Hello Chippers; Here is a short story from yours truly or a guest author of our experiences while harvesting somewhere in the gaming world. A few are from countries out side the USA. Most are entertaining and most are instructive as to what to do or what not to do while harvesting chips from casinos or card rooms. Reggie

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

WILDHORSE RESORT & CASINO PENDLETON, OR

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WILDHORSE RESORT AND CASINO ARE NOT IN GREATER PENDLETON. MORE SO, THEY ARE ABOUT 5-10 MILES OUT OF THE CITY ITSELF.
MY FIRST AND ONLY VISIT, I ARRIVED THERE DURING A SPECIAL JAMBOREE FESTIVAL. DO NOT REMEMBER THE ACTUAL NAME, BUT AM PRETTY SURE IT WASN’T ONE OF THEIR ROUND UP DAYS WHEN THEY MADE THE SPECIAL CHIPS FOR THE KNOWN PLAYERS OF THEIR TOURNAMENT.
WHEN I DROVE IN WITH MY BURGANDY EDDIE BAUER EDITION OF THE FAIRLY NEW FORD EXPEDITION, IT FIT IN PRETTY GOOD WITH ALL THE LARGE TRUCKS, RV’S AND SUV’S PARKED WITH THEIR TENTS, TRAILERS ETC.
I ALSO REALIZED WHILE DRIVING IN, IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO HARVEST OR OBTAIN ANY CHIPS. I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT, THE BRUSH BOARD WAS LONG, BUT I NEEDED TO EAT, AND LOOK AROUND AND PURCHASE OTHER SOUVENIERS OF MY VISIT TO THE FAMOUS WILDHORSE CASINO.
EVENTUALLY, I GOT ON A TABLE, AND IT WAS THE USUAL INDIAN CASINO GAME OF HOLDEM, WILD AS HECK. I WAS NOT DOING TO WELL ON THE TABLE, AND THE ROAD TO WALLA WALLA WAS CALLING ME, SO I COUNTED OUT MY CHIPS TO THE CASHIER AND KEPT WHAT I NEEDED AND HIT THE ROAD.
I DID INDEED GET ENOUGH OF THE CHIPS I NEEDED, LESS OF COURSE, THE SPECIAL $5 ROUND-UP CHIPS WITH POKER PLAYERS PICTURES ON THEM…REGGIE
