I took some of these pictures with a light directly above the table. The facecards have some blue in them, but it's a darker royal type blue that isn't obnoxious. The red is a bright vibrant red, which is cool because it pops off the clean matte background. It's pretty simple, basic, something you could expect. The design on the back in simply enough that if there are small marks, they probably won't be seen easily because of the shape and patter of the spades, but it isn't loud. No logo on the back, no hard design, solid edges. They can simply open a new deck, and replace the card without going through the entire deck setup. This makes a difference if a card gets bent, or needs a replacement on a table. In all 4 decks that we are testing, the print on the back is perfectly symmetrical, and identically matching between all of the decks. There are a few little design things.One being the print on the back of the card. They will stop before flying off the table better than some of these glossy cards on speedcloth. One thing I love about the finish is that they are smooth enough to move across speedcloth, and 'felt' (the old casino nasty shit that gets in your fingernails), but it's just enough so you can toss the cards where you want. The cards feel great.the matte texture is smooth, not slick and shiny.

It's not quite that extreme, but it can be a serious issue for dealers that have become comfortable using standard thickness decks. Think of poker dealers almost holding a double deck pitch game. It's slightly harder as far as game protection goes to keep cards held securely the thicker the deck. The thickness also leads to some exposed card potential issues. Dealers with small hands would notice a difference for sure in any casino that doesn't use Bridge cards for their poker games. This makes the 'Poker' size cards feel like monsters. It's unlikely you'll see any of these decks in major casinos unless we get a software update. They are nearly 8-10 cards thicker than some of our Copaqs, Gemaco, Bee paper and KEM and a few private sets that we use for testing. I'll try to get some more pictures this week of some bridge size.but the thickness is causing some trouble in the Deckmate Shufflers.
