PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

HORSESHOE CASINO TUNICA, MS

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WHILE LIVING IN TENNESSEE NANCY AND I MADE A COUPLE OF TRIPS A YEAR TO THE TUNICA AREA. WE USUALLY STAYED AT THE GOLD STRIKE IN TUNICA. WITHIN THE CASINO CENTER, THERE WAS THE GOLD SPIKE, HORSESHOE & THE SHERATON/ROADHOUSE CASINOS.
ON ONE OCCASION NANCY AND I WANDERED OVER TO THE OTHER TWO CASINOS FOR HARVESTING AND IDLE CURIOSITY. YOU MUST HAVE HEARD THAT CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT. WELL, IN THIS CASE IT JUST KILLED MY INTEREST IN THE HORSESHOE AT TUNICA FOR LIFE.
I CAME IN THE FRONT DOOR WALKED IT SEEMED LIKE MILES DOWN THE CENTER OF THE CASINO TO THE POKER ROOM. NO SEATS AVAILABLE AND NANCY AND I WERE HUNGRY, AS FAR AS WE COULD SEE WE HAD A CHOICE OF A CHEESY SNACK BAR OR AN ENTIRELY TOO EXPENSIVE STEAK RESTAURANT. WE CHOSE THE CHEESE. THEN SHE TOOK OFF TO PLAY THE MACHINES, I WAS CALLED TO THE POKER TABLE. WHEN I GOT THERE IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS A COUPLE OF LOCALS WITH WAY TOO MUCH TO DRINK OR THAT THEY JUST LIKED TO PLAY MANIAC POKER. THE ENTIRE HORSESHOE CASINO WAS JAMMED A__HOLE TO ELBOWS NO MATTER WHERE YOU LOOKED, AND IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THIS WAS THE SPECIAL DAY THEY SET ASIDE TO GIVE EVERYONE AN ATTITUDE. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS CASINO ONE BIT. I COULD NOT PLAY THE BRAND OF POKER THAT WAS BEING SERVED UP TO ME, SO I CASHED IN AFTER POCKETING MY HARVESTED $1’S AND $5’S. I FOUND NANCY AND BOUGHT SOME SNAPPERS ON THE WAY OUT.
I USUALLY AM PRETTY HAPPY WITH CASINOS, BUT THIS WAS AN EXCEPTION. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE THAT THE GOLD STRIKE DID NOT HAVE, SO WHY PUT UP WITH BS?
I DID GET ENOUGH CHIPS IN MY ONE AND ONLY VISIT TO THE HORSHOE AT TUNICA…REGGIE
