And now let’s look closer to Wong’s books about blackjack.

Professional Blackjack

This is the book of card counting advice actually: you can find there a lot of tables which describe this or that rules variation and the ways how to behave if you have this or that card combination. Professional Blackjack will not give you many interesting and long stories about the game itself and its players but help you to learn how to play this game professionally and improve your skills there.

It was published in 1975 first and republished many times afterwards.

Blackjack Secrets

This book was published in 1993 and included much advice for skilled card counters as well as many exciting stories told by blackjack professional players. It is a great book for those people who are interested in learning about the card game of blackjack but you would not find here any information about how to count cards.

Basic Blackjack

Published in 1992 by Pi Yee Press (Wong’s own publishing house), this paperback described the blackjack basic strategyand player’s steps for all blackjack variations which could be met during a game. Well, if you play blackjack where all rules are the same, you will probably not find anything completely new for yourself, but anyway it would be very interesting to read about all the rules variations and bonuses you can be offered.

Tournament Blackjack

This book is actually a paperback and it was first published in 1987; Tournament Blackjack was actually a pre-version of Wong’s book Casino Tournament Strategy: its texts were included to Casino Tournament Strategy afterwards.

Vegas Downtown Blackjack

The first edition of this book took place in 1978: it described and explained the methods of winning at blackjack for those ones who preferred to play particularly in Las Vegas. All explanations are simply described and can be easily understood by everyone as they were written by a real blackjack strategies’ master.

Here everyone can buy any of Wong books and read more information about them.
