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

SOUTHLAND PARK WEST MEMPHIS, AR

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

SOUTHLAND PARK IS A GREYHOUND RACING FACILTY, A RACINO. IT IS A FEW MILES FROM BRIDGE THAT CROSSES INTO MEMPHIS, TN.
ONCE AGAIN NANCY AND I ARRIVED IN THE MIDST OF A SOUTHERN RAIN SQUALL. WE WERE COMING FROM HOT SPRINGS, AR AND A UNSCUCCESSFUL HARVEST AT OAKLAWN RACING. I MENTIONED THIS IN THE OAKLAWN HARVEST STORY.
SOUTHLAND IS A RATHER LARGE RACINO. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO BUY THE NEEDED CHIPS, I WAS SENT UP STAIRS TO THE POKER ROOM, WHICH WAS NOT OPERATING. THEN I REALIZED IT IS ALL LIGHTNING POKER (ELECTRONIC). WELL, ON TO PLAN B THE BLACK JACK TABLES. I THEN COUNSELLED WITH A FRIENDLY LOOKING PIT BOSS, TOLD HIM MY STORY, HE WAS VERY QUICK, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WANTED. HE SAYS, I SEE ONE “YOU GUYS” ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS, I HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT ON THE TABLES TODAY. HE HAD 22 $1 CHIPS WITH DIFFERENT INSERTS THAN THE RACK ON THE TABLES, ALL UNCIRCULATED. I BOUGHT THEM ALL, TODAY I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WERE THE BEGINNING OF A SECOND SERIES OR A BACK UP RACK THAT GOT OUT BY ACCIDENT. I BOUGHT ENOUGH OF THE NEW ONES THIS TIME.
FINDING NEW CHIPS UNEXPECTEDLY IS LIKE CATCHING THE GOLDEN RING ON THE MERRY-GO-AROUND. …REGGIE
