An apparatus for holding and securing a plurality of playing cards includes a base, first and second side members coupled to opposite ends of the base and extending upwardly therefrom, and card retention means supported above the base by the first and second side members for engaging and securing the playing cards continuously along the front and back surfaces thereof. The card retention means includes a longitudinal groove in the upper surface of the base between the first and second side members, a first dowel coupled between the side members above the surface of the base in approximate alignment with the groove, a second dowel coupled between the side members above the first dowel and to the rear thereof, and a third dowel coupled between the side members below and behind the second dowel and spaced therefrom so as to permit a plurality of overlapped cards to pass therebetween. The side members are of sufficient size so as to conceal the faces of the playing cards held in the device from an opponent's view.
