HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

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 INFORMATION ON ANY CASINO THAT I’VE BEEN TO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT I CAN.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

WIND RIVER CASINO RIVERTON, WY[/h2

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

THIS WAS BY FAR THE FARTHEST I EVER WENT TO HARVEST, ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT DRIVING. MY YOUNGEST SON AND I WERE ON A FATHER-SON ROAD TRIP AND WE WERE COMING FROM DEADWOOD. RIVERTON IS IN THE MIDDLE OF WYOMING AND THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO GET THERE.
BUT, THERE IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE AND THAT IS THE FACT THAT MY SON LOVES TO DRIVE AND HE USUALLY TAKES LESS TIME TO GET THERE THAN MOST.
WHEN WE GOT THERE IT WAS NOT IMPRESSIVE TO SAY THE LEAST. BUT WE GOT OUT OF HIS HOT ROD MUSTANG AND WENT IN. THEY HAD A BLACKJACK PIT OF 6 TABLES. THE CASHIER WOULD NOT SELL ANY CHIPS, EXCEPT AT THE VERY LAST I TALKED THE PIT BOSS OUT OF 10 FIFTY CENT CHIPS. HE WENT AND GOT THEM FOR ME. THE $1’S & $5’S WERE EASY. I BOUGHT $200 WORTH OF CHIPS, THEY GAVE ME 4 QUARTERS AND $100 IN $5’S. SO, I PLAYED A FEW HANDS AT EACH TABLE BREAKING THE $25’S FOR $1’S TO TIP WITH…WINK…WINK. BY THE TIME WE LEFT I HAD OVER $50 $1’S AND $50 IN $5’S, PLUS THE 10 50c CHIPS.
ON THE WAY OUT WE GRABBED SOME SNACKS AND A COUPLE $1 DECKS OF USED CARDS FOR MY CARD COLLECTION, AND HEADED FOR JACKSON HOLE. AND YES, I MOST DEFINITELY BOUGHT ENOUGH CHIPS FROM THIS CASINO THIS TRIP.…REGGIE
