Clubs

Clubs symbol for Casino Logo

There is a version which is no less curious. According to it, the cards allegedly reflect time. In fact, the red and black colors are consistent with the notions of day and night. 52 sheets correspond to the number of weeks in a year, and the 53d joker also symbolizes a leap year. The four suits correlate with spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Jack goes after 10 and has the value of 11 points, the Queen – is 12, the King – is 13, and the Ace counts as one. So, the total points amount in the deck is 364. Adding one joker, we get the number of days in a year. Moreover, the number of lunar months (13) is the same as the number of cards of each suit.
