Abstract: A card receiver to receive playing cards includes a substantially circular base having an outer periphery and an inner portion radially spaced from the outer periphery. A plurality of partitions extend longitudinally from the base and opposed surfaces of each adjacent pair of partitions form a respective playing card compartment therebetween. Each of the partitions are cambered such that both a face and a back of a playing card retained in a respective one of the compartments are physically engaged by the opposed surfaces of the pair of partitions forming the respective compartment.
