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

KLA-MO-YA CASINO CHILOQUIN, OREGON

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE OREGON COAST WE VENTURED INLAND TO THE NATIONAL PARK AT CRATER LAKE. WE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF A MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON TAKING IN THE AWESOME BEAUTY OF THIS NATIONAL PARK. THEN WE HAD THE TASK OF NEGOTIATING THE DOWNHILL SIDE, THE SOUTHERN END THAT TOOK US TO THE KLA-MO-YA CASINO.
I HAVE TO SAY, I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT MUCH ABOUT THIS CASINO. IT WAS SMALL, BUILT LIKE A HUNTING LODGE, BUT VERY COMFORTABLE. WHEN I WAS READY TO ASK FOR CHIPS AT THE CAGE, I WAS PRETTY SURE OF WHAT THE ANSWER WAS GOING TO BE; I WAS RIGHT; GO TO THE TABLES FOR THE CHIPS.
NANCY WAS BUSY AT THE MACHINES, AND WE HAD TO FIND A RV PARK BEFORE IT GOT DARK SO, I SAT DOWN AT THE BLACKJACK TABLE AND COMMENCE TO PASS THE TIME. I COULDN’T GET ANYWHERE ON THE 21 TABLE BUT I WAS BREAKING DOWN THE CHIPS TO WHAT I NEEDED, THE $1 CHIPS; AND ALL THE TIME STAYING EVEN. STAYING EVEN IS WINNING IN MY BOOK. I GREW TIRED OF THE BLACKJACK TABLE, AND GATHERED UP NANCY ON THE WAY OUT I ASK THE SECURITY GUARD ABOUT RV PARKS, HE SAID THERE IS AN OREGON STATE RV PARK ABOUT 6 MILES NORTH OF HERE. THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD WE THOUGHT, IT WAS RELATIVELY CHEAP AS WELL, WE WERE ABLE TO SET UP SHOP AND HAVE OUR EVENING MEAL BEFORE IT GOT DARK AS WELL.
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE CASINO, I HAD LEFT THERE WITH MORE CHIPS THAN I NEEDED, AND I WAS HAPPY WITH THAT, YES I DID GET PLENTY…REGGIE
