Bullets Playing Cards | Waterproof Plastic Playing Cards – 2 Decks Poker Size with Jumbo Index, Smooth Front & Easy-Grip Back – Ideal for Texas Hold’em, Casino & Camping

I'm reviewing my earlier review. I've now shuffled these cards another 1000 times. They DO soften slightly which is a good thing. They ARE still a little TOO slippery, and they don't shuffle as perfectly as the Italian ones, BUT they are considerably more durable and they deal better, so, I'm willing to admit that they are the best of any I've used, value wise. I don't really want to play with paper/cardboard cards. They just don't last. First Review: I find reviews helpful, but of course everyone is different and what might be perfect for some players is not for others. That said, take my experience with your own expectations. I have tried out these cards, Bullets for a couple hundred games of solitaire. (of course when others are around, I'd rather play other games) I compared these to another plastic card from another company (Italian made), also "premium" but a bit less expensive than these. These cards are slightly larger than the Italian brand. My complaint about the other brand is that they do not "deal" as easily as paper cards. Also that they do lose the imprint on the face of the card after a year or two, and thus, are harder to read. These Bullets (less used than the Italian ones) are MUCH easier to deal. The slide, and thus separate quite well. The Italian ones are less stiff, but shuffle EXTREMELY well. The Bullets do not shuffle as well as the Italian ones, and after a thousand shuffles or so, are still fairly stiff. My only complaints about the Bullets are that they don't shuffle as easily and are SO slippery that it is easy for cards to spill out of one's hands during shuffling. (I'm 76 years old and can shuffle much better than most folks but it is true that as one gets older, one is less nimble of fingers) So, take my review with a grain or two of salt. These cards are certainly much better (for me) than paper based cards. They should last for many years. But when playing Solitaire I might prefer the Italian ones.

I had two deck of old casino cards, and a friend called out that the weathered markings were becoming easier to spot. Time to throw them out and replace them. But with what? I wanted a really nice set of jumbo cards, and after reading the reviews, I took a chance on Bullets Playing Cards. BINGO! These are fantastic!!!! Just what I was hoping for. All my friends loved playing with these and asked where I got them. Here are the reasons why I'm such a fan of these Bullets cards: -Each deck comes in its own sleeve, which makes in easier to store in the deck slots in my chip case. -I personally like it when decks have red and blue backs - its a perfect contrast on a green felt topper (which is what I have). -The cards are very crisp but flexible. They are easy on the fingers (not sharp) and are easy to shuffle and fan right out of the deck. They feel like you've played with them before on first shuffle. -The pips are nice, clean and big. Easy to see and decipher. -The red cards pips are rich, deep red. But its easy to tell from the black. I HATE it when red cards are the bright, red-orange halogen red. These reds are easy on the eye. -They handled moisture very well. One dad spilled his drink (there's always one) and they cleaned off easy with no damage. If you're looking to upgrade your poker supplies with nice cards, this is a great choice at a fair price. I can't wait to keep playing with these.

Excellent quality.

I normally don’t write reviews but I had to for this product. Straight out of the box they felt extremely smooth and durable. The cards are not stiff and are flexible. Ease of shuffling is a big factor for me and these cards nailed it. The cards are also waterproof. Bonus they come with a poker hand card for those who are new to poker. Would highly recommend this if you’re looking for high quality and durable cards.

Excellent quality BUT more than one player at the table has complained that Spade and Club suites are not differentiated enough. I agree.

These are the best playing cards I've ever had. The numbers are large and the cards are super durable. This is the second time I've ordered. We play cards with friends and their cards only last for a few nights of playing. These cards last for years.

The cards look fine, but they are a present so I have not opened them.

WOW. These cards have the feel, texture and flexibility of my favorite Fournier WPT deck from Spain. I’ll be buying more Bullets. They lack the yellow highlighted area and the Courts aren’t as colorful but it’s all about the feel.
