Cartamundi,
a Belgian company that is the global market leader in the production and sale
of playing cards, was the exclusive supplier of playing cards and poker chips
in Casino Royale.
The company was asked by EON Productions to design and produce the playing
cards and the poker chips for the scenes that plays an important role in the
Bond film, in collaboration with the producing company itself.
Cartamundi
was already an official licensee for the 2002 Bond film Die
Another Day. At the time, Cartamundi acquired its worldwide licence
to market a range of Bond products, featuring images from the first 19 Bond
pictures.
Casino
Royale Cards and Chips
For three key scenes in Casino
Royale, including the final scene in the Casino Royale casino of
Montenegro, Cartamundi produced three different card decks and chips. They
were manufactured in the factory in Turnhout, Belgium. Cartamundi worked in
close collaboration with the producer's design department to decide on the
look and style of these decks and chips, so that they would fit in with the
overall style of the movie.
Besides
the famous Casino Royale poker game, other cards produced by Cartamundi for
the movie are the Ocean Club cards and chips seen in the poker game between
Bond and Dimitrios in the One & Only Ocean Club, where
Bond wins the Aston
Martin DB5. Those cards and chips were never sold unfortunately and the
set for the poker game of LeChiffre on his yacht.
The
Casino Royale branded cards as seen in Casino
Royale are still available, in red and black, or in
combination with the dvd or scale car models, for example on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and the German
Amazon store.
A
Deluxe Poker Set was produced, featuring a beautifully carved wooden case with
Casino Royale embossing, 2 Casino Royale poker decks: one black, one red,
Texas Hold'em rules, 200 branded Casino Royale chips: $5 x 75, $25 x 75, $100
x 25, $500 x 25, a Dealer button.

Cartamundi
released a new set of collector's cards for the 2008 movie Quantum
of Solace, a set of cards featuring images from the movie, which wasn't
used by Bond or other characters in the movie itself.
For SkyFall (2012),
once again a poker scene featured Cartamundi designed playing cards and
chips of the Floating Dragon Macau casino.
Cartamundi has had a successful James Bond licence for
ten years, and also supplied the cards and poker chips for the Bond film
