HARVEST ADVENTURES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR

BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES; YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I WAS NEVER 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 CAN.

PAIUTE PALACE CASINO BISHOP, CA

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

PAIUTE PALACE IS LOCATED RIGHT ON HIGHWAY 395 THAT RUNS FROM I-15 AT THE TOP OF EL CAJON PASS, UP TO AND PAST RENO, NV. IT IS LOCATED AT THE NORTH END OF BISHOP CA. A VERY NICE AND WELCOME PIT STOP FOR CHIPPERS.
I WOULD STOP THERE ALMOST EVERY TIME I USED HIGHWAY 395. ONE OF THE LAST TIMES I VISITED THIS SMALL INDIAN CASINO I WAS DETERMINED TO FIND THE LAST 3 ANNIVERSARY $5 CHIPS I NEEDED.
MANY TIMES I WOULD STOP WHEN THEY HAD THEIR ANNIVERSARY FESTIVITIES, BUT THIS PARTICULAR TIME IT WAS FAIRLY EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THERE WAS VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE CASINO.
THE DAY SUPERVISOR WAS A YOUNGER INDIAN LADY, AND YOU COULD TELL “SHE WAS IN CHARGE”. I SAT DOWN AT THE BLACK JACK TABLE WITHOUT ANY INTENTIONS OF PLAYING AND STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION WITH THE “BOSS”. I TOLD HER I HAD BEEN COLLECTING FOR SOME TIME INDIAN CASINO CHIPS AND WE TALK A BIT ABOUT ALL OF THE OTHER CASINOS IN THE AREA, AND I SHOWED HER MY CC-GTCC CARD, THAT IMPRESSED HER A BIT AND I ASKED IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO LOOK FOR THESE IN THE CAGE? SHE SAID I WILL DO BETTER THAN THAT; WE WILL CHECK THE TABLES AS WELL. THERE WERE I BELIEVE 6 BLACKJACK TABLES AND ONE CRAPS TABLE AND SOME HOUSE GAMES. AND YES WE DID PROCEED TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM. HOWEVER, AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT; IT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG. WHEN I LEFT, I LEFT A NICE TIP FOR THE CASHIER AND THE BLACKJACK PLAYER AND TOLD THEM TO SHARE WITH THE “BOSS” IN SOME WAY IF THEY COULD. I HAVE TO SAY IN THIS HARVEST, I GOT WHAT I CAME FOR…REGGIE
