PUBLICATIONS

Editor note: This section requires a major update. Listings below are only current as of 1993.

Blackjack Monthly. (Robert Gates) Richard Canfield & Associates, PO BOX 2830, Escondido, CA 92025. (619) 480-8405 (Published monthly from 1987 - 199?.)
- Good. Recommended. Provided good reporting of blackjack games in Las Vegas, Laughlin and Atlantic City. A feature article was usually included with playing tips, "tell" of the month, and a schedule of tournaments. Source of Canfield's systems, books, videos, and software. No casino advertising.

Blackjack Review. (Michael Dalton) Spur of the Moment Publishing, PO BOX 541967, Merritt Island, FL 32954. (407) 452-2957 phone and FAX. (Published quarterly from Summer 1992 - Winter 1998) INDEX AVAILABLE
- This quarterly publication is published by the author of this book. It provided best bets in Las Vegas, Reno/Lake Tahoe, Laughlin, Atlantic City, the riverboats, Indian reservations, cruise ships and other locations. In depth reporting of casino conditions across the country and advice for beginners as well as the experienced pro. No casino advertising.

Boardwalker International. (Michael Borowitz) Atlantic City, NJ. (1977 - 198?)
- A monthly magazine (min 9 issues/year) that primarily covered Atlantic City games. Past issues have carried featured articles and interviews with Michael Borowitz, "Dominic", Peter Demos, Julian Braun, Lance Humble, Jerry Patterson, Arnold Snyder, Ken Uston, and Stanford Wong.

Casino & Sports. Gambler's Book Club Press, Las Vegas, NV. (28 volumes known to exist.) (1977-1985?)
- Excellent. Highly recommended. An offshoot of Systems and Methods magazine. This publication was published by the GBC in Las Vegas from 1977 to about 1985. This bi-monthly digest covers all aspects of casino gaming and sports betting. It also contains a wealth of blackjack material with inputs and articles by some of the most respected blackjack authorities. At time of writing, all issues could still be purchased as a group from the GBC.

Experts Blackjack Newsletter. (Stanley Sludikoff aka Stanley Roberts) Gambling Times Inc., 16760 Stagg St. #213, Van Nuys, CA 91406. (19?? - 19??)
- Not recommended. Published off and on since 1982 by the folks that brought you Gambling Times & WIN Magazine. This publication has occasionally carried some good blackjack material over the years, however, in my opinion, it currently contains a lot of unreliable and controversial material. Contrary to its title, you probably won't find experts like Arnold Snyder, Stanford Wong, and Michael Dalton writing articles here. It seems that Sludikoff doesn't even acknowledge that Wong and Snyder exist anymore...what a shame! In 1991 Stanley Roberts advertised his School of Winning Blackjack 3-day instruction seminars in Southern California. Only $895 tuition and you too can be an expert!

The Gambling Prospector. (Dewey Bryan) Token Press, 8174 S. Holly, Suite 112, Littleton, CO 80122. (800) 227-6465. (Published monthly since 1991)
- Very good. Highly recommended for players in the Colorado area. This publication is fashioned after the Las Vegas Advisor. It includes a top 10 list (called The Ten Most Wanted) and best bet advice for the blackjack games around the state.

Gambling Times Magazine. (Stanley Sludikoff aka Stanley Roberts) Gambling Times Incorporated, Van Nuys, CA. (Published monthly from February 1977 to April 1988.)
- Good. Recommended with reservations. You will find a wealth of material here which documents some of the history of card counting. This was a slick newsstand publication covering all aspects of casino gambling. This publication is an outlet for Stanley Roberts school of blackjack, books, and materials. Reintroduced in 1990 as WIN Magazine. See WIN Magazine.

Ken Uston's Blackjack Newsletter. (Ken Uston) Philadelphia, PA. (1979-81 bound)
- Good. Recommended. Formerly called Ken Uston's Newsletter on Blackjack. First issue dated July/Aug 1979. A bit old and outdated but makes for interesting reading. All issues were bound into a single volume.

Stanford Wong's Blackjack Newsletters: Including Blackjack World, Nevada Blackjack, Current Blackjack News. (Bound annually) (Stanford Wong) Pi Yee Press, La Jolla, CA, (Vol.1 - 6, 1979-84) INDEX AVAILABLE
- Excellent. Highly recommended. Contains valuable information not available elsewhere. See section 3.11 for index of these newsletters.

Systems and Methods. Published by the Gambler's Book Club in Las Vegas. (1974-198? NO LONGER PUBLISHED)
