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

BOOMTOWN CASINO HARVEY, LA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

”ON A RAINY NIGHT IN LOUISIANA” YOU MAY REMEMBER MY STORY ABOUT THE TREASURE CHEST CASINO IN KENNER, LA. IF YOU DO THEN YOU MAY RECALL WE WERE HEADED TO HARVEY, LOUISIANA FROM THERE. (ACTUALLY WE MEANT TO STOP AT HARRAH’S IN NEW ORLEANS, BUT IT WAS RAINING TOO HARD) AFTER WE MADE IT ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO HARVEY AND CHECKED IN TO OUR MOTEL WE NOTICED THAT RAIN WAS SUBSIDING A LITTLE. BTW EVEN THOUGH THIS CASINO IS IN HARVEY, LA THE CHIP GUIDE HAS IT DOWN AS BOOMTOWN CASINO NEW ORLEANS. IT WAS A FEW HOURS BEFORE OUR DINNER TIME, SO WE DECIDE TO DRIVE OVER TO THE BOOMTOWN CASINO, AND GAMBLE A LITTLE BEFORE HAVING OUR EVENING MEAL; WHEN WE GOT THERE WE FOUND A GREAT PARKING SPOT VERY CLOSE TO THE CASINO ENTRANCE. INSIDE WE FOUND A VERY OPULENT AND LUXURIOUSLY DECORATED CASINO. SO I HEADED UPSTAIRS TO THE POKER ROOM AND NANCY HEADED FOR HER FAVORITE SLOTS. THE POKER ROOM WAS ON THE SECOND FLOOR WITH WINDOWS SO YOU COULD LOOK OUT ACROSS THE CASINO.
I WAS NOT DOING VERY GOOD AT HOLDEM, OTHER THAN DOING MY HARVEST. SO, WHEN NANCY CAME UP TO CHECK ON ME AND ASK IF I WAS HUNGRY YET, I SAID YES. WE THEN WENT LOOKING FOR A RESTAURANT, AND WERE TOLD BY A CONCIERGE THAT THEY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST AND ONE OF THE CHEAPEST THAT WE WILL FIND IN THIS AREA. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT, BUT IT WAS EVER BIT AS GOOD THE YOUNG LADY SAID IT WOULD BE. THE CHEF CAME OUT AND TALKED TO US…A COUPLE OF TIMES; IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. WE BOTH HAD THE “RED SNAPPER” THIS IS THE GULF OF MEXICO RED SNAPPER, NOT THE WEST COAST VARIETY.
WE LEFT BOOMTOWN CASINO IN HARVEY; FULL AND GLAD WE CAME TO THIS VERY FINE CASINO. I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS FOR MY TRADERS AND COLLECTION…REGGIE
