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

L’AUBERAGE DU LAC CASINO LAKE CHARLES, LA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

LAKE CHARLES LOUISIANA IS SURROUNDED BY WATER, AND KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND WHAT SIDE OF THE BRIDGES ARE A PLUS. AND WE DID HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THAT, FINDING THE L’AUBERAGE DU LAC. THE CASINO AFTER ARRIVING AND GETTING PARKED, WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS INSIDE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS SO EXTREMELY POPULAR WITH THE LOCALS AND CLOSE BY HOUSTON TEXANS THAT YOU COULD BARELY WALK INSIDE.
NANCY AND I JUST SORT OF WANDERED AROUND ON THE MAIN CASINO FLOOR FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR. NANCY WAS HAVING TROUBLE FINDING A MACHINE THAT SHE WANTED TO PLAY AND I WAS STICKING CLOSE TO HER. FINALLY, I GOT HER SETTLED AT AN AREA THAT HAD A BANK OF MACHINES THAT SHE LIKED AND WERE AVAILABLE FOR HER TO PLAY.
THE WHOLE CASINO WAS FULL; PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. I HAD DETERMINED THAT YOU COULD NOT GET CHIPS OUT OF THE CASHIER CAGE. SO, I WADED INTO THE TABLE GAMES AREA WITH PROPER BILLS TO BUY TO BUY CHIPS WITH ($10’S & $20’S). EVERY TABLE, AND I MEAN EVERY TABLE WAS FULL OF PLAYERS. FINALLY, I NOTICED A PIT BOSS, OUT IN THE CUSTOMER AISLES SORT OF OBSERVING THE ACTION. COME TO FIND OUT HE WAS HIGHER UP THAN THAT, PERHAPS A SHIFT MANAGER; AND AS HE NOTICED ME HE SAID: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE SOME HELP. I SAID YES, I AM TRYING TO BUY SOME CHIPS, AND I DO NOT NEED A SEAT. HE SAID COME WITH ME, (IT WAS A GOOD THING I KNEW WHAT I WANTED) AND STOPPED THE ACTION AT A TABLE, SOME OF THE PATRONS PLAYING THERE SHOT HIM A DIRTY LOOK, AND THEN GLARED AT ME AFTER THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I SAID THANK YOU, POCKETED MY CHIPS AND LEFT A TIP FOR THE VERY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY DEALING THE CARDS.
AT THIS CASINO I DID NOT GET ENOUGH CHIPS TO LAST VERY LONG, BUT; THAT IS OK, SOME TIMES YOU DO AND SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT, BECAUSE OF THE SCENERIO THAT SURROUNDS YOU…REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=LALCLD
