What are the dimensions of casino playing cards?

Question

I have a job as a trainee in a casino and they said its ideal to practice at home.

I know i need 100% plastic cards like in the casino, but what is the size of offical playing cards in UK casinos?

I should of asked at work but forgot and im on a few days off now and I want to buy some before i go back.

Any suggestions of what type of shops in a city centre will sell them will be helpful.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Poker cards are 3.5" (88.9mm)height and 2.5" (63.5mm) wide.

You'll be same with any plastic poker cards, just be sure you do not buy Bridge Cards which are 2.25" (57.15mm) wide.

Answer 2

Many of the major casinos use standard "Bicycle" brand playing cards, but they are re-labeled for their specific casino.

In today’s market, some high-quality products are available. There are some specific treatments on cards surface - such as calendering and linen finishing - that guarantee performance for either professional or domestic use.
