What do las vegas casinos do with used playing cards?

I want Flamingo Las Vegas playing cards and I wanted to know what they do with the used ones. Since they change them every 1 to 2 hours. I know they cut the corners or have holes in the corner to make sure people don't cheat. I don't care I want atleast 20 decks.

What do las vegas casinos do with used playing cards?
most Casinos give them away.


They do the same with dice
Reply:they sell them for about a buck in there gift shops i have also seen them in dollar stores
Reply:You can probably get them from Ebay. Cards are marked either with a marker or a stamp then they have either the cornors cut or a drill hole in the middle of them. Usually you'd find them in the Flamingo gift shop.
Reply:1) they sell them at their gift shop


2) they destroy them


3) they trash them..(some casino)....I saw this in person that Atlantic City. I went up there on a bus and there was a dumpster with two plastic bag full of old use cards.
Reply:Many of the Vegas casinos sell the used playing card out of a machine in the casino. The card have been re-decked by disabled folks for income. The players' club gives them away as gifts or prizes.





You could write the casino public relations office and tell them why you want that many desks. But expect that they will only send them to you if you have written the request on an official charity or non-profit organization letter head and includes a return phone number.
Reply:First they take it off the game and mark the deck with a black marker and then they cut off that corner, so a cheater cannot put it back on the game. Then they ship it off to a company where they rearrange the deck back into suits. Then they sell it back in their gift shop or sell it to other local gift shops. Unless you know one of the managers in the pit that will give a box of used cards then you're stuck paying for it in their gift shop. Nothing is free in Vegas unless you get of the casinos coupon books, some do give you one free deck of cards.
Reply:They put them back in sequence and resell in their gift shops.
Reply:call them or email them and see if they will send you some. They give them away or sell them in the gift shops of thier hotels.
