BLACKJACK TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
MINI-TOURNAMENTS
Most mini-tournaments (also known as fun tournaments) have entry fees of $50 or less and nonnegotiable tournament chips are used for betting. Player entry fees are pooled and returned as prizes to players.
Casinos that offer mini-tournaments do so on a regular basis (mostly weekly). Call the casino for tournament times and entry fees.
If you know of recent changes to any tournament listed, please pass it along to www.bjinsider.com so that we can update the information in our schedule.

MAJOR TOURNAMANTS
The following table lists the date, name and location of the sponsoring casino; the fee for entering the tournament; the number of decks of cards that will be used during play; the total prizes that will be offered including the amount for finishing first; and a telephone number to obtain more details. Since tournament dates and prizes can be changed or canceled sometimes at the last minute, please call and confirm.
Note: The entry fee for most tournaments includes a free or discounted room and meal(s) – check with the sponsoring casino for details. The prizes listed below included the total to be given out followed by the amount of money that can be won for finishing first (e.g. $40K/$20K means a total of $40,000 will be given away with $20,000 going to the first place winner). If only one total is shown, that is the prize pool. Tournaments that are starred (*) require an invitation from the participating casino; however, check with the casino tournament coordinator if you could still enter.
