If you\u2019re a master card\nplayer, or even just a casual one, then a deck of cards is obviously the most\nimportant tool of your trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how often do you\nthink about the cards themselves rather than the game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take a closer look\nat what they are, where they originated from, and why they are the way they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to find\nout some of the most surprising facts about playing cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. There\u2019s Actually A Reason Why There Are 52 Cards In A Deck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever wondered why there are 52 cards in a deck? Well, it hasn\u2019t always been that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the centuries,\ndecks have comprised of different card variations of 24, 36, 40, 48 and almost\nany number in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But 52 stole a march on\nthe rest of the, er, pack to become the most popular and common deck size\nacross large portions of the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody can say for sure\nwhat the reason for this is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many competing theories, but it\u2019s most likely that British and French colonialism<\/a> played a huge part, as it potentially allowed the standard French deck size of 52 cards to spread across the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cards Symbolize The\nCalendar <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An interesting theory <\/a>on why there are 52 cards in a deck is that the number of cards corresponds to the number of weeks within a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say that the two colors\n\u2014 red and black \u2014 reflect day and night, and that the four suits represent the\nfour seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets even freakier\nwhen you notice that there are 13 cards in a suit to match the number of lunar\ncycles, and 12 court cards that represent the 12 months of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if you add up all\nthe symbols in a deck of cards, there are 365\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fascinating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The First Card Decks Were Invented In A Surprising Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think you know where\npacks of cards first came from? Maybe think again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll admit our first guesses were wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decks of cards actually originated in China in the 9th century. Or at least that\u2019s what most<\/em> scholars agree on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common belief is\nthat the first printed playing cards originated in China too, in the form of a\n32-card domino deck printed on paper, bone and wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s believed cards\nthen slowly spread across India, Persia and Egypt before arriving in Europe,\nallowing for all kinds of variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Vegas Casinos Change Decks More Than You Change Your Pants<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Used

Ever wondered how long decks of cards are used in casinos before they\u2019re thrown away? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Las Vegas, decks can last for up to 12 hours before being discarded or sold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long a deck is in play depends on factors such as how busy the specific table is and whether shuffling<\/a> is done by hand or machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you visit during a busy time, a deck can last as little as one hour before being switched for a fresh pack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why are cards retired in the first place? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s to stop any distinguishing marks, such as bends and scuffs, giving the game away to players looking to gain an advantage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The World\u2019s Oldest Deck Of Cards Is In NYC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world\u2019s rarest and supposedly oldest full deck of cards is on show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hand-painted tarot\ndeck hails from mid-15th century Netherlands and is in amazing condition, suggesting\nthe cards were hardly played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oldest
Image: The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The deck was sold to a collector in the 1970s for $2,800, who spent about five years researching its history before selling them to the Met for $143,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find other centuries-old decks of cards being held at institutions like Yale University, who even have their own card database<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competing cards for the\ntitle of oldest and rarest include the Mamluk pack of cards at Topkapu Museum\nin Istanbul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Casino Cards Require A Lot Of Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned earlier, any imperfections in a pack of cards can give away plenty to eagle-eyed players. This means casino cards have a lot of security measures in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes larger symbols and characters so that any suspicious occurrences can be caught by security cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also notice that cards in a casino feel a little different. That\u2019s because they are 100% plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic allows more card-handling for games like poker, before they get tired, dirty and dog-eared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, since we spoke of security before, it also makes it harder for players to cheat and\u00a0mark cards<\/a>\u00a0than paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New decks also have to be signed-off by pit bosses and\u00a0dealers<\/a>, before being reshuffled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when a pack of cards is finally retired, every card must be accounted for before being either shredded or sold with intentional imperfections so that they can\u2019t find their way back to the casino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. You Might Recognize Some Card Characters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you play with a \u2018traditional\u2019\ndeck of 52 \u2018French\u2019 cards, created from the 16th century onwards, some faces\nmay look familiar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because some are\nbased on or inspired by famous figures from history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peek a little closer and you might just see Julius Caesar as the King of Diamonds, Alexander the Great as the King of Clubs, Greek goddess Pallas Athena as the Queen of Spades, or Lancelot du Lac as the Jack of Clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Cards Aren\u2019t Always What They Seem<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During war time,\ngovernments can get pretty creative with playing cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our best example of\nthis is the US government, who worked with a famous card company during World\nWar II to make special secret decks for American prisoners of war (POWs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards would apparently peel apart when wet to reveal snippets of maps to assist with escapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Card

Very James Bond-esque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. The Most Famous Cards Are From The US<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Again, it\u2019s all a matter of opinion, but it\u2019s widely regarded that the most iconic card decks are the US brand Bicycle<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are tipped to be\nthe most famous pack of cards ever due to their history of being used to help\nAmerican prisoners escape during World War II, as we mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards also feature in popular culture when it comes to the Vietnam War<\/a> too, as a myth did the rounds that American soldiers used the Ace of Spades cards to scare away superstitious Viet Cong members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays you\u2019re more\nlikely to find them at casinos and magic shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. One Card Manufacturer Dominates The Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The United States Playing Card Company<\/a> (USPCC) are said to be the biggest manufacturer of playing cards in the world, and a top choice for many casinos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognize any of these brands: Aviator, Bee, Tally-Ho? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re all made by the USPCC, as well as those famous (or infamous) Bicycle cards we mentioned earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belgian company Cartamundi<\/a> also posts a rival claim to be the largest card manufacturer in the world. But they make many varieties of card games in different markets than the USPCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
