Welcome to Aussie Pinball David!
There are quite a few card themed games, you can help us narrow it down a little - was it electro mechanical, or solid state?
In the meantime, here's an assortment of card themed games - click through to each game and you might be able to find it. This is exactly how I found a game (card themed by coincidence) for a mate - he told me about the game he used to play, and we went through. Based on when he played it in the arcade, we knew it was between 1976-1980, and eventually found it to be Joker Poker - he has had my second Joker Poker now for about five years - doubt I'll even get that one back!
