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.

DIAMOND MOUNTAIN CASINO SUSANVILLE, CA
By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
DIAMOND MOUTAIN CASINO IS NORTHWEST OF RENO, NV ON HIGHWAY 395. IT IS PRETTY DESOLATE UP IN THAT AREA, BUT SUSANVILLE IS ON THE EDGE OF THE SIERRAS.
NANCY AND I WERE ON OUR LAST LEG OF OUR MONTH VACATION JUST BEFORE TYING THE KNOT ON AUGUST 5TH 2007. WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD JUST FINISHED MAKING A COUPLE OF PARKING LOTS, EVERY WHERE WAS A CLEAN BLACK TOP. AND I WAS PRETTY SURE THEY HAD A NEW STRUCTURE WHERE THE CASINO WAS BUILT. http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=CASUDM
HERE IS ONE YOU DO NOT RUN INTO EVERY DAY. IT WAS MONDAY AND THEIR POKER ROOM DOES NOT OPEN ON MONDAY’s. WHEN I GOT TO THE BLACKJACK TABLE THEY HAD SILVER TOKES AND FIVE DOLLAR CHIPS. SO, WITH A LITTLE INVESTIGATION, CHIT CHATTING WITH THE DEALERS, I AM INTRODUCED TO THE CASINO MANAGER OF THE DAY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I AM CHIP COLLECTOR AND A CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF THE CLUB, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE COIN AND STAMP CLUBS OF AMERICA. I ALSO, EXPLAINED THAT HIS DOLLAR CHIPS IS ONE OF THE BEST METHODS ADVERTISING OF ADVERTISING HIS CASINO. AND AFTER A LITTLE THOUGHT, HE SAID I HAVE A FEW ERRANDS TO TAKE CARE OF BUT IF YOU GIVE ME ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR, I WILL BE BACK AND HELP YOU OUT. HE DID COME BACK (I SUSPECT HE HAD TO MAKE A CALL OR TWO) AND TOOK ME TO THE MAIN CASHIER, GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS. I ASKED FOR THIRTY ONE DOLLAR CHIPS AND THE CASHIER CHEERFUL COUNTED THEM OUT AND THEN I FED HER TIP JAR. I DID BUY ENOUGH AT THIS CASINO BUT I AM RUNNING LOW. …REGGIE
