HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

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.
Some people have compulsions to gamble, some to amass fortunes and other’s, they just like to write stories; yeah, that would be me. I was never very good at it; but I have done it over the years just the same.
If any of you want any inside info on any casino that I’ve been to, I would be happy to tell you what I can.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

BESTBET JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

BY COINCEDENCE, I AM WRITING THIS AS HURRICANE MATTHEW IS DECENDING UPON THE FAIR CITY OF JACKSONVILLE. WHEN WE WENT TO BEST BET YEARS AGO, HURRICANE SANDY WAS DESCENDING ON THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE USA. WE WERE ON A TRIP TO SEE NANCY’S COUSIN IN CHARLESTON. WE SPENT THE DAY IN A HOTEL IN CHARLESTON, SC; WHILE SANDY PAST AND MOVED UP THE COAST AND DID OUR VISITING THE FOLLOWING DAY.
TRYING TO FIND THE BESTBET WAS A LITTLE TROUBLESOME, BECAUSE WE BELIEVED WHAT OUR GPS LADY TOLD US, GOT LOST; BUT EVENTUALLY FOUND IT.
WE WALKED INTO THE BESTBET AND IT WAS BRAND NEW, NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY HAD BEEN IN OPERATION, IT WAS A WEEK DAY I KNOW, AND THERE WAS A LADY SUIT AND MAN SUIT STANDING IN MAIN AISLE WAY OF THE CARD ROOM TALKING AND WE WALKED TOWARD THEM JUST GAZING AROUND LIKE A COUPLE OF YOKELS IN OFF THE FARM. THE YOUNG LADY SUIT ASKED IS ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU? NANCY SAID YES THERE IS, (BECAUSE THERE WERE NO SLOTS AND SHE WANTED TO GET ME OUT OF THERE BEFORE I SAT DOWN AT ONE OF THE POKER TABLES) CAN WE BUY SOME OF THE CHIPS THEY ARE PLAYING WITH ON THE POKER TABLES. I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS A CHIP COLLECTOR AND THAT I WAS A MEMBER OF THE CC-GTCC CLUB INTERNATIONAL, THAT I TRADED CHIPS WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE USA. I ALSO, MENTIONED THAT YOUR LITTLE PIECES OF CLAY ACT AS AN ADVERTISING WHEN I DO THAT. THE YOUNG LADY SAID, I UNDERSTAND HOW MANY WOULD LIKE? I TOLD HER AND SHE WENT TO THE CASHIERS CAGE LET HERSELF IN AND BROUGHT ME BACK $100 WORTH OF THE BESTBUY CHIPS UNTOUCHED AND NEVER USED. THIS YOUNG LADY IN THE SUIT WAS THE OPERATIONS MANAGER OF ALL THREE OF THE POKER ROOMS THAT BESTBET WAS A PART OF, WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE POKER ROOM AT ORANGE PARK AND THE POKER ROOM AT ST JOHN’S GREYHOUND PARK. YES I GOT ENOUGH CHIPS…REGGIE
