The Reserve
Where the wild things are.
Zebras, antelopes, and lions are royalty on these cards from The Reserve Hotel & Casino, a defunct African-themed casino in Henderson, Nevada. The deck uses repeating courts for all four suits. The aces and the pips on the court cards are a bit stylized, but still easy to discern.
The Reserve playing cards manufactured by USPCC for The Reserve Hotel & Casino, Henderson, USA.

I'm a US-based author and journalist. I've been collecting playing cards since I was about 8 years old, when I got mesmerized by the various decks that were used in Soviet Ukraine, where I'm from. I collect mainly European decks such as those by Dondorf, Grimaud, and Piatnik. I love courts above all else, and am drawn toward historical and artistic decks.
