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

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

WIN-RIVER CASINO REDDING, CA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WIN-RIVER CASINO YOU WOULD THINK WOULD BE NESTLED NEAR A CALIFORNIA RIVER SOME WHERE IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOREST. THAT COULD NOT BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. WIN- RIVER IS IN A SLEEPY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY OF REDDING, YOU HAVE TO BE ON YOUR TOES WITH A GPS TO FIND THIS CASINO.
I ARRIVED THERE FAIRLY EARLY IN THE MORNING TO FIND VERY FEW PATRONS, BUT I HAD FOUND A VERY GOOD PARKING PLACE NEAR THE DOOR OF THE CASINO.
AS I WALKED IN I WAS CHECKED OUT SUSPCIOUSLY BY AN UNIFORMED SECURITY GUARD. I PROCEEDED TO THE CAGE TO ASK FOR THE CLAY TREASURES THAT I WANTED, AND WAS TOLD; YOU GET THEM AT THE TABLES, AND ONLY ONE BLACKJACK TABLE WAS OPEN. THAT WAS NOT WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR, BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GET ON DOWN THE ROAD. I SAT DOWN AND BOUGHT $50 WORTH OF CHIPS, AND GOT THE NECESSARY $1’s & $5’s THAT I WANTED. BUT, I NOTICED THEY HAD SOME VERY PRETTY WHITE 50c CHIPS, AND I REQUESTED A TRADE OF 3 ONE DOLLAR CHIPS IN EXCHANGE FOR 6 WHITE 50c CHIPS. AND THE DEALER CALLED THE PIT BOSS AWAY FROM READING HIS MORNING PAPER, I GULPED AND WAITED. PIT BOSS SAID YOU GET THOSE WHEN YOU GET A BLACKJACK, I SAID I HAD NOT GOTTEN A BLACKJACK AND I HAVE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. I JUST KIND OF WAITED HIM OUT AND THEN I SAID HOW ABOUT JUST FOUR YOU WON’T MISS THAT MANY. HE SAID OK, I MADE THE EXCHANGE AND WALKED PAST THAT SECURITY GUARD SMILING AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I GOT ALL THE $1’s AND 5’s I NEEDED BUT DID NOT GET ENOUGH 50c CHIPS…REGGIE
