Do you have any links to the pixelated cards?
This dancing story is nuts:
> A complaint filed by the board against Caesars Palace says a customer was
> playing baccarat in the high-limit baccarat room on Oct. 10, 2009. On three
> separate occasions, the man climbed onto the baccarat table from his chair,
> walked on the table and made a bet before returning to stand on his chair,
> eventually sitting down, according to the complaint.
>
> On the second occasion, the player performed a dance on the table before
> returning to his chair, the control board said. The three incidents took
> place over a 45-minute period, according to the complaint.
(I think this is what you are referring to. But it is from 4 years ago.)

Yes, that is the incident I was referring to...I guess I just read about it last year. Here is the new card back: http://prntscr.com/3cjo5v (here's a closeup: http://prntscr.com/3cjlqk). This is much different than the diamond design they used until recently that enabled this scheme - http://prntscr.com/3cjnne
They do not punch a hole/heart out of the middle of these decks anymore? When I was younger my grandfather would always bring me decks of cards and they all had holes punched out of the middle.
No, these days on the cards they sell in the gift shops they shave 2 of the edges off. They still stick out if put in with other, non-shaved cards in live play at the tables, but are more useful than cards with holes in them :).
