There are some other variations for the "Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack" game. Here are a few that you may have seen. They include box variations, tray styles, & cart variants.

	Plastic Tray Box   This is the cart tray that most people will have. It was the original version of the Poker game & by far the best design. There are two finger-slots on the sides for easy cart removal. The plastic tray provides an excellent source of protection for the most common of all games. In later tray versions, you will notice that the plastic is thinner. This is probably due to cost cuts in production.
	Fold-Down Cut-Out Slot  This is the Fold-down design tray. It is probably the rarest of the tray designs. I have never seen it on a Mattel, or INTV box. This one is from the Digiplay Poker box. The cart fits snugly in the cardboard slot. There are two finger slots cut out at the top & bottom. Very unusual !
	Cut-Out finger Slot   This is the same design as the original plastic tray box, but without the plastic. The cardboard has been folded under the cart & the finger holes are smaller. This was done to eliminate the plastic tray. Another ploy to cut cost on production. You will not see these too often.
	Flap-Style cart slot   When INTV started producing the Intellivision games, they were cutting costs anywhere they could! The simple flap box design might have seemed like a good idea....(yeah right). The cart fits in the center slot with a special slot for the instructions. These boxes get tore up very easily. Be careful !
	Original  Poker back   This is the back of the original Poker box. It is most likely the same as the one in your collection. Look below to see some of the different types of backs that are also out there.
	International Poker back   In the International version of the Poker box, the back is missing all text. Instead, there are two slots which hold the international instructions. The English version of the instructions will be inside. This was done so that the game could be dispersed worldwide in the same fashion.
	INTV Poker back   The INTV flap style box has the same back as does the original box. The differences are in the outlines & borders. Where the original has them, the flap box does not. (Saving on Ink as well?)

Some more Interesting Variations of Poker

	Insert Line Notice the line on the cart that tells you where to insert to?  Well, on the original Poker & Blackjack cart, there was no such line. It is beleived to be the only game cart that does not have this. The original cart is on the left side.
	Cart Variants A really weird thing I noticed was on some of my Digiplay game carts. The plastic casing shell is actually brown! Did the Digimed/ Digiplay company use a different type of plastic during production? Look at the INTV poker next to the Digiplay cart.
