This focused collection covers card-counting history, notable gamblers and related casino stories. It includes our articles on Bill Benter, Zeljko Ranogajec and the history of card counting, together with wider coverage of casino controversies.
These articles provide historical and explanatory context rather than a promise of gambling income. Card counting relates to particular blackjack conditions and should not be confused with a system that guarantees a win. Casino rules and conduct policies need separate consideration. Read the full article to understand its time period and scope, and use our blackjack guides for an introduction to the game itself.
