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

FEATHER FALLS CASINO OROVILLE, CA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

COLUSA CASINO WAS THE OBJECT OF MY POKER THIRST ONE LATE NIGHT IN AUGUST, WHILE MAKING MY BI-ANNUAL TRIP TO MONTANA TO A FAMILY REUNION. I WAS DRIVING MY EDDIE BAUER FORD EXPEDITION, AND HAD STOPPED AT THE COLUSA INDIAN CASINO TO PICK UP A FEW HANDS. UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE CLOSED, I HAD INTENDED ON A MAKING A HARVEST WHILE THERE. I WAS JUST STANDING THERE AT THE CLOSED DOOR TO THE POKER ROOM PONDERING WHAT TO DO NEXT, ACTUALLY MY ONLY CHOICE WAS TO DRIVE BACK TO I-5 AND GET ON DOWN THE ROAD TO REDDING. THEN THIS YOUNG MAN, WELL; HE WAS LOOKED YOUNG TO ME, POSSIBLY THIRTYISH WALKED UP TO ME AND ASKED, ARE THEY CLOSED? I SAID THEY SURE ARE, HE SAYS THAT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WHEN THEY CANNOT GET A GAME GOING EARLY. HE SAID, I AM GOING UP TO FEATHER FALLS THEY ALWAYS HAVE A GAME GOING. WE CHATTED A BIT MORE AND HE SEEMED LIKE AN HONEST SORT. I ASKED HIM DO YOU MIND IF I FOLLOW YOU? HE SAID SURE, AND WE WERE OFF THROUGH THE BACK COUNTRY OF NORTH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. AFTER WE WERE SEATED AT THE FEATHER FALLS POKER ROOM, I GOT TO KNOW HIM BETTER, AND WE SHARED SOME POKER STORIES, A FEW LAUGHS, AND AROUND 5 AM SUNRISE, THE GAME BROKE AND I WANDERED DOWN TO THE BLACKJACK TABLES TO FINISH MY HARVEST AT THE FEATHER FALLS CASINO. I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS AT THE CASINO IN OROVILLE, ENJOYED THE NIGHT, AND DROVE AS FAR AS MY PREVIOUSLY RESERVED MOTEL SOME WHERE ON I-5; STOPPED LONG ENOUGH TO GET A SHOWER, AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD TO MONTANA.
