Other Advertising

In earlier times it was possible to get ‘casino used’ cards direct from the casinos themselves, with either a hole drilled or corner cut, but recently they have stopped doing this. Some have cards printed with the casino advertisement on the back that you can buy at their souvenir shops, but they’re not used in the actual gaming rooms.
