A full brick gives you 12 decks—6 Red and 6 Blue—of the world's most trusted playing cards. From the high-roller rooms of Las Vegas to the magic stages of Broadway, from professional poker tournaments to collectors' cabinets, Bee is the choice of those who know the difference.
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.
The diamond back design—now iconic—was perfected over decades of use in America's most prestigious casinos. Dealers refined it, mathematicians analyzed it, and players trusted it. The result is a design that remains virtually unchanged since its introduction, a testament to achieving perfection and seeing no need for improvement.
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.
