A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

AUGUSTINE CASINO COACHELLA, CA

By: Steve Gobel

This is a nice little place out in the Farm Country part of the Coachella Valley. I'd been here before and liked it, but not with my Nevada DL, so I got a new Slot Card. Choice of $10 in Slot Play or a $10 table voucher. I took the $10 voucher to the tables, and alas, no Pai Gow! I'd have to play blackjack. Oh, The Horror! Pushed the first hand, hit my 13 with a 7 against the dealers 10 up, they let the voucher ride, and won the second hand not hitting my 14 with the dealers 3 up! Dealer showed a deuce in the hole and drew 2 10's. Hello! - Back on top of my game again: Win One and Run. For all you big gamblers, not so fun just winning $20 when there might be a streak going, but for cheapskates like me, the discipline of "Never leave a table down, if you are ever up money at it." has kept me going strong in casinos for years. And living in Las Vegas, it's not like I can't find another game 5 miles down the street anytime I want. If I was a gambler, I'd have like to racked up the 50 points for the Metallic Card they were giving out on that day only. Took a few photos of the ad for it for the Card Collectors out there to know that there is something cool and perhaps a bit difficult to obtain, to be on the lookout for.
