A work trip to Manitoba allowed me to pick up a "Casinos of Winnipeg" chip. There are two pretty big casinos in Winnipeg, and the two are linked. One is called Club Regent Casino and the other is McPhillips Station Casino. They have the same chip, which kind of bummed me out.
I visited Club Regent (with plans to go to McPhillips also) on my way to the airport. I ran inside to get a chip at the cage but was told I had to get chips at the table. So, I found an empty table and asked the dealer for a chip. I told him I collected them and asked if they had anything other than the standard house chip and he said no, and that the other casino (McPhillips) had the same chip, so it saved me a trip for nothing. Club Regent was a tropical themed casino, McPhillips a train station themed one.
The dealer then asked me where I was from and we had the following, brief, discussion.
Me - "Michigan."
Him - "What are you doing up in Winnipeg"
Me - "Filming some shows for the Outdoor Channel, goose and duck hunting."
Him - "You a Lions fan?"
Me - "I guess so."
Him - "What's up with their quarterback. Fucking guy is KILLING my fantasy team. I might have to cut him, eh?"
Me - "Yeah, that's a tough one. So, uh, thanks for the chip."
The Detroit Lions. Disappointing Canadians everywhere.
