The GameMaster's Blackjack School

A brief introduction.

Welcome to The GameMaster's Blackjack School. For those who aren't familiar with it, this is a series of 24 written lessons that can teach you how to play a winning game of Blackjack.

When the state of Missouri legalized casino gaming in 1994, I developed a course of instruction that would show people how to get an edge over the Blackjack games. This course, which was taught by me at my home, originally cost $400 and that included all of the training materials, four "classroom" sessions of about 2 hours each, which were spread out over a four-week period and one playing session where I went to a local casino with my graduates in order to assess their skills in the heat of battle, so to speak.

In 1995, I was one of the founders of Rolling Good Times Online (rgtonline.com), the Internet's first gambling "E-zine" and that was when I began converting my course into a series of written lessons for presentation as a free, Internet-based school. Those lessons have been updated as needed over the years and have been licensed to appear on more than 100 gambling-related websites, but you have now found the original source.

This is THE place to start.

Blackjack is a game of skill and this is where you can learn the skills it takes to beat the game.

The 24 lessons you see here will take you step-by-step through the process of learning how to play each hand properly, how to count cards, how and when to properly bet and literally hundreds of other "tricks of the trade". The course is long, but this is not something you have to learn overnight. Take your time, do what we say and you'll soon be on your way to playing a winning game of Blackjack. (If you play online blackjack, it's good to know that most reshuffle the deck or decks after each round of play, so some of the techiques we teach here will not apply.)

Start at Lesson 1 and go as far and as fast as you wish. The thrill of winning at casino Blackjack is literally at your fingertips. You may contact me, The GameMaster, via e-mail and I will personally answer any questions you may have.

The first 12 lessons - what I call the Basic Course - is available on a DVD, which you can learn more about by clicking the link over there on your right.
