A Legacy of Excellence Since 1892:
Since 1892, Bee playing cards have set the benchmark for casino-quality cards worldwide. The Bee Jumbo Index deck represents 130+ years of innovation, reliability, and uncompromising performance. What began as a simple vision to create the finest playing cards in America has evolved into a global phenomenon, trusted by casinos from Las Vegas to Monte Carlo, by magicians performing on the world's greatest stages, and by card players who refuse to compromise on quality.
The History Behind the Brand:
Bee was born during America's golden age of gambling, when standardized, reliable playing cards were essential to the integrity of the game. The brand was developed by New York Consolidated Card Company in 1892 (hence the “92” on the Ace of Spades), a pioneering playing card manufacturer that understood the critical role quality cards played in professional gambling and entertainment. The brand quickly became synonymous with casino excellence, earning the trust of dealers, pit bosses, and players who understood that a quality deck could make or break a hand. For over a century, Bee cards have been the official choice of professional poker players, high-stakes gamblers, and magicians who require absolute precision and reliability. When the chips are down and the stakes are high, professionals choose Bee.
Legendary Design:
The iconic Bee diamond back design is instantly recognizable in casinos worldwide. This all-over borderless back pattern serves a dual purpose: it's beautiful to look at and functionally superior for gambling sleights, second deals, and false shuffles. The borderless design provides additional masking for complex card techniques, making even imperfect moves appear flawless. The design has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction—a testament to its perfect balance of form and function.
