A couple of weeks back, I heard that the Gardens had opened its new casino building, so an evening trip was called for to see what surprises awaited.
The old structure, still known to most Californians as the Hawaiian Gardens Casino, has been reduced to rubble. Parking is still on the east side of the premises, but patrons have to walk under a long covered walkway to get to the new two-story building. Upon entering, I was struck by the elegant silver dolphins jumping out of the fountain in the lobby.
I exclaimed: "Quit hitting me, you stupid dolphins!"
Next it was time for a most important task: visiting the men's room. I was surprised to see goldfish in the lavatory sinks.
Then, on to the tables where I saw . . . nothing that looked new. So my next visit was to a cashier. By the way, the old casino had something like a half-dozen cashiers scattered about. This new one seemed to have only two cages, located side-by-side. I asked the cashier if they had any new chips out for the grand opening. "Yes, we have new $1,000 chips," she replied. Told her that was a bit steep, how about any lower denominations?
"Oh, yes, we have new $25's," she said, ruffling through her stock. "But I can't find any right now. Actually they look just like the other twenty-fives, but they are new!"
At this point I deduced I was speaking to Gracie Allen III, so I excused myself and asked a somewhat dour cashier at the second cage about new $25 chips. Told there were none.
Passed by a fascinating sign at one table, "English Only Must Be Spoken When Cards Are In Play." Felt like asking the idle dealer, "Por quë señor?"
And exited the building, looking for the volcano that used to be outside. Alas, it was gone, a victim of the construction. The only active volcano in California and reason to visit Hawaiian Gardens, and it was GONE!
Sometimes chip trips are just good for use of the men's room.

NANCY AND I HAD SPENT THE NIGHT AT RIVERWALK DURING IT’S FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION, AND WAS ON OUR WAY TO NEW ORLEANS. ONE OF OUR SCHEDULED STOPS WAS THE TREASURE CHEST IN KENNER. WHEN WE LEFT THE FREEWAY, I WAS NOT AWARE OF HOW FAR IT WAS OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
WE FINALLY ARRIVED AT THEIR PARKING LOT AND WHILE WE WALKED TO THE WALKWAY WE NOTICED THAT THE OUT SIDE OF THE OLD RIVERBOAT LOOKED VERY NICE, THE ENTRY WAY WAS ALL MARBLE, BUT WHEN YOU WALKED ABOARD THE ACTUAL RIVEBOAT IT SMELLED HARSHLY OF A COMBINATION OF CIGARETTE SMOKE, CIGAR SMOKE AND WET RAGS. I KNEW NANCY WOULD BE READY TO LEAVE AS SOON AS SHE GOT THERE. ON TOP OF IT ALL THEIR CHIPS WERE ALL THRASHED.
ON TO PLAN “B”, OOPS I DID NOT HAVE A PLAN “B”. I HURRIEDLY GATHERED A FEW ONES AND A COUPLE OF $5 CHIPS. WHILE DOING THIS I DISCOVERED THEY HAD SOME 50c CHIPS THAT I HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE. I GRABBED ABOUT 10 OF THE 50c CHIPS AND WENT BACK TO THE CASHIERS CAGE AND CULLED OUT ALL OF THE REAL LOSERS THAT I HAD BOUGHT OFF OF THE TABLES ($1’s & $5’s), CASHED THEM IN AND GRABBED NANCY AND BARELY NOTICED THE AMBULANCE THAT HAD BACKED UP TO THE WALKWAY TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE TREASURE CHEST.
AFTER SEEING THE AMBULANCE; WE REALLY WANTED TO GET OUT OF THAT AREA, PLUS IT HAD STARTED RAINING VERY HARD. WE HAD PLANNED ON GOING TO HARRAHS IN DOWNTOWN NEW ORLEANS, BUT ON THE WAY DECIDED WE HAD BETTER GO TO OUR RESERVED MOTEL IN HARVEY, LA.
NO, I DID NOT GET ENOUGH CHIPS DURING THIS HARVEST, ‘YA WIN SOME AND ‘YA LOSE SOME…REGGIE

I am always trying to put things together that have some semblance of balance. Of course, that will always be in the eye of the beholder. Some of these may attract you the collector a little or a lot, no matter which way it attracts, please know I am always trying to help you out, with items you want at price that is fair. For now, I am going to do them every week, but as an unscheduled surprise feature…Thanks for looking. Reggie
If you have some ideas about compatible pairs please send them in to me. If it is possible and I happen to have the two, they will be put on the docket...reg

• THE BULK OF THE TIME IT MEANS THAT IT WAS SOLD BEFORE THE PAGE WAS DISPLAYED
• OFTEN IT MEANS THAT THE CHIP IN QUESTION WAS TRADED BEFORE THE SCHEDULED PAGE DATE.
• IT CAN ALSO BE THE VICTIM OF THE ANNUAL CONVENTION TRADE SESSIONS IN LAS VEGAS.
PLEASE KNOW THAT I AM AN ACTIVE TRADER, I OFTEN MENTION THIS IN MY POSTS ON THE CHIPBOARD.
PLEASE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT MY CHIPS ARE POSTED FREQUENTLY ON THE “PAGE OF THE DAY” AND AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE BEING DISPLAYED IN THE COLLECTION LIBRARY.
ALSO, I SELL INDIVIDUAL ITEMS ON A DAILY BASIS ON THE CB.
AND THERE IS A POSSSIBILITY THAT I TRADED OR SOLD IT AT A PRIVATE SESSION IN MY HOME OR AT A FLORIDA STATE CC-GTCC MEETING.
PLEASE ALSO MAKE A NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO SELL AND TRADE AS OFTEN AS I DO. I NEED TO BUY CHIPS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SO, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I BUY, SELL AND TRADE. “LET’S TRADE” …REGGIE
MANY YEARS AGO I STARTED MY POSTING, BY POSTING “A SET OF THE DAY” I THINK I HAD ABOUT 300-400 SETS ALL TOGETHER. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN BACK THEN. AND WHEN I STARTED DOING “A PAGE A DAY” I INCLUDED BETTER SETS AS A CATEGORY.
BUT NOW; RATHER THAN HAVING MY BETTER SETS CATEGORY, I WILL START HAVING A REGULAR SET OF THE DAY WITH MY OTHER FEATURES WHEN I DISPLAY A “PAGE OF THE DAY”.
I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE. SEE POD FOR P/H RATES. SEND ME AN EMAIL FOR ORDERS OR QUESTIONS…Reggie
Four Queens Snapper Set $24 plum LV, NV
Starting 2016, I have listed everything I have (all of my excel inventory +) on the collection library trader/for sale. Of course, many of you did not know that my previous listings were items I had more than one of. Now, everything; even the ones I only have 1 (one) of will be listed. Please know; none of these are from my personal collection. One more important point while searching for chips on my CL site; there are two settings for viewing my chips. One is a simply a long, long list of pictures and descriptions. Two is by Country/City/State/Casino alphabetical. You may request to change this at any time. And when you do I will leave it on that setting for a couple of days, or whatever you request within reason, before I change to help another chipper’s request.
Follow This Collection Library Link To Approximately +/- 4500 Trader Chips >>>: http://www.collectionlibrary.com/Index.asp?EvApp=mls.5117&sPageName=MyTraders
This will cause more work for me, and along with that will be the possibility of more errors, and chances for items to slip through the cracks. So, I apologize in advance for the times I do not clear off a listing after it has been sold. Also, on the other side of coin, there will be times I will find a very nice item that I had forgot to put on the “Collection Library” when I first got it. And now I am listing it just when you started looking for it.
*On the subject of trading, please know: When you spot something on my CL Trader/For Sale list that you really want, I need to get something that I can put into my collection, also; or it will be a cash sale. Because, to take in trade something I will in turn have to sell, (that is already in my collection) requires me to work twice as hard to complete the original transaction.
The total amount of chips listed on this site as traders and for sale are approximately 4500. This of course will fluctuate up and down, however this number should afford most collectors looking for a piece to put in their collection at least an opportunity to see a few chips not often offered.
Thanks for taking your time to read over this post, Reggie
*Please read thoroughly
