4 color poker decks available?

compuease

Anyone know if 4 color decks are available, similar to the choice you have on some poker sites? Jeff..

I believe Doyle Brunson discusses 4 Colour Decks in SS2, however I've never seen one.

The new WSOP game for PS2 and Xbox allows you to use them....

I've never seen them, but I would be interested in seeing them.

He did. I've seen them used on some online sites (don't recall which one in particular), but I've never seen them sold in stores.

n00b question:
what would be the purpose of these coloured cards?

DrTyore

I believe Mike Caro was originally a big supporter of these for the newbies to casinos, to make it easier on them to identify flushes and such, potentially so that they better enjoy the game?

Sounds right, Mark.
I thought they were for senior citzens, or the visually impaired. They also make decks with HUGE fonts, for the same purpose.

I use 4 colour decks on all my online sites. I commented to my wife Sat night at Brantford that I still see the diamonds as blue and the clubs as green. I would love to own a 4 colour deck.

I'm well aware that many of the online sites allow you to use them but I am specifically looking for ones to use live, good quality and definitely not gaudy like those ones from the UK. (Thanks JohnnieH). Contrary to popular believe, lol, even folks younger than senior citizen age could benefit.... In many of the places I play the lighting isn't the best and if it is later at night and I'm at the end of the table the difference between clubs, spades or diamond, hearts is not always readily apparent. Many people, although they may not always admit it, have this same problem.... lol, I think there is a market here. Jeff...

I am in the works in bringing in some all plastic four coloured cards from Europe...and they are not as gaudy as the ones pictured in JohnnieH's link.....I will keep you guys posted!!! I should know whether its a go within a week

Hey everyone....the European 4 color all plastic decks won't be available for many months so I managed to pick-up a wholesale lot of casino grade plastic coated 4-color decks...made in the USA. These are not cheap cards...they are extremely playable and durable and have very vibrant colors. Played with them last night and everyone loved them. There were only 50 decks available as the company who made them went out of business earlier this year...so this is it!!! Believe me I have looked for hours and hours online for quality four coloured cards, and this is it. I have 44 single decks still left, and for the forum guys are $8 taxes included and another $1 if you need them shipped. Really cool!!! PM me if you would like a deck or two. Once they are gone they are gone!!!

I forgot to mention...they are poker size!!!!
