Hispanic / Latino flavored deck in the Waite-Smith vein, but with several unusual twists. As its subtitle suggests, the imagery style mimics that often found in Lotería cards -- Lotería being a board game of chance similar to bingo. However, the images themselves fluctuate between highly traditional and highly modern. The card titles are rendered in what can best be described as "Spanglish"; the majors use the English titles, but the article "The" is swapped out for the Spanish articles of "El", "La", and "Los" -- for example, "El Hierophant" and "La Temperence". In the minors, the English word "of" is exchanged for the Spanish "del", as in "Ace de Cups". The numbers 2 - 10 are rendered in Spanish, such as "Tres de Swords" and "Cinco de Wands". The Pentacles suit has been renamed "Bitcoin".The pip cards are non-scenice.
