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
CHER-AE-HEIGHTS CASINO TRINIDAD, CA
By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
CHER-AE-HEIGHTS CASINO IS LOCATED IN THE GREAT NORTH WEST OF CALIFORNIA. IT IS ON HIGHWAY 101 JUST SOUTH OF THE OF TRINIDAD STATE BEACH AND SOUTH OF TRINIDAD.
WE ARE ON OUR ONE MONTH VACATION PRIOR TO OUR WEDDING IN LAKE TAHOE. THE YEAR IS 2006. WE ARE IN OUR RV, AND ARE ENJOYING ALL THE SCENIC BEAUTY THAT THE NORTH END OF CALIFORNIA HAS TO OFFER. SHORTLY AFTER TAKING OFF FROM LOLETA, CA WE FOUND THE CHER-AE-HEIGHTS. THERE WAS A BIT OF TRICKY DRIVING UP TO THE CASINO FROM THE FREEWAY, BUT WE MADE IT AND HAD BREAKFAST THERE BEFORE WE GOT INTO THE HAVESTING MODE.
THIS CASINO WAS OF MEDIUM SIZE, THEY ACTUALLY HAD TWO TABLES OF BLACKJACK OPEN AND 3 DEALERS ROTATING IN OUT OF THE PIT. IN CALIFORNIA THE INDIANS PRETTY MUCH MAKE UP THEIR OWN RULES ON SELLING CHIPS FROM THE CAGE. THIS CASINO WOULD NOT SELL THEM FROM THE CAGE. SO, IT WAS TO THE BLACK JACK TABLE I GO AND NANCY TO THE MACHINE OF HER CHOICE “KITTY LITTER”, DON’T ASK.
I HAD ALL THE CURRENT CHIPS FROM THIS CASINO IN MY COLLECTION ALREADY, SO THIS WAS TO FILL UP AN INVENTORY VOID. WHILE PLAYING BLACK JACK WITH I BELIEVE AN 8 DECK SHOE, I HAD HIT TWO TIMES BACK TO BACK BLACKJACKS, THEY HAD A PROMOTION ON AT THAT TIME AND THEY GAVE ME 5- 43mm $5 NCV’s AND ONE $25 NCV SAME SIZE FOR THESE TWO HITS. PLEASE SEE THE LINK TO THE CHIP GUIDE TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THESE WERE QUITE POPULAR. I WISH I COULD HAVE WON MORE OF THESE, AND I DID BUY ENOUGH TABLE CHIPS …REGGIE[/Ab] http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=CATRCA
