Vegas Brand Says: These 100% Vegas BrandPlastic Playing Cards are poker size and offer a premium quality lookand feel. Both Durable and Stylish, these Vegas plastic decks come in atwo-deck set with gold and black backs..
ChipTalk Says: I saw some of the Vegas Brand 100% Plastic PlayingCards at Wal-Mart today and couldn't resist for the price. I picked up1 gold and 1 black deck.
The first thing I noticed is the box is pretty looks cool. Anyways, putthe cards through a pretty regimented test of shuffling, sliding,bending sniffing etc and I'd have to say i'm blown away.
1) No noticeable odor as previously mentioned [on ChipTalk forums].
2) They shuffle great as expectded with any plastic deck. While thesurface is completely smooth, for some strange reason the top carddoesn't float off like some other decks I have. ie KEM, Copag,Prestige, Cartimundi, Modanio.
3) I like the colors; Regal. Obviously copied from Copag and KEM. Theyare standard size index with nice vibrant red. I hate security darkred: Pointless in a home game.
4) Thickness is good. Not too thin and flimsy like the black/gold KEM'sI just returned after one night of play.
5) Slideability - strange yet again, despite lacking any surfacetexture, the cards don't fly as expected on the suited speed cloth. Ihad to deliberately try to get them to fly off the table. Which iskinda nice.
6) Price...what can I say. $2.86/ea. You can't beat that. I'd have togo through 8 setups to equal one setup of KEM's...which again, I've hadno luck with due to warping bending etc.
7) Visibility: Oh, and they are matte finish, so no excessivereflection..
Conclusion: Ifyou want some nice looking plastic poker size cards but don't want todrop $20, these will fit the bill just nicely.
