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

HOLLAND CASINO AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

THIS WOULD BE THE LAST TIME I WOULD BE ABLE TO HARVEST IN THE NETHERLANDS, OR NOT; I REALIZED HOW HARD IT IS TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY ON MY LAST TRIP.
MY GRAND KIDS LIVE THERE AND THEY WOULD BE OF TRAVEL AGE SOON, AND I WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY BE ABLE TO VISIT THEM WHEN THEY CAME OVER HERE.
WHILE STAYING IN AMSTERDAM IT IS ALWAYS A TREAT TO GO TO THE HARD ROCK (NO GAMBLING) AND THE HOLLAND CASINO. THIS TRIP WE STAYED AT THE MARRIOT, AND IT WAS RIGHT ACROSS THE CANAL FROM THESE ESTABLISHMENTS.
HARVESTING IS EASY AT THE HOLLAND CASINO, THEY HAVE A 2 OR 3 LEVELS WITH SEVERAL CASHIERS AVAILABLE. YOU DO HAVE TO PAY TO GET INTO THE CASINO, ABOUT $5 AMERICAN DOLLARS. THE POKER ROOM IS FAIRLY SMALL BUT EXTREMELY BUSY. AND THEY HAVE ALL THE TABLE GAMES, SOME TIMES IT IS SO CROWDED YOU HAVE TO STAND BEHIND AND BET ON A SEATED PLAYERS HAND, LIKE THE OLD DAYS AT ATLANTIC CITY. THIS VISIT I PLAYED POKER AND DID FAIRLY WELL; SORTED OUT THE CHIPS I NEEDED WHILE PLAYING AND WAITED FOR NANCY TO GET TIRED OR BROKE. I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS THIS TIME, BECAUSE I DO NOT COLLECT EURO CHIPS ANY MORE.
THIS WAS ON OUR CROSS ATLANTIC ADVENTURE, 5 WEEKS OF CRUISING, TOURING EUROPE AND VISITING GRAND CHILDREN.…REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=N3XXH1
