RGE Publishing was founded in 1980 with the publication of our first book, The Blackjack Formula (now out of print), by Arnold Snyder. Since our inception, we have concentrated on casino blackjack, the only true game of skill among the casino table games, our primary aim to educate players about the methods professionals use to beat the casinos. We have published books, periodicals, technical reports, software and videos on this subject. More recently, we have begun to branch out into related topics, with a book due out this fall by two prominent attorneys on gambling laws, a controversial title this winter on how casinos cheat players, written by a former Nevada Gaming Control agent, and another this spring on how to beat slot machines. Although we intend to continue concentrating on various aspects of casino gambling, this fall we will be publishing our first non-gambling title, a parody: The Seven Spiritual Laws of Making Big Bucks.For over thirteen years blackjack expert Don Schlesinger has been answering the questions of serious blackjack players and readers of Blackjack Forum magazine. He has contributed columns, letters and articles to more than 50 different issues of Blackjack Forum, and they have been gathered in this book.This is not a book that will teach you how to play blackjack, or how to count cards.

This is the book you should read after you learn how to do those things. Almost any dedicated player can learn how to count cards, but very few ultimately become successful card counters. Of those who make it, you can bet a good number of them have been reading Don Schlesinger's articles for the past 13 years.
