vbg Harvest Stories from here & abroad mad

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

GLACIER PEAKS CASINO BROWNING, MT

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

GLACIER PEAKS CASINO NAME WAS DERIVED FROM THE NATIONAL PARK GLACIER NATIONAL PARK. IT IS LOCATED A FEW MILES OUT SIDE OF BROWNING, MT, WHICH IS A REAL INDIAN TOWN, MOSTLY INDIANS AND RANCHERS.
IT WAS WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO TAKE THE “GOING TO THE SUN HIGHWAY” THROUGH GLACIER PARK THAT WE HAD STOPPED TO MAKE A HARVEST AT GLACIER PEAKS. THIS WAS REALLY A TYPICAL INDIAN CASINO. WE GOT FREE T-SHIRTS, NANCY GOT A FREE BUNGI CORD AND WE BOTH GOT PLAYER CARDS. ANY WAY WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR VISIT.
I PLAYED POKER FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS, MADE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PAY FOR MY HARVEST. AND WHILE I WAS PLAYING I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT OF CONVERSATION AMONGST THE PLAYERS AT THE POKER TABLE; THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO WALK OUT OF THE CASINO WITH YOUR POCKETS FULL OF CHIPS. I HAD BEEN WEARING MY HEAVY DUTY CARGO PANTS THAT HAD FOUR FRONT POCKETS AND TWO BACK POCKETS, SO I CAREFULLY POCKETED “LITERALLY’ ONLY A FEW CHIPS LESS THAN 5 IN EACH OF MY MANY POCKETS; THIS MADE IT QUITE UN-NOTICABLE WHAT IF ANY THING WAS IN MY POCKETS. THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED THAT THE OLD SAYING “FOR WARNED IS FOR BEST”. WE LEFT THE CASINO AND HEADED EAST TOWARDS MY OLD HOME TOWN GILDFORD, MT FOR A MARATHON OF VISITING OF THE HOME TOWN FOLKS.
I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS AT THIS CASINO. REGGIE

We have been there two times, since. Once during the COVID years, it was closed. Then in 2022 it was open but no poker.
