FYI, for the Copag crowd I saw them in a casino for the first time

[Art Vandelay]

Was in Vegas yesterday and played in Harrah's day tournament. I was surprised to see that they used Copags, to my knowledge this is the first time I've seen them used by a casino. I asked the dealer about it and he said they'd been using them for about a month and that they were much better than the previous cards (he didn't know the brand, but they were not KEM).

After reading all of the "Copag vs. KEM" threads thought I'd share it with the group.

ya i was at their cardroom on sunday too. a friend was playing in the tournament and i saw the Copags. Harrahs poker room is pretty decent.

[drexah]

ive had both, and IMO copags are MUCH, MUCH, better.
copags have lasted me maybe 50 home games, kems laster me maybe 5.

Dude, what do you do to your cards? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Falker used his KEM decks for over two semesters before a joker needed to become the ace of diamonds. (and we still use the deck)

Used my kems in a weekly game for three years with no problems, though I must admit to never having purchased copags

Were they stock Copags or Harrah-branded?

They are not Harrah's branded but I doubt they are stock cards you could buy off the shelf. I personally did not like them when I was at Harrah's two weaks ago.

They were using stock Copags when I was at the Aladdin about a month ago as well. Actually one of the exact same sets as I own...
