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.

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES

IMPERIAL PALACE BILOXI, MS

By:RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER

ON A RAINY NIGHT IN BILOXI, WE SCHEDULED A HARVEST STOP AT THE IMPERIAL PALACE. THEY HAD NOT EVEN FINISHED THEIR REPAIRS FROM THE DAMAGES OF KATRINA AT THE TIME. I REMEMBER SOME PRECARIOUS CROSSINGS FROM SHORE TO THE ACTUAL RIVERBOAT PORTION OF THE CASINO.
MY MEMORY ALSO IS THAT THE PLACE WAS EXTREMELY CROWED. I HAVE A FEELING IT WAS THEIR FISH BUFFETT. HERE IS A GLIMPSE OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THEY HAD ESCALATORS THAT SPANNED TWO FLOORS. WHEN YOU WENT UP OR DOWN YOU COULD NOT SEE A PATCH OF THE CARPETING ANYWHERE AND THERE WAS A PERSON ON EVERY STEP OF THE ESCALATORS GOING UP OR DOWN. I THINK THE BUFFETT WAS ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
I WENT UP TO THE POKER ROOM, THERE WERE NO EXTRA CHAIRS FOR WAITING ON THE BRUSH LIST. SO I HAD TO STAND, I HAD ALREADY WENT TO THE CASHIER FOR A RACK OF CHIPS OF WHICH I WENT THROUGH AND THEN I GRABBED A COUPLE OF NICKEL CHIPS. THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING MORE I COULD DO WHILE WAITING FOR A POKER SEAT, AND I SAID TO MYSELF THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I HAD BEEN WAITING OVER AN HOUR, SO I HOOKED UP WITH NANCY, GRABBED A COUPLE OF SNAPPERS FROM THE BLACK JACK TABLE; BY BEING RUDE AND PUSHY. THAT IS NOT MY NATURE BUT SOMETIMES NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION…LOL.
THEN WE HAD TO WALK THE PLANK AGAIN, OFF OF THE RIVERBOAT. I DID NOT GET ENOUGH OF THESE CHIPS, ESPECIALLY THE SNAPPERS. THIS IS NOT A CASINO THAT I WOULD RUSH TO GET BACK TO, EITHER; HOWEVER THAT BEING SAID I THINK IF IT WAS NOT QUITE AS CROWDED IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FUN CASINO…REGGIE
