HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
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.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

NORTHERN WINZ CASINO BOX ELDER, MT

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

This accounting of a harvest is very special to me. This casino is about 25 miles from where yours truly spent his childhood years. So it meant I was making a trip to see my family and friends in Northern Montana. This I believe was the second trip to this casino. And it was the typical summer day in northern MT, windy and partly cloudy.
Nancy and I both were ready for a rest stop break, after driving from Bozeman to Helena to Great Falls and finally stopping again before travelling another 20 miles in to Havre, MT where our reservations were for the evening. Box Elder is a small town of about 200-300 people, as is my home town of Gildford, MT. So we stopped, to do a quick harvest and take a rest break.
When we walked in I asked the cashier if they had had any one turn in any of the Grand Opening chips.(Denominations are $1 & $5) See CG: http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=MTBENW The young lady said, let me check the vault. And to my suprise after a short wait she came back and said I only have 35 $1 GO’s and 7 $5 GO’s. How many do you want? Needless to say, I said I would like them all. This time I had no regrets about buying enough and never stopped smiling all the way back to California. (Where I lived at the time)
This was and still is my most favorite story of my harvesting stories. Loved it…Reggie
