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

GOLDEN COIN CASINO AT UNCLE TIM’S MANSON, WA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

NANCY AND I HAD BEEN ON A WHIRLWIND TOUR OF CENTRAL WASHINGTON HARVESTING VERY HEAVILY, WHEN WE STOPPED AT THE MILL BAY CASINO AND GRABBED A FEW CHIPS. SHE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR HER FAVORITE SLOTS, WHILE I ENGAGED IN A CASUAL CONVERSATION WITH A PIT BOSS THAT WAS NOT VERY BUSY. HE SEEMED TO BE ALMOST TOO YOUNG TO BE IN THE POSITION HE WAS IN (FLOOR MANAGER). I ASKED HIM IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER POKER ROOMS IN THE AREA AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE GOLDEN COIN CASINO, OVER IN THE DOWNTOWN PART OF MANSON. HE SAID AS WE WENT OUT THE FRONT DOOR, OH BTW IF YOU PLAN ON ACTUALLY PLAYING, YOU HAD BETTER BRING YOUR OWN DEALER??? I WAS A LITTLE CURIOUS ABOUT THAT STATEMENT, THINKING THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THERE WOULD NOT BE A GAME AT “UNCLE TIM’s” WHEN WE GOT THERE; THERE WASN’T. THIS CASINO WAS FOUR BUSINESSES IN UNDER ONE ROOF. IT HAD A BAR WITH A POSTAGE STAMP DANCE FLOOR, IT HAD A SMALL DINNER RESTAURANT, (SMALL BUT CLASSY), AND IT HAD SLOT MACHINE CASINO WITH ABOUT 100 SLOTS, AND IN THE VERY BACK OF THE PLACE WAS A POOL TABLE, ANOTHER (TINY) BAR WITH A POKER TABLE. (WHERE YOU DID IN FACT HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN DEALER AND PAY BY THE HOUR TO PLAY POKER) THEY HAD PULL TABS, AND ALL THE LOTTERIES AVAILABE, IT WAS A VERY COOL LITTLE ROOM. NANCY AND I WERE NOT IN ANY HURRY, WE KNEW THERE WOULD BE NOT A POKER GAME; SO I POPPED THE QUESTION, CAN I BUY SOME OF YOUR CHIPS? SHE SAID SURE WHY NOT! SO SHE PULLED OUT ALL THE DENOMS SHE HAD TO OFFER. I DID NOT GET OUT OF THERE WITH OUT SPENDING $100, BUT IT WAS VERY GOOD INVESTMENT, NO ONE HAD ANY OF THOSE CHIPS. I MADE THE MOST OF THE PURCHASE WHEN I GOT BACK TO TENNESSEE. TODAY, ALL I HAVE IS ONE EACH OF ALL THE DENOMS UP TO $25.
NEEDLESS TO SAY; I DID NOT BUY ENOUGH. REGGIE
