  • Our take on the Bicycle Playing Cards - Poker Standard Index

    Bicycle's standard poker deck is the benchmark American playing card: two-ply paper with an air-cushion finish, individually cut and beveled at the edges. That construction gives the snap, smooth dealing and durability that made it the default deck for home games, casinos and card magic. It is a general-purpose deck rather than a specialty one, so it suits poker, rummy, bridge-style games and sleight of hand equally. Rivals like Bee and Tally-Ho offer similar stock, but Bicycle's familiar Rider Back design and wide availability keep it the easy first choice.

    Questions and answers

    Is this deck good for poker night?
    Yes. The standard poker index and smooth finish suit Texas Hold'em and other table games. It is the deck most home games already use.
    Can I choose red or blue backs?
    No. The deck ships in either red or blue and the color is not guaranteed. If matching an existing set matters, that is a risk.

    All three use similar two-ply stock. Bicycle's air-cushion finish and standard index make it the most familiar and versatile of the three for general play.
    Is it good for card magic?
    Yes. The snap and smooth finish work well for fans, dribbles and forces. Many magicians use Bicycle standards because spectators recognize the backs.
    Is it safe for young children?
    No. The cards are a choking hazard with small parts, so keep them away from children who still put things in their mouths.
    What comes in the box?
    One deck of 52 cards plus jokers, in a standard tuck box. The back color varies between red and blue.
