Fournier of Spain is to supply its 100 per cent plastic cards to the Genting Poker Series.
Genting is the largest casino operator in the UK and among the largest gaming and leisure companies in the world. Its British casinos include the Crockfords, Mint, Circus and Maxims brands.
With seven events planned throughout 2012, the Genting Poker Series will feature guaranteed prize pools of £800,000. Fournier is the official supplier of playing cards to the tournament.
“The relationship between Genting Casino Group and Fournier goes back in time as our casinos have been using Fournier playing cards for many years,” said Kevin Proctor, poker operations manager at Genting. “Therefore, we know well the attributes of Fournier cards.”
The firm’s plastic playing cards are known for their “top resistance, nice touch and smooth shuffling and slide,” he added.
“Another feature that we particularly value in Fournier playing cards is their security as they have been consistently supplying cards with no marks or defects. With Fournier we know we have the best material in our tables and, as you can imagine, a tournament of this caliber could not settle for less.”
