If you are like many people across the world, a weekly card game may be be part of your regular routine. They have become increasingly popular social gatherings for those who take the game seriously and for those who just play for the fun of the game. And if you want to make the night even a little more special, you might consider getting a real Poker Table to play on.
While the Knights of Camelot sat around a round table, players at poker nights normally sit around an oval one. I am sure you have seen them in movies and television. They are normally covered in a green type of felt called baize which aids the cards in sliding across the surface easily and the edge of it normally has a raised padded area called the rail for players to rest their arms on, and the rail may also have cup holders too.
The professional poker tables for television also feature novelties like pocket cameras so that the viewer can see the player’s cards, but unless you are super serious about your home game, and plan to televise it to the neighborhood, this is not something you need.
Some of them also have a special indented area for the dealer to sit at. But in most home games, there is no fixed dealer, the role is rotated amongst the players, so this would not be necessary.
If you think a poker table is exactly what you need, you have a number options to look at. The first thing you could try is to make it yourself, though it is a big job and you would need to have access to the right tools and of course have the ability to actually make something like this. There are a number of sites online that will guide you through the process of building a poker table, but be warned it is not easy and a shoddy piece of work will not be that impressive on your card night with friends.
Although you may find a shop or two in your city that sell them, because they are a speciality item you may have to search a bit. Your best bet is from one of the makers who sell online. Many deliver worldwide, and will even make to your specifications.
There are many different sizes, colors and types available and the prices range depending on these factors. There are also a range of special types, they could double as a bar, or a dining room option, there are fold-up ones, and ones that look like they come right out of the casino.
A cheaper and simpler solution offered by many of these companies is a table top, that you can place on an existing surface in your house. For the small neighborhood game this can definitely be the best answer, but the choice is yours, as there are many different options out there. So get searching right now, the poker table you are looking for is just a click of the mouse away.
