HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
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.

TESUQUE CASINO – SANTA FE, NM

STEVE GOBLE

Tesuque Casino
The Tesuque's were very good to me. $10 free slot play. Ran it up to $10 in cash on a Vid Pkr machine yet again. Only 2 tables open in the pit, 1 BJ and one Roulette. I'm not much on Roulette since the 10 cent table at the Nevada Palace closed. BJ was a $15 minimum. Yikes! In order to get enough chips I bought in for $100, I've never done that in my life. Single Deck BJ game, kinda a rare bird to find. The dealer had this habit of busting their hand , so I played a few hands. I actually hit a couple of the sucker side bets. Walked from the table with $75 cash in addition to the too many chips I kept.
Nice enough new casino. Lovely wall of windows looking out to the desert. Maybe the Las Vegas Casinos will catch on to the idea of putting a few windows in their new casinos. We do still gamble...
Silly enough, I liked the pattern and colors in Tesuque's carpet, kinda said painted desert to me. Or my mind is just going from too many casinos and too many days on the road. [Note: in the stacked chip scans, they are not warped, my had moved holding them during scanning.]
