Is there anyone currently in the casino industry who has some relationship with the people who order the playing cards? I have been seeing new playing card back designs but can't find any new catalogs or anything else online showing these new back designs. I was hoping someone could let me know how casinos are now choosing their back designs and if there is any way I can get copies of the current choices for the various card companies. For example, Angel Gaming Co., Ltd., a Japanese company, seems to have purchased PGI, and with it their Paulson brand playing cards. I have been on their site and searched otherwise for something that shows what choices casinos have, but I can't find anything for Angel. Their website is no help at all and has minimal information on it. I sent them an e-mail, but if history is any guide, they will either not respond or be of no help.

Here are two new designs I have run across, one from Paul-son (now Angel, but probably GPI when the deck was manufactured) and one from Bee (USPC):

Any help is appreciated.
