Key West Resort & Casino playing cards are designed by J5 Design and made by Liberty Playing Card Company of Texas. They're limited-edition, numbered, poker size and jumbo index, perfect for use on a large poker table, and are printed on Liberty's proprietary "Imperial Linen" coated card stock.

The custom back design is unique, and bears the casino logo, end-on-end, like other casino cards. The decks come in two unique back colors, Imperial Blue and Red, color-matched to the Key West Resort & Casino NCV and $5 chips.The beautiful full tuck boxes feature a "casino use" note area, just like cards from a real casino. They're perfect for your weekly game, casino night, tournament or poker party, and make great giveaways and prizes, too.

Custom back design and colors

J5's elegant "Casino Diamond Back" design.
In 2012, J5 Design was tasked with creating a playing card for the Key West Resort & Casino, as if the casino actually existed. Artist John Faulhaber, who designed the original Key West Resort & Casino chip inlay, used the traditional design of a casino card, with a "Key West" twist -- a brand new back design exclusive to these cards. Called the "casino diamond back" (©), the full-bleed back design is CMYK color-matched to two of the ASM Key West chip colors -- the $1 live chip (Imperial blue) and $5 (red). You won't find these colors in the catalogs of  the big card manufacturers, or anywhere else. The result is a playing card that looks and feels like it came from the tables of a real casino.

Custom "Casino Ace of Spades"

Each deck also features a custom "casino ace," the Ace of Spades, with the casino name on the face of the card and the casino logo beautifully blended into the spade by the artist.

Liberty's propriety "Imperial Linen" stock was used to make these decks. It's their top-of-the-line material, and gives the deck an expensive "casino" feel. You can actually see and feel the difference in these decks.

Liberty uses its original, "jumbo" index artwork to create these playing cards. The  size is perfect for use on a large card table, and features beautiful traditional court cards in deep, rich colors.

As you can see from the photo, the size is larger than a "standard" index deck, and not quite as large as other "jumbo" cards from the big card manufacturers. The cards are easy to see and read from a distance, reducing errors  during play.


Packaging
Unlike other cards made for retail stores, these great cards come with the cards cellophane wrapped at the factory, then placed inside the tuck boxes, which are sealed with a custom deck seal. Each deck is sequentially numbered. Effective Dec. 1, 2012, the boxes were tagged with unique numbers on the bottom flap.

Prices: Decks are sold in red and blue pairs. In small quantities, playing cards are $3 per deck. At 12 or more decks, they're $2.89, plus shipping.
