The first annual Blackjack Ball began in 1997, in Max Rubin’s basement. This event was to celebrate the greatest blackjack players, experts and authors. According to Max, 32 people were in attendance. Wally Simmons won the Blackjack Cup trophy in 1997, for the World’s Greatest Blackjack Player.
On March 15, 2022, the Blackjack Hall of Fame became a 501c3 non-profit corporation which allows the Blackjack Ball to have a charitable purpose.
