Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of playing cards and more specifically to playing cards with suits made distinctive by background screening, reversed border coloring and reversed solid coloring.
- Hearts and diamonds have always, since the first card design, been red markings, shapes and numbers with a completely white background.
- spades and clubs have always been black markings, shapes and numbers with a completely white background.
- the present invention will eliminate card playing errors due to suit color likeness and still maintain the acceptable colors of red and black and be a help to all players, especially those with poor visibility.
- the present invention will allow instant identification as between spades and clubs and as between hearts and diamonds. The speed of identification will increase player and dealer satisfaction and lessen fatigue. This will lead to increased speed of play which will translate into increased revenue for card rooms, casino pits, card rooms, and on electronic gaming devices like video poker, and legal online sites.
- the present invention will make it easier for the player to identify his or her cards by suit when taking a “peek” because the identification can be made without seeing the shape of the suit. It will also be easier for the player to memorize “down” cards because there are now four distinctive suits.
- One embodiment of the present invention is a playing card deck with fifty-two cards divided equally into four suits, being hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs.
- the thirteen cards of each suit are sequentially numbered face cards, two through ten, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace with the following distinctive color arrangement:

- the thirteen cards of each suit are sequentially numbered face cards, two through ten, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace with the following distinctive color arrangement:
- the pink screened background as applied either to the heart suit or the diamond suit will not obscure the markings, suit shapes or numbers on any card but only serve as a quick visual identification of suit to the player. Thus the player will not mistake a heart for a diamond and vice-versa.
- the grey-screened background as applied either to the spade suit or the club suit will not obscure the markings, suit shapes or numbers on any card but only serve as a quick visual identification of suit to the player. Thus the player will not mistake a spade for a club and vice-versa.

Abstract
A system (e.g., electronic gaming device) for facilitating card games using modified, simulated playing cards. The modified cards have a distinctive color arrangement permitting hearts and diamonds, and spades and clubs, to be more readily distinguished thereby allowing card games to proceed at a faster pace. For example, a first suit, hearts, with all markings, heart shapes and numbers being a red color on a white background; a second suit, diamonds, with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers being a white color against a red background, a third suit, spades, with all markings, spade shapes and numbers being a black color on a white background; and a fourth suit, clubs, with all markings, club shapes and numbers being a white color against a black background. Other arrangements are disclosed.
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/986,778 filed Nov. 26, 2007, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/978,383 filed Oct. 29, 2007.
- This invention relates to the field of playing cards and more specifically to playing cards with suits made distinctive by background screening, reversed border coloring and reversed solid coloring.
- The use of playing cards has been around for hundreds of years, and the concept of four suits, with colors being two red and two black, has likewise been conventional for hundreds of years. The use of suits with two through ten sequentially numbered face cards, with three picture cards, jack, queen and king, and with an ace, is, and has been standard for poker, black jack and many other card games.
- It is said that the game of poker was first played in New Orleans around 1820. As first played the game had a 20 card deck of tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces. It was not until around 1845 that the game was played with a full, 52 card deck.
- All card players, using standard two color decks, will, from time to time, experience errors trying to read their hand or the board when playing card games. While such errors may only injure one's pride in a friendly home game, the same errors in a casino cash game could be financially very costly.
- These errors tend to be approximately ninety-five percent suit based, which is to say, the player will mistake one suit for another. Hearts and diamonds have always, since the first card design, been red markings, shapes and numbers with a completely white background. Likewise, spades and clubs have always been black markings, shapes and numbers with a completely white background. Thus it can be seen that a player may mistake a heart for a diamond or vice-versa, and likewise mistake a spade for a club and vice-versa.
- Over the years, after untold thousands of card games with traditional cards, no one has been successful in solving this problem with suit color likeness and still maintaining the same two age-old acceptable colors, red and black. There have been attempts to use four colors instead of just red and black as well as suit-based color tones, but these attempts are generally not acceptable to card players.
- For the first time in the long history of the playing card deck of fifty two cards, the present invention will eliminate card playing errors due to suit color likeness and still maintain the acceptable colors of red and black and be a help to all players, especially those with poor visibility. The present invention will allow instant identification as between spades and clubs and as between hearts and diamonds. The speed of identification will increase player and dealer satisfaction and lessen fatigue. This will lead to increased speed of play which will translate into increased revenue for card rooms, casino pits, card rooms, and on electronic gaming devices like video poker, and legal online sites.
- The present invention will make it easier for the player to identify his or her cards by suit when taking a “peek” because the identification can be made without seeing the shape of the suit. It will also be easier for the player to memorize “down” cards because there are now four distinctive suits.
- One embodiment of the present invention is a playing card deck with fifty-two cards divided equally into four suits, being hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. The thirteen cards of each suit are sequentially numbered face cards, two through ten, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace with the following distinctive color arrangement:
-
- a) A first suit, hearts, with all markings, heart shapes and numbers being a red color;
- b) A second suit, diamonds, with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers being a red color with a background, whether partial or whole, screened or tinted a pink color;
- c) A third suit, spades, with all markings, spade shapes and numbers being a black color; and
- d) A fourth suit, clubs, with all markings, club shapes and numbers being a black color with a background, whether partial or whole, screened or tinted a grey color.
- A further embodiment of the present invention is a playing card deck with fifty-two cards divided equally into four suits, being hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. The thirteen cards of each suit are sequentially numbered face cards, two through ten, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace with the following distinctive color arrangement:
-
- a) A first suit, hearts, with all markings, heart shapes and numbers being a red color with a background, whether partial or whole, screened or tinted a pink color;
- b) A second suit, diamonds, with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers being a red color;
- c) A third suit, spades, with all markings, spade shapes and numbers being a black color with a background, whether partial or whole, screened or tinted a grey color; and
- d) A fourth suit, clubs, with all markings, club shapes and numbers being a black color.
- It is understood that the pink screened background as applied either to the heart suit or the diamond suit will not obscure the markings, suit shapes or numbers on any card but only serve as a quick visual identification of suit to the player. Thus the player will not mistake a heart for a diamond and vice-versa.
- Likewise, it is understood that the grey-screened background as applied either to the spade suit or the club suit will not obscure the markings, suit shapes or numbers on any card but only serve as a quick visual identification of suit to the player. Thus the player will not mistake a spade for a club and vice-versa.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is a playing card deck with fifty-two cards divided equally into four suits, being hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. The thirteen cards of each suit are sequentially numbered face cards, two through ten, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace with the following distinctive color arrangement:
-
- a) A first suit, hearts, with all markings, heart shapes and numbers being a red color on a white background;
- b) A second suit, diamonds, with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers being a white color against a red background in a form commonly known as reversed solid.
- c) A third suit, spades, with all markings, spade shapes and numbers being a black color on a white background; and
- d) A fourth suit, clubs, with all markings, club shapes and numbers being a white color against a black background, in a form commonly known as reversed solid.
- It is further intended that the above stated distinctive color arrangement be interchangeable as between the heart and diamond suits and as between the spade and club suit.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is a playing card deck with fifty-two cards divided equally into four suits, being hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. The thirteen cards of each suit are sequentially numbered face cards, two through ten, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace with the following distinctive color arrangement:
-
- a) A first suit, hearts, with all markings, heart shapes and numbers being a red color on a white background;
- b) A second suit, diamonds, with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers in a border being a white color against a red background in a form commonly known as reversed solid, with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers on the card face and boxed by the border being a red color on a white background.
- c) A third suit, spades, with all markings, spade shapes and numbers being a black color on a white background; and
- d) A fourth suit, clubs, with all markings, club shapes and numbers in a border being a white color against a black background in a form commonly known as reversed solid, with all markings, club shapes and numbers on the card face and boxed by the border being a black color on a white background.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is a system configured to allow a player to play a card game comprising: a processor; means for randomly generating game outcomes; a display; a player interface; and wherein said processor and display are configured to cause one or more simulated cards from a plurality of simulated playing cards to be displayed, said plurality of simulated playing cards including four suits, said suits being hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs, comprising: a first group of simulated heart-suited cards with all markings, heart shapes and numbers being a red color on a white background; a second group of simulated diamond-suited cards with all markings, diamond shapes and numbers being a white color on a non-white background; a third group of simulated spade-suited cards with all markings, spade shapes and numbers being a black color on a white background; and a fourth group of simulated club-suited cards with all markings, club shapes and numbers being a white color on a non-white background. Other system configurations relate to different embodiments of the modified cards. Such a system allows the benefits of the modified playing cards to be enjoyed by those playing electronically implemented card games (e.g., video poker).
- It is further intended that the above stated distinctive color arrangement be interchangeable as between the heart and diamond suits and as between the spade and club suit.
- It is an object of this invention that the inventive deck and color arrangement be applicable to electronic depictions of playing card decks as common in video and computer games and on the internet as well as to manual playing card decks.
- It is a further object of this invention that the inventive deck and color arrangements be applicable to all traditional and “jumbo” versions of playing card numbers, markings and suit shapes as well as card size and not limited to any version whether depicted herein or not.

- Video poker has been popular for decades and continues to attract players. Video poker is a simple game to play. In general, the basic game of video poker comprises a player placing a wager of one to five credits; displaying five random, simulated cards face-up; allowing the player to hold or discard each face-up card; replacing all discards with new random, simulated cards; and providing a payout based on the rank of the final five-card poker hand. Many variations of basic video poker exist but each variation utilizes simulated playing cards. Random game outcomes are commonly generated by a random number generator or similar means. Different random number generators operate differently but are intended to generate truly random outcomes.
- With the embodiments of the present invention, the cards described herein are incorporated into the video poker game or any card game facilitated by an electronic gaming device. A processor which controls the electronic gaming device is programmed to incorporate simulated cards corresponding to the cards described herein relative to live games of chance.
