Faded Spade Showcases Casino-Grade Paper Playing Cards at Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention
March 13, 2026. Faded Spade, the modern playing card brand trusted by poker rooms and casino operators across the gaming industry, will showcase its new line of casino-grade paper playing cards at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention, taking place March 31 – April 2, 2026 in San Diego.
Hosted annually by the National Indian Gaming Association, the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention is one of the most important gatherings for tribal gaming leaders, casino operators, and gaming suppliers across North America. For Faded Spade, the event provides an opportunity to connect directly with tribal casino operators and introduce a modern approach to casino playing card supply.
Designed for the Needs of Today’s Casino Floors
Faded Spade’s casino-grade paper card program was developed to address common challenges faced by casino operators today — particularly the need for greater flexibility, faster production timelines, and dependable product quality.
Unlike traditional playing card suppliers that often require year-long bulk commitments, Faded Spade offers custom-branded casino paper decks in a variety of flexible order quantities. This allows casinos to start with trial orders, test performance, or cover vendor supply gaps without committing to a full-floor conversion upfront.
The program is designed to give gaming operators more control, more flexibility, and more confidence when sourcing casino cards.
A Proven Program Built Through Real-World Use
Faded Spade’s entry into casino paper cards began a few years ago r ago with its first major customer, one of the largest global cruise companies in the world. Since then, the company has fulfilled more than 125 orders while refining production standards, delivery timelines, and performance across real gaming environments.
Today, Faded Spade products are trusted by gaming operators across the industry, including leading tribal and commercial casino properties such as Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, Potawatomi Casino Hotel, Talking Stick Resort, Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk, and Bally’s Black Hawk, among others.
This growing customer base has helped validate the company’s reputation for product performance, reliable supply, and strong operator partnerships.
Made in the USA with Casino Performance in Mind
Faded Spade’s casino-grade paper cards are manufactured in the United States and built specifically for the demands of casino table games.
Key benefits include:
Custom Design & Branding

Expanding the Faded Spade Footprint
