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.

A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

MOHAWK BINGO PALACE

BY GUEST AUTHOR: CARL SHALIT

I live in the Boston area and once or twice a year I have to go to Syracuse, NY, a 6 or so hour drive. Several years ago I decided to take a longer scenic ride by way of the Akwesasne casino in upstate NY since I had not been there since they opened in 1999.
Great timing, they had just released a hotel opening chip so I gather several.
Continuing on towards Syracuse, I saw a sign that said "POKER". Of course I stopped since I had no idea there was anything in the area except the Akwesasne. They did have live poker using "Mohawk Bingo Palace" chips. As I recall, they would only sell me one of each.
As I was walking out, a young fellow who heard me explain that I was a collector followed me and said he had some chips that he couldn't redeem since the house they were from closed. Naturally I bought them from him. These were from "Three Feathers Casino".
Bottom line is, from what I expected to be just a long scenic way to get to Syracuse, I gathered FIVE new chips. These are all on the Chipguide.
