Interesting. Why do you say that? Why are these baccarat vs. blackjack, or the other table games that do not use Jokers, spread by the Palazzo? I have opened several of these decks, and the cards all lay flat. Also, the tuck boxes have the black, GEMACO tuck-flap security sticker under the "...Used in Actual Play..." sticker.

I guess anything (in Vegas) is possible, but I thought baccarat decks typically came in multi-deck bricks of 6 - 8, pre-shuffled decks.

I am very interested in why you say baccarat, as I do not wish to misrepresent what these decks are. I look forward to your reply, as part of my education.

Thanks, Jim

Ohh lol I was just thinking if should buy these and play baccarat lol basically they will be bent and killed after each hand

So these are definitely NOT baccarat cards. Large index is bad for bending the cards. Good for blackjack. Small index would be challenging for blackjack and ideal for baccarat.

Also I bought several bricks of cards from Hotus and can tell you large index does not work for Baccarat.

@DirtyTIVA... Thank you for that!

I was pretty certain that they were not baccarat, given that I opened a few decks and the cards lay perfectly flat. Moreover, most baccarat decks come in a pre-shuffled, 6 - 8 deck brick, sans individual tuck boxes. As to my education, thank you for the large index observation being bad for baccarat!!!

Your post was very helpful.

FWIW... These images are from GEMACO's website, just because I thought they were interesting.

I don't think these would be at the blackjack tables either. They don't conform to the Tech-Art indexes for peek devices.

Maybe these were used in poker table games? Like 3-Card poker?

These are used for table game carnival (poker) games such as 3 card poker, Mississippi Stud, Let it Ride, etc.
