I bet they can, and do.

Im in Europe, you in US. I bet you know better. But still it looks borderline lavish

No casino can afford to change deck of Kem daily

While I doubt the NEED to change them daily they certainly could AFFORD to do it. Assuming that the casino are buying them for at least 30% less than the public, the rake on a $1/3 game would pay for a new deck every 3-4 hands.

Just the Borgata alone (my favorite casino) brought in almost $80M a month in 2022 in profits.

When you right, you are right.

I edited for clarification. That was profits…not revenue.

I have currently have 12 individual decks as well. Been storing them upside down with a cut card and later with a a cut card and dealer button on top. All 12 are completely flat. I do this with other acetate cards as well.

Just adding another data point to this. Per my earlier post in this thread, I started doing this trick a month ago when I bought a new setup of KEMs, with the addition of two rubber bands to hold the lid tightly to the box. Have played a few games since then. So far so good -- the cards are no more bowed than when they arrived. By contrast, previous KEMs I bought got bowed within a couple weeks when I just kept them in the box without anything pressing down on the decks. So this trick appears to work.

Perhaps Casino KEMs are switched out very often, either end of each shift or every day.

The are switched out often, but I've seen that those decks that are switched out are reused again in other shifts.
