In 2016, Michael Dalton and the Blackjack Review Network began a Blackjack History Database Project. There were two aspects to the project:
- Collect exact (or approximate) dates for any and all historical events that are blackjack related.
- Create a database user interface tool so users can search and view these events.
You can check out the current development at:
- Blackjack and Card Counting History (Introduction)

https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/historical-events/tool/ - Blackjack History Research Topics
https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/historical-events/research/
Current categories (event types) in the database are:
- Blackjack Ball
- Barrings
- Births
- Casino closings
- Casino openings
- Deaths
- Entertainment
- Interviews
- Legal
- Losses (team play and otherwise)
- Miscellaneous
- Retirements
- Systems
- Teams
- Websites
- Movies / Shows
- Publish Dates
- Wins (team play and otherwise)
As of February 2018, I have managed to record over 400 events in the database. My goal is to double this number by the end of the year… but I need your help. If you know of a blackjack historical event that is not already listed, I want to hear from you.
Please submit your event using our contact form, leave a comment below or email me at [email protected]. If possible, please provide as much detail and/or proof of the event.
If you want to speak to me in person, just email me your phone number or request that I send you my phone number.
Thank you,
Michael Dalton
