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

CASINO AZTAR EVANSVILLE, IN

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

NANCY AND I WERE ON THE WAY UP TO MICHIGAN TO ONE OF ALBERT SCALZO’S BATTLE CREEK SHOWS WHEN WE STOPPED THERE. IT WAS A PRETTY NICE RIVERBOAT AS RIVERBOAT’S GO. IT DID NOT SMELL QUITE AS BAD AS IT’S SISTER BOAT IN MISSOURI. SO WE OVER STAYED OUR TIME ALLOWANCE, MOSTLY BECAUSE I WAS HAVING FUN AT THE POKER TABLE WAY DOWN IN BOTTOM OF THE BOAT, AND SHE WAS WINNING ON THE MACHINES.
THE CHIPS ON THIS RIVERBOAT WERE BORDERLINE THRASHED, SO I HAD A LOT OF LOOKING AND SORTING AND TRADING OF CHIPS IF I SPOTTED A CLEAN ONE IN SOMEBODY ELSES STACK I WOULD ASK FOR IT IN TRADE. YOU KNOW TALKING ABOUT THAT A BIT, I THINK ONLY ONE TIME I WAS REFUSED A TABLE TRADE, THAT WAS A VERY QUIET LADY THAT MUST OF FIGURED I WAS UP TO NO GOOD…LOL.
ANY WAY NANCY WOULD SWING BY THE POKER ROOM AREA TO SEE IF I WAS READY TO GO ABOUT EVERY HALF AN HOUR. FINALLY BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WINDOWS AND I COULD TELL BY THE HANDS ON MY WATCH IT WAS DARK OUT, AND WE NEEDED TO LOG SOME MORE MILES BEFORE CRASHING AT A MOTEL. THAT WE DID; AND I THINK WE DROVE STRAIGHT NORTH TO VINCENNES.
AFTER I GOT IN THE ROOM I UNLOADED MY POCKETS AND FOUND I DID NOT HAVE THE CHIPS IN THE BEST CONDITION DESPITE OF ALL OF MY SORTING AND TRADING. I LET THEM SIT IN WATER ALL NIGHT AND GOT SOME OF THE DIRT OFF OF THEM.
I CANNOT SAY IT WAS THE BEST HARVEST I EVER DID, BUT NANCY AND I BOTH HAD A VERY NICE BREAK DURING OUR TRIP AND ENJOYED OURSELVES WHILE WE WERE AT THE CASINO AZTAR, NOW KNOWN AS THE TROPICANA. I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS TO LAST ME SEVERAL YEARS…REGGIE
