- Good. Recommended. This slick monthly publication started out in newspaper style format as The Player. It has lots of casino advertising but surprisingly has offered some good information on blackjack and related gambling topics. Contributing writers have included Mike Caro, Anthony Curtis, Peter Griffin, Mason Malmuth, Darwin Ortiz, John Patrick, David Sklansky, Stanford Wong and Arnold Snyder. For example, the January 1992 issue has an article by Arnold Snyder entitled "Blackjack in the Great White North". Ace Marketing also publishes two trade publications: Nevada Casino Journal and the New Jersey Casino Journal.

International Gambler's Club Newsletter. (Lance Humble aka Igor Kusyszyn) PO BOX 73, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada L3T 3N1. (Published quarterly since 1974.)
- Recommended with reservations. Quarterly newsletter in publication since 1974 when it was called the International Blackjack Club Newsletter. Lance Humble is the publisher of the Hi-Opt strategies. Although this publication is currently recommended players should be aware that much of the content of this publication (in recent years) has been a copy of Arnold Snyder's and Stanford Wong's material. Humble occasionally publishes an interesting reader's letter and often promotes his harness racing strategies.

Las Vegas Advisor (Formerly Las Vegas Advisor Recommendations). (Anthony Curtis) Huntington Press, PO Box 28041, Las Vegas, NV 89126. (Published monthly since 1983 except 1984, 1985.)
- Excellent. Highly recommended for low stakes players. Lists casinos with $1 minimum games. Excellent coupon reporting. Curtis has even managed to occasionally coax some casinos to offer readers matchplay and other free money coupons. Reports the 10 best deals in Vegas from food, lodging, shows, transportation and gaming. Early issues (1983) included more blackjack information than it currently does.

Rouge et Noir News. (Walter Tyminski) PO BOX 1146, Midlothian, VA 23113. (Published since 1966. Suspended 6/1971 - 8/1974.)
- A casino industry type publication now written mainly for casino executives. Not currently recommended for players. Past issues, however, have carried an excellent coverage of blackjack and are worth reviewing. A full collection of Rouge et Noir back issues is available at the University of Las Vegas Special Collection area.
