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

WILDHORSE RESORT & CASINO PENDLETON, OR

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WILDHORSE RESORT AND CASINO ARE NOT IN GREATER PENDLETON. MORE SO, THEY ARE ABOUT 5-10 MILES OUT OF THE CITY ITSELF.
MY FIRST AND ONLY VISIT, I ARRIVED THERE DURING A SPECIAL JAMBOREE FESTIVAL. DO NOT REMEMBER THE ACTUAL NAME, BUT AM PRETTY SURE IT WASN’T ONE OF THEIR ROUND UP DAYS WHEN THEY MADE THE SPECIAL CHIPS FOR THE KNOWN PLAYERS OF THEIR TOURNAMENT.
WHEN I DROVE IN WITH MY BURGANDY EDDIE BAUER EDITION OF THE FAIRLY NEW FORD EXPEDITION, IT FIT IN PRETTY GOOD WITH ALL THE LARGE TRUCKS, RV’S AND SUV’S PARKED WITH THEIR TENTS, TRAILERS ETC.
I ALSO REALIZED WHILE DRIVING IN, IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO HARVEST OR OBTAIN ANY CHIPS. I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT, THE BRUSH BOARD WAS LONG, BUT I NEEDED TO EAT, AND LOOK AROUND AND PURCHASE OTHER SOUVENIERS OF MY VISIT TO THE FAMOUS WILDHORSE CASINO.
EVENTUALLY, I GOT ON A TABLE, AND IT WAS THE USUAL INDIAN CASINO GAME OF HOLDEM, WILD AS HECK. I WAS NOT DOING TO WELL ON THE TABLE, AND THE ROAD TO WALLA WALLA WAS CALLING ME, SO I COUNTED OUT MY CHIPS TO THE CASHIER AND KEPT WHAT I NEEDED AND HIT THE ROAD.
I DID INDEED GET ENOUGH OF THE CHIPS I NEEDED, LESS OF COURSE, THE SPECIAL $5 ROUND-UP CHIPS WITH POKER PLAYERS PICTURES ON THEM…REGGIE
