Conrad Punta del Este Resort & Casino
Naipes Conrad Punta del Este Casino playing cards produced specially for Conrad Punta del Este Resort & Casino.
Conrad Punta del Este Casino playing cards, produced specially for Conrad Punta del Este Resort & Casino's Las Vegas style hotel in Uruguay. The court cards are a digitally created design loosely inspired by Fournier's 'Castilian' pattern which has become ubiquitous in most Latin American countries. It can be seen that the same court designs are used in each suit, with colour changes and different suit symbols. The coin suit symbols are gambling tokens with the legend "buena suerte" (good luck).
Conrad Punta del Este is part of the Harrah's group. Both Harrah's and Conrad have social responsibility policies regarding gambling addiction which can be viewed on their websites.
Above: Conrad Punta del Este Casino playing cards, anonymous manufacturer, 48 cards + 2 jokers in box. The two jokers feature roulette wheels along with the Conrad logo, which is also shown on the ace of cups and the fours of cups and coins.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
