Hello Chippers; Here is a short story from yours truly or a guest author of our experiences while harvesting somewhere in the gaming world. A few are from countries out side the USA. Most are entertaining and most are instructive as to what to do or what not to do while harvesting chips from casinos or card rooms. Reggie

A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY]

VALLEY VIEW CASINO VALLEY CENTER, CA

STEVE GOBEL

This is a bit closer to what I was hoping for. Good atmosphere, friendly people. Seems to be more of a local's place, not another Strip Casino in the sticks. It's in the middle of a orange grove. The Casino was busy for a Tuesday afternoon as they had a giveaway for a covered baking dish in exchange for enough points. Looks to be a nice useable item, not just casino cheapie bling. I'd never play enough to earn the points. But there were a couple hundred people walking around with their prized dishes.
They gave a table games match play of $5 with the club membership. 'bout time I got something for the tables and not just useless slot "free" play. $10 Pai Gow table that had 3 side bets. Dealer was nice about explaining the side bets and off we went. I got Pai Gowed, Queen high only. So much for the match play coupon. But one of the side bets was for if you got Pai Gowed, and it paid $7 to $1. Yea! Only lost $6 on the hand :-) Tipped the dealer $1 and scooted.
