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.

THIS IS TRULY A CASE OF “YOU CAN’T GET THERE FROM HERE”. WHILE ON OUR OREGON COAST TRIP WITH OUR NEW RV, I DECIDED TO GO INLAND TO A PLACE CALLED KAH-NEE-TA AND THEN DOWN TO CRATER LAKE. http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=ORWSKN
WE DROVE AND DROVE AND FINALLY GOT TO A PLACE CALLED MADRAS, OR. LOCALS SAID YOU ARE CLOSE. THEN WE DROVE DOWN OREGON HIGHWAY 26 SOME MORE AND ON ANOTHER 12 MILES NORTH OF IT, AND IT WAS VERY HOT THAT DAY. FINALLY WE GOT THERE, THE CASINO WAS UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL, MADE OF ROCK AND WITH INDIAN ACCENTS.
I COULD NOT BUY THE CHIPS SO IT WAS TO THE BLACKJACK TABLES. AGAIN I HAD TO BUY 1’s FOR TIPPING, AND I LINED MY POCKETS WITH TRADERS (I BOUGHT ABOUT 60-$1’s & 4-5’s.) THERE WAS AN UNUSAL ASPECT TO THIS CASINO. IT HAD A HOTEL AND A FINE DINING, HOWEVER YOU COULDN’T WALK TO THEM WITHOUT TAKING AN ELEVATOR TO THE SECOND FLOOR AND AND THEN WALK A FEW STEPS TO ANOTHER ELEVATOR AND GO DOWN TO THE HOTEL LOBBY AND DINING ROOM?? NOW SINCE THE YEAR 2014 THEY HAVE MOVED THE CASINO OUT TO HIGHWAY 26 A MAIN ROUTE THAT TAKES YOU STRAIGHT TO PORTLAND. AND I GUESS THEY SHUTTLE YOU BACK AND FORTH TO THE CASINO, BECAUSE THEY STILL USE THE HOTEL AT THE OLD SITE. I DID BUY ENOUGH CHIPS THEN; ‘CUZ I STILL HAVE 3 OR 4 $1’s.
WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN OUR RV IN THEIR PARKING LOT WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN…REGGIE
