I live and work as a poker dealer in Vegas, and we use kem. I think both of them are great cards to use, i am starting to see more and more copag decks in casinos, but for right now kem is the card that most major casinos use.

I like them both but the edge goes to KEM cards. I have 2 decks of Copag and KEM that I use to deal with. From my experience the KEM card last longer and getting replacements for bent or missing cards is alot easier. I use these ones when I'm having a party and I'm dealing. The Copag cards for me are good , and for me, easier to shuffle but don't last as long. These are the ones I use when I'm working. I've had the same KEM decks for about 2 years but I'm on my 3rd deck of Copag

I actually prefer the Copag cards feel and look (and they're a little cheaper) over the KEM cards. I agree with previous posters that the KEM cards last longer... but I use Copag cards for weekly poker games and they easily last a year at a time.

kem is better for playing, lasts longer than copaq.
if youre cheating while playing, you better pick up a deck of bees or tally-hos, as plastic cards are very hard to be manipulated flawlessly.
same if youre doing magic. paper cards.
