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

CASINO AZTAR EVANSVILLE, IN

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

NANCY AND I WERE ON THE WAY UP TO MICHIGAN TO ONE OF ALBERT SCALZO’S BATTLE CREEK SHOWS WHEN WE STOPPED THERE. IT WAS A PRETTY NICE RIVERBOAT AS RIVERBOAT’S GO. IT DID NOT SMELL QUITE AS BAD AS IT’S SISTER BOAT IN MISSOURI. SO WE OVER STAYED OUR TIME ALLOWANCE, MOSTLY BECAUSE I WAS HAVING FUN AT THE POKER TABLE WAY DOWN IN BOTTOM OF THE BOAT, AND SHE WAS WINNING ON THE MACHINES.
THE CHIPS ON THIS RIVERBOAT WERE BORDERLINE THRASHED, SO I HAD A LOT OF LOOKING AND SORTING AND TRADING OF CHIPS IF I SPOTTED A CLEAN ONE IN SOMEBODY ELSES STACK I WOULD ASK FOR IT IN TRADE. YOU KNOW TALKING ABOUT THAT A BIT, I THINK ONLY ONE TIME I WAS REFUSED A TABLE TRADE, THAT WAS A VERY QUIET LADY THAT MUST OF FIGURED I WAS UP TO NO GOOD…LOL.
ANY WAY NANCY WOULD SWING BY THE POKER ROOM AREA TO SEE IF I WAS READY TO GO ABOUT EVERY HALF AN HOUR. FINALLY BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WINDOWS AND I COULD TELL BY THE HANDS ON MY WATCH IT WAS DARK OUT, AND WE NEEDED TO LOG SOME MORE MILES BEFORE CRASHING AT A MOTEL. THAT WE DID; AND I THINK WE DROVE STRAIGHT NORTH TO VINCENNES.
AFTER I GOT IN THE ROOM I UNLOADED MY POCKETS AND FOUND I DID NOT HAVE THE CHIPS IN THE BEST CONDITION DESPITE OF ALL OF MY SORTING AND TRADING. I LET THEM SIT IN WATER ALL NIGHT AND GOT SOME OF THE DIRT OFF OF THEM.
I CANNOT SAY IT WAS THE BEST HARVEST I EVER DID, BUT NANCY AND I BOTH HAD A VERY NICE BREAK DURING OUR TRIP AND ENJOYED OURSELVES WHILE WE WERE AT THE CASINO AZTAR, NOW KNOWN AS THE TROPICANA. I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS TO LAST ME SEVERAL YEARS…REGGIE
