SLOWPLAY100% Plastic Playing Cards in Bulk, 10-Deck Card Set in Poker Size, Jumbo Index, Superior Flexibility and Durability, Waterproof & Washable,Professional Playing Cards for Texas Hold’em Poker

These are incredibly interesting cards. I've got a bit of a collection going, having handled cards both paper and plastic, cheap and expensive, and...these are quite unique. The backs (as well as the cut cards included in each deck) have slight texturing to them, while the faces are extremely slick, similar in feel to something like Aviator or Maverick paper cards, which have untextured, slick finishes.I have never in my life used a plastic deck which handled so much like a paper deck; these deal beautifully, though are a little tough to shuffle. The weight, flex resistance and initial very heady smell of the cards give away that they're plastic, but at the same time the finish gives them the aforementioned very slick, paper-like feeling, so much so that any cardists, card mechanics or card magicians might want to consider trying these out if you ever tire of using Bikes all the time.Aesthetics-wise, the back designs are very eye-catching, brightly-colored and geometric, while the face art is quite pleasant, with decidedly-unique ace-of-spades and joker designs. The boxes are of quite high quality, and decidedly not your standard USPCC fare.

Nice cards, this is my second set. Smooth touch

These cards work great for my weekly Texas Hold Em game. The print on them is large and clear, but it does begin to fade after a while. They are played with quite vigorously before they become faded enough for anyone to have issue with it. I was quite impressed with how good the quality was for the money... I would say that; with two decks, in rotation, for roughly 6 to 12 hours every week, they last about 3 months before they begin to fade. Probably didn't HAVE to be replaced with new decks until another month beyond that.

Good product. Only issue is the ink fads over time. I play Hand and Foot with 8 decks of cards and shuffle with an electronic card shuffler. I am used to the cards getting dirty or bent. With these decks, they are very durable but the color fades on the cards. I had to replace them. I bought them again because they are good cards.

The name SLOWPLAY was what first caught my attention, I basically just bought it without too much to expect, since these cards usually wear out pretty soon and I always needed extra ones. But I was surprised by how nice they are when I opened the box.The cards came in as two packs, blue and red. They have an amazing texture, smooth, almost velvety. I think the texture made them able to land very quietly on the mat, a huge plus to any card dealing move. It’s such a relaxing thing to see how the card slide perfectly above the table top game mat.I tested the water-resistance by rinsing the cards under the faucet several times. It is actually waterproofed. So I think they are made of 100% plastic. This should make them last much longer. I would be able to clean them with a wet wipe when they get dirty. That’s a huge plus.The printing on the cards is very detailed. Everything is super finely printed in nice color. Very pleasing to the eye.I would definitely recommend it if you are looking to upgrade your game experience with something nice. They are definitely the nicest cards I’ve ever had and I do think it’s worth the extra few bucks since they will last much longer than the standard paper cards.

I have a weekly poker game and we use two decks continuously. Many years ago, we switched to plastic cards because the regular ones just couldn't last long enough to justify the cost. Plastic was much more efficient (they can be washed, they don't tear or bend easily, they just last much, much longer). The problem we found with plastic cards is they fade over time, especially if you wash them a lot (and you need to). We've used Davinci, Copag, and several other less famous brands. They all worked well but eventually they fade and need to be replaced. The name brands are very costly (around $10 per deck), but tend to last a little longer. Recently we've been trying out less expensive alternatives.These looked good for the price so we gave them a shot. They are very nice and compare to the Copags pretty well. The thickness is good, they feel great, shuffle great, deal well, etc. The first few weeks they were fantastic. Then they needed a cleaning. Into a bowl with warm water and a few drops of dishsoap.No scrubbing, just sloshing around. Then dried with paper towels. Good as new, right? Maybe not. After several weeks of using these cards, the ink started to fade away in places. I don't think it was because they got washed, I just think they faded sooner than most. This wasn't much of a problem on the card faces, but it happened on the card backs as well. The back color goes to the edge, there is no border on these cards. This is a major problem because with different fade patterns on card backs, you can start to learn what cards are by the fade marks. This happened with another brand we used before too. I think any cards with full color backs that go to up to the edge will be more prone to this problem. While these were impressive cards for the price, my poker friends did not like the way they aged and faded. We're going to try a high priced option next to see if they live up to the hype. I have yet to find a good blend of quality and price so far. The Davinci or Copags would be best considering the pricing now and how well they did for us in the past.

The Playing Cards are of high quality and deal very well.
