    These are cards used with peeker devices, and are not available to the general public. The system depicted above is an alternative to MaxTime. See this link for an explanation of MaxTime peekers and the card manufacturers who can produce cards for MaxTime:

    I have some. In my day (don't know if they do it anymore), when casinos were done with cards, they often gave them away at the cage. All you had to do was ask for them. High rollers could often get entire boxes (a dozen?) of slightly used cards. In addition, many casinos sell used decks in their gift shops. So that they can't be reintroduced on a game, the cards often have holes punched in the middle or have the corners cut off. But, if the cards were the kind marked for the peek device, those black marks would remain.

    Most casinos still do, Don. Some give them away and some sell them for $1/box. I've never gotten them at the cage - either in the table games pit or gift shop.

    I find they are at security more often than anything. They are happy to give them away as there are so many decks each day. I get them 10 at a time for free.

    Ah, the good ol' days! Used to go right up to the cage at Caesars and ask them for cards. Always came away with a couple of decks.

    A lot of casinos will give you 12 decks of cards (1 case) if you ask. They will have holes etc cut in them so they can't be used.

    Sorry, I assumed you wanted new cards. The others are correct that you can get used ones from most every casino.

    My local casino gives them away after they punch a hole thru them. I believe they are difficult to shuffle after hole is punched.

    I bought a discard rack so I glue them together and use them for deck estimation. Somehow computerized deck estimation doesn't look quite the same.
