If you want to play normal card games with 52 cards, I would make it the following way (with "quanta costs" as card number)

Colors:
1. Dragons
2. Pillars (Shields could go, except for Others)
3. Potions
4. Weapons

Numbers:
2-> Aether
3-> Air
4->Darkness
5->Death
6->Earth
7-> Entropy
8->Fire
9->Gravity
10->Life
Jack ->Light
Queen->Time
King-> Water
Ace-> Other

I just took the alphabetical order (except other). And I took these 4 colors, because all elements have these cards (except other, which is a bit special )
And maybe upgraded cards for the picture cards "Jack", Queen, "King" and "Ace"

Other cards are: Pillar: Quantum Pillar; Weapon: weapon you want , Potion: Shard,  Dragon= Relic (A relic could have been a dragon )
If Shields as color, then a grey version of the upped Sundial for "Others".
Jokers: Miracle ( TOP for a joker role ) , Pharaoh or Arctic Squid.
Could be a fan article. (And the relic card has a use :) .

Edit:
Another distribution of colors:
Black 1: Nymphs, Other: The oracle card or Relic
Black 2: Potions: Other: Zanzs empty bottle of the Air Potion
Red 1: Shields: Other: grey version of Sundial
Red 2: Weapons: Other: a weapon like the sword
Jokers: SoD,SoG.

If this was implemented, it would be nice if there were Elemental Poker exclusive card rewards for the main game. I personally may be interested in playing it if there were multi-player. Still, it feels like a strange change to Elements if it were around.

While it sounds cool, I'm pretty sure zanz won't ever get it in the game. Firstly, this game needs time to get to the end phase. Not skills in poker.

Secondly, zanz has more important things to add in the game. Especially, cards, quests, etc. Now, if you see 2 colors, you basically know what you're going to play. This needs to change, and the only way to do it is more cards.

Lastly, it doesn't fits the theme of the game. Casino? Really?
The Oracle is a perfect example of something that Elements didn't "need", but what turned out to be a huge success. The Oracle is like a built in "mini-game", and the whole point of this "Casino" is to have more mini-games like that.

Lets say Elements didn't have a slot machine. Now lets say I suggest Elements needs a slot machine. That idea would be instantly shut down because "it doesn't fit the theme". However we do have a slot machine that doesn't quite fit well with the dragons and magic, yet very few people have a problem with that. Bottom line is that gamers like games.

I think you are looking at the word "Casino" too much. Gambling is not a modern invention. There are easy ways of doing a "Casino" that would fit in the theme.

Also the idea is not to do some complex multiplayer Texas Holdem poker. The idea is just to make small, simple PvE games.

I thought about a printed set of the 52 cards for normal card games but with Elements art.

I don´t like the idea of ingame poker, or such things.

Well, naturally it wouldn't be poker or blackjack. I was kidding about that part.

The only problem I see with this idea is that some newbie players could waste all their hard earned electrum on gambling without winning anything, then quit because of that.
Maybe it should only be available after you finish all the quests, just like false gods?

Wait... no poker or blackjack?  What would we be playing then?  Go Fish?

I like Xinef's idea that we make this available after beating all the quests.
Why is my avatar URL not recognized???

No, we'd be playing Snakes & Ladders and Ludo of course. What do you expect?

I'd vote yes as well. But the slot machine and bazaar should remain the main avenues of obtaining cards, not the casino.
But even the Slot and bazaar can obtain cards, but if casino would take a new advantage 'cuz we still spend our money, its not the problem for me :D . I think how to make it cooler is raise the minimum betting. hope helps :D

NB: Blackjack is fun!
