Best Answer

Used cards are either sold or given away to customers, holes are punched in used cards to distinguish them from cards in play. It is a security issue to discourage cheating, cards with holes are definitely not used by the casino, so if a card with a hole shows up in the deck the casino knows someone is trying to cheat.

Nothing. If the casino deals the cards face down you are only allowed to touch your first two cards. Only one hand on the cards. The hit cards are laid in front of the bet. If the casino deals the cards face up on the table you are not allowed to touch them at all.

Can any player demand a cutting of the cards?

This depends on the house rules of the casino you are playing in. Most of the times any player who is in the hand can demand the cards being cut before the dealer distributes the cards and after the cards are dealt. In some casino's players can ask to cut the deck after the flop but this is rarely demanded.
