Pretty cool cards

Calavitta · Dec 28, 2007

Hey Guys and Gals,
Anyone seen in these cards before? They have a really cool back design. Take a look.

Ummm the back design look like any old cheap casino cards you can get for about a dollar...

Krash · Dec 28, 2007

Hmm...

I would imagine that they might handle like Wynns considering that they share the same finish, but then again...I could be way off base. Those jokers look pretty neat too.

Thanks for sharing!

yea, they might be similar... but there's just something about Wynns!

Those are pretty interesting Calivitta. I don't find them incredible to look at, but they are very intresting and unique.

They look horrible to me..

I don't like how the logos are in the four corners.

It just doesn't seem to fit.

Yea, I can see what your saying. They are cool looking Bee logos, but the placement and over all design makes it kind of odd.... I still think they are cool though. I like how the back fades into the border.

I personally don't like the backs of the Bee deck. I don't know why, it just looks too plain to me. The only reason why I would use them is for a casino false shuffle and production of the Black Jacks taught in The Trilogy.

The jokers look okay.

AntonHolmes · Dec 31, 2007

they should handle pretty much the same as the Wynn decks.
Most of the casino decks are Bees or very similar if I'm correct.
The slightly older Wynn decks look almost the same as this design with out the stampings in the corners. However they may be there as security if the casino is still in operation so that these cards stand out if they are introduced in to a game at a table.

Calavitta · Dec 31, 2007

Do you mean the stamps could be some sort of cancellation mark? It's kind of a crappy picture, so it's hard to tell, but it looks like the bee logos are a part of the printing/back design. Hard to tell, but that's an interesting idea though. Thanks!

when casino's (here at least) sell the cards that have been used on the floor they modify them slighty. Cut a corner shorter, or punch a hole in the deck, so that the cards can't be played on the table with out the dealer spotting them. To avoid people buying the cards, learning some slights and cheating at the tables.

I know about the cut corners and stuff, I was asking if you thought the logos were markings because they were used. These cards say they have never been used, thus why would they need canceling, or marking? Thats what I was trying to get across, sorry for the confusion. Thanks!

If that design is still being used at the casino then it would still need to be marked in some way regardless of whether or not the cards had been used at the tables.
