Spring 2007 Blackjack Tournaments - Ultimate Blackjack Tour Events - Independent Blackjack Events


The success of the Ultimate Blackjack Tour on CBS has fuelled an interest in competitive blackjack. The pro circuit has a full spring schedule. In fact, it is so full, that two of the tournaments are on the same weekend. Here are the next four tournaments on the docket.

Ultimate Blackjack Tour Event - April 18 through 21

Palms Casino, Las Vegas

This is the inaugural U.S. event for the Ultimate Blackjack Tour. With the television coverage, fans should flock to this event. It should be the talk of Vegas on the weekend of April 20 and 21.

Players who reach the final table will appear on CBS coverage of the event. Sign up now. The entry fee is $2,700, so the jackpot should be huge.

$250,000 Blackjack Tournament - April 19 through 21

Horseshoe Casino, Tunica, Mississippi

The same weekend, a $250,000 event is being held in the deep south. Horseshoe Tunica is trying to keep up with Vegas, and this is the biggest blackjack event the Mississippi casino has ever held. It's nice to see they've recovered enough from Hurricane Katrina to host such a big event. The entry fee for this one is $1,000. If you're in the area and you think you're a blackjack master, you might consider taking a shot at the prize.

A Weeklong BlackJack Tournament - May 20 through 27, 2007

Cherokee Casino, Tulsa, Oklahoma

This is a series of events with entry fees ranging between $100 to $300. If the four figure entry fees are a little too steep for you, these are tournaments that might be more in your range. This continues a string of Oklahoma tournaments organized by Eric Woods, the tournament director of this particular set of events. Approval of The Oklahoma State Gaming Board is still pending, so call ahead to confirm the games are still "on".

Ultimate Blackjack Tour Circuit Event - May 30, 2007

Spirit Mountain Casino, Grand Ronde, Oregon

Here is another low-priced tournament, this one from the Ultimate Blackjack Tour. You can qualify for the UBT with a $500 entry fee. There might be an additional nominal administrative fee at the site. With the famous brand name and smaller fees, the crowd should be huge for this one. That means the payoffs will be equally large.
