Until last Saturday, I had never "harvested" a roulette chip.
Today I picked up the rest of the colors. The pit boss was telling people to take whatever chips they wanted. The players were exchanging chips with other players in order to get every color. At that point it was no longer "harvesting" but rather it was truly "preserving gaming history.
The nice part was that I hit 4 numbers straight-up within 10 minutes. Then I went to the Let it Ride table and won my last bet at the Ho with a nickle bet for the dealers.
I'm glad I was there today.
Goodbye ol' girl......
