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

OJBIWA CASINO/OJBIWA CASINO II

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

OJBIWA CASINO AT BARAGA, MI : http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=MIBAOJ OJBIWA CASINO II AT MARQUETTE, MI: http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=MIMAO2 BOTH OF THESE CASINOS ARE VERY SMALL, BUT ARE WELL ATTENDED. THEY ARE LOCATED AROUND THE SOUTHERN SHORES OF LAKE SUPERIOR. BOTH CASINOS ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE KEWEENAW BAY INDIAN COMMUNITY, LAKE SUPERIOR BAND OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS.
NANCY AND I STAYED OVERNIGHT AT THE BARAGA CASINO, THERE WAS NO POKER SO I PLAYED A LITTLE BLACK JACK, ALL OF THE CHIPS WERE USED AND ABUSED SO I DID MY BEST AT HARVESTING A FEW CHIPS. IN THE MORNING WHEN WE GOT READY TO LOAD UP THE TRUCK, WE FOUND ABOUT 4 INCHES OF SNOW ON IT. IT WAS QUITE A SHOCK TO THE TENNESSEE BOY.
NEXT STOP WAS A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO THE MARQUETTE CASINO. WE WERE GREETED BY AND MET THE CASINO MANGER, WE TALKED AND TALKED WITH HIM ABOUT HUNTING & FISHING AND ABOUT CHIP COLLECTING. WE HAD ARRIVED ABOUT 10 AM BUT THE TABLES DIDN’T OPEN UNTIL 1 OR 2PM, SO AFTER BEING GIFTED WITH TWO VERY NICE RAIN SLICKER JACKETS AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER FREEBIES; WE HAD TO LEAVE.( BEFORE 2PM) WE LEFT WITH THE PROMISE IF THE GAMBLING COMMISSION WILL ALLOW THE MANAGER TO BUY CHIPS WITH MY CHECK, OF WHICH I GAVE HIM, AND WITH THE CAMERA ON IT, HE WOULD MAKE THE TRANSACTION AND THEN SEND US THE CHIPS. AFTER 6 WEEKS WAIT, HE WROTE AN EMAIL AND SAID I’M SORRY. YES, HE SENT BACK MY CHECK. DEFINITELY, DID NOT GET ENOUGH CHIPS AT THESE TWO CASINOS. …REGGIE
