Casinos look to sell these used decks of cards to the general public, but before doing so they'll either burn the corners of the cards or puncture a tiny hole through them in order to prevent cheating. GPI manufactures and supplies equipment to licensed casinos under the brand names of Paulson®, Bourgogne et Grasset® and Bud Jones®.Īt a certain point, cards are no longer in their preferred 'mint' or nearly new condition. The jokers were discarded when the deck was opened for play, as they were not required, and as such don't often survive.
The courts include the logo of the Princess cruise line, which is rather unusual. Above: ‘Gemaco’ playing cards custom-produced for the Princess Cruises Casino (on board ship one assumes).
