PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

DIAMOND JACKS SHREVEPORT, LA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

NANCY AND I WERE ON A WEEK TRIP THAT TOOK US THROUGH MISSISSIPPI, LOUSIANA, TEXAS AND BACK THROUGH LOUISIANA AND UP TO ARKANSAS, WHEN WE STILL LIVED IN CLEVELAND, TENNESSE. WE DID A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF HARVESTING THAT TRIP, I GET TIRED JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. WE HAD DONE SOME VISITING OF RELATIVES IN HOUSTON, ATTENDED A HOUSTON CHIPPERS MEETING AND HAD A LITTLE BUSINESS IN DALLAS THAT WE TOOK CARE OF; AND WENT TO SHREVESPORT FOR MORE HARVESTING. WHEN WE GOT THERE I SAID LET’S HIT THE CASINOS SEE WHICH ONE WILL GIVE US THE BEST RATES FOR A ROOM AND STOP THERE FOR THE NIGHT.
WELL IT TURNED OUT THE HARVESTING WAS RELATIVELY EASY THERE IN SHREVESPORT, AND IT DID NOT TAKE LONG TO GET TO THE DIAMOND JACKS, WHICH HAD RECENTLY TAKEN OVER FROM THE ISLE OF CAPRI. THEIR ROOM RATES WERE UNBELIVEABLY LOW, SO; THAT IS THE ONE WE CHOSE TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH. THEY WERE DOING SOME REMODLING AND SOME MODIFICATIONS TO TURN IT IN TO A “NEWER CASINO”.
I HAD NO PROBLEMS GETTING THE NEWER CHIPS FROM THERE, AND WE CHECKED IN TO THE ROOM AFTER GRABBING A BITE TO EAT AT THEIR SNACK BAR, UGH; THE ONLY PLACE OPEN THAT SERVED FOOD.
BUT, WHEN WE GOT UP TO OUR ROOM WE WERE AMAZED AT THE PARROTS PAINTED ON ALL OF THE WALLS OF THE ROOM (ISLE OF CAPRI WAS STILL THERE). WE DID NOT CARE WE WERE FRIED FROM TRAVELING AND HARVESTING. PLUS, WE WERE ONLY TWO DAYS AWAY FROM GETTING BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE. I DID NOT GET ENOUGH OF THE DIAMOND JACKS FROM SHREVEPORT. REGGIE
