER TRAVELS TO MONTANA TO BE TRUE. THE AVERAGE POKER PLAYER IN MONTANA IS A LOT BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE POKER PLAYER FROM ALMOST ANY WHERE. “THAT’S MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT…LOL”
ANYWAY WHEN I HAD ENOUGH OF THE MONTANA POKER HOSPITALITY, I GOT UP AND SAID I’M READY TO HEAD OUT. HE SAID WELL HOW MANY CHIPS DO YOU WANT, I SAID WELL I WOULD LIKE 30 $1’S AND 4 $5’S, HE LOOKED AT ME KIND OF FUNNY AND HE SAID, OK YOU PAID YOUR DUES TONIGHT. AND THEN HE COUNTED THEM OUT FOR ME, AND I FLIPPED HIM A $50 BILL. I DID GET ENOUGH THIS TIME.…REGGIE
