Faded Spade Launches Casino-Grade Paper Playing Cards, Debuting at G2E 2025
Faded Spade, the modern card brand trusted by poker rooms and operators across the industry, today announced the launch of its new line of casino-grade paper playing cards. The official debut will take place at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) this October in Las Vegas, the premier annual event for the gaming industry.
With this launch, Faded Spade expands from poker rooms to the broader casino floor, offering properties a fresh choice for high-quality paper cards designed for performance, security, and speed of delivery.
Meeting the Needs of Today’s Casino Floors
Unlike most suppliers requiring year-long bulk commitments, Faded Spade is introducing a smarter, more flexible solution. The new program offers custom-branded casino paper decks in a variety of flexible, bulk quantities. This approach allows casinos to trial initial orders or cover vendor supply gaps without the disruption of a full-floor conversion at the start.
In fact, Faded Spade’s entry into casino-grade paper cards began more than a year ago with its first major customer, Royal Caribbean Group. Since then, over 100 orders have been fulfilled. It’s allowed the Faded Spade to refine production, delivery and performance standards along the way. This track record also gives Faded Spade the confidence that its paper card program is not only proven, but also now well-suited for today’s regulated casino operators and the broader gaming market.
Faded Spade casino paper cards are made in the USA and deliver:
Custom Design & Branding: Fully tailored decks that reflect each casino’s identity.
Speed of Production: Faster turnaround and more responsive fulfillment.
Top Quality Paper Stock: Professional-grade durability and performance.
Game Integrity: Consistent production processes that protect games and reputation.
A Modern Card Brand Expands
“Faded Spade earned its reputation in poker rooms, and now we’re bringing that same trusted product quality and customer service to every casino gaming operation,” said Tom Wheaton, Founder & CEO of Faded Spade. “We don’t expect operators to overhaul everything at once, and our flexible programs make it easy to start with trial orders or gap coverage and grow from there, always with confidence in every card.”
