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

CLUB CARIBE CUDAHY, CA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

JIM NOLL WAS AN EXTREMLY INTELLIGENT MAN. HE CREATED THE TITO COLLECTOR GUIDE. THE ONLY PERSON I KNEW THAT HAD EVER MET BILL GATES PERSONALLY. JIM AND I USED TO TRAVEL TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHIP COLLECTORS MEETINGS AT HOLLYWOOD PARK, WHEN I STILL LIVED IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA. HE AS MOST PEOPLE KNOW; STARTED THE TITO COLLECTION GROUP.
ONE TRIP UP TO THE MONTHLY MEETING AT HOLLYWOOD PARK; WE DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE HARVESTING AT SEVERAL OF THE CASINOS FOR THEIR LATEST RELEASES. ALONG THE WAY WE STOPPED AT THE COMMERCE, BICYCLE AND CLUB CARIBE.
THINGS WERE NORMAL AT THE COMMERCE AND THE “BIKE”. THE CASHIERS WERE SURLY, RUSHED AND HAD NO TIME FOR CHIP COLLECTORS.
BUT, WHEN WE GOT TO THE CLUB CARIBE, THE PARKING LOT WAS EMPTY, EXCEPT FOR A FEW CARS, AND IT WAS AROUND 3 IN THE AFTERNOON. JIM HAD WARNED ME ABOUT CLUB CARIBE BEFORE WE GOT THERE. I SWEAR, EVERYONE IN THERE LOOKED LIKE THEY EITHER BELONGED BEHIND BARS OR WORE AN ANKLE BRACELET. IT IS A CARD ROOM ONLY, BUT NOT ONE TABLE WAS OPEN. HE SAID, JUST GO STRAIGHT TO THE CASHIER AND MAKE YOUR REQUESTS, AND WE WILL GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE. I DID AND WE DID. IF EVER THERE WAS A DEN OF INIQUITY, THAT WAS THE PLACE.
THE ONE AND ONLY TIME I EVER WENT TO THE CLUB CARIBE…REGGIE
SIDENOTE: SOMEONE POSTED ON THE CHIPBOARD THAT THIS FINE ESTABLISHMENT BURNT DOWN A FEW YEARS BACK. (MAY ’15)
