Abstract
The invention provides an improved game playing card holder made from monocoque construction providing a plurality of card compartments using raised fins through linear slits in the frame. The fins protrude vertically from the card holding surface provides a separation boundary between card types as required by individual game requirements. The rear support of the card compartment is a common wall providing a uniform presentation of the decks to the dealer. The supporting top surface is raised at an approximate 20 degree angle from the base, with the front card edge of each deck protruding beyond the front support of the card base, allowing ease of access to the cards to create improved card handling and dealing characteristics of the holder. The metallic structure allows application of electrostatic powder coat finishes providing long durability with enhanced appearance.
