SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, WELL THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO WRITE, NEVER WAS 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 KNOW.

CHUKCHANSI GOLD CASINO IS ABOUT 30+ MILES NORTH OF FRESNO CA. ON THE SAME HIGHWAY THAT WOULD TAKE YOU TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.
SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE RUNNING GUN BATTLES THAT TWO OF THE FACTIONS WITHIN THE SAME BAND OF INDIANS; THAT OWN THE CASINO, WERE TRYING TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES RIGHT THEN AND THERE. APPARENTLY THE STATE HAS STEPPED IN AND MANDATED THE SETTLEMENT OF THE TWO WARING BANDS OF INDIANS. AND THEY HAVE REOPENED, THIS IS RECENT HISTORY.
WHEN NANCY AND I WENT UP THERE IT WAS A HOLIDAY TRIP DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO. WE HAD A NICE HOLIDAY VISITING WITH MY TWO BOYS AND MY GRAND CHILDREN WHILE EVERYONE WAS IN FRESNO.
WE HAD MADE RESERVATIONS FOR ONE NIGHT THERE AT THE CHUKCHANSI GOLD. WITH PLANS TO HIT THE FOLLOWING CASINOS: BIG SANDY RANCERIA (MONO WINDS), TABLE MOUNTAIN CASINO, CLUB ONE & THE 500 CLUB.
WE REALLY LIKED THE HOTEL AND CASINO, AND I DID VERY WELL WITH HARVESTING, BUT NOT SO WELL ON GAMBLING END. THE HARDEST CHIP TO SCORE WAS THE $3 DROP CHIP AND YOU HAD TO SWEET TALK THE POKER ROOM CASHIER, SHE CAME ON DUTY AROUND MIDNIGHT. SO BY THE TIME I HARVESTED THE $3’s I WAS READY FOR BED.
IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL TRIP ALL AROUND. AND ON THE WAY HOME WE TOOK THE LONG WAY AROUND BACK THROUGH PORTERVILLE, AND HIT EAGLE MOUNTAIN CASINO. THEY HAD NOTHING NEW, BUT WE GOT A COMMEMORTATIVE CHIP, I DID NOT HAVE.
I DID NOT GET ENOUGH DROP CHIPS AT CHUKCHANSI GOLD. IT WAS ANOTHER WONDERFUL HARVESTING OUTING WITH A LOT OF SIGHT SEEING AND VISITING OF FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. REGGIE
