Poker, blackjack, roulette or craps table: the right casino table is not the same for a home games room, a club, an association or a casino party company. Number of players, folding or fixed legs, dealer slot, plain or custom felt, budget: this guide covers the criteria that really matter before you buy.
Start with the game: one table per discipline
Poker table
A poker table is oval so that everyone can see each other and the cards move around easily. There are two main families: the table with a dealer slot (a straight side where the dealer sits, often with a chip rack and a drop box) and the table without a dealer slot, symmetrical, for games among friends where the button rotates. Allow 8 to 10 players on a table of 200 to 240 cm. A neoprene jersey or microfiber felt, foam edges covered in faux leather and stainless steel cup holders make the difference over the evenings.

Blackjack table
Easy to recognize by its half-moon shape, the blackjack table seats 5 to 7 players facing the dealer. Well-designed models include a chip rack on the dealer side, cup holders and a felt printed with the rules. After roulette, it is the most requested table for casino events: quick to explain, and everyone plays against the bank.

Roulette table
A roulette table is rectangular: the wheel at one end, the betting layout on the rest of the top. Be careful, the wheel is not always supplied with the table: check the product page. A compact folding-leg model is enough for a private party; casino event companies prefer a long table with a wheel of 50 cm or more for the visual effect.

Craps table
The most spectacular and the most space-hungry: long, with high rails so the dice stay on the table, and the full betting layout. Best suited to gaming rooms and event companies that have the space and the audience.
And the others: sic bo, baccarat, boule
For these games, a multi-purpose folding-leg gaming table with the dedicated layout does the job very well, and costs much less than a specific table. See our casino mats guide to choose the right layout.
Folding legs or fixed table?
It is the number one criterion if the table does not stay in place.
- Folding legs: the table stores flat against a wall, fits in a van and sets up in two minutes. Essential for associations, clubs that rent a room, casino party hosts and anyone without a dedicated room. Steel legs with a safety lock last for years if you lubricate them once a year.
- Fixed table: heavier, more stable, better looking, with wood finishes and padded rails. It is the choice for a home games room or a club with its own premises.
- The compromise: the poker table top, an oval or round top with felt and foam edges, to place on a dining table. Zero clutter, lower price.

How many players?
| Table | Players | Usual dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Oval poker | 8 to 10 (+ dealer) | 200 to 240 x 100 to 120 cm |
| Round poker | 6 to 8 | 120 to 150 cm in diameter |
| Half-moon blackjack | 5 to 7 | 180 to 220 cm wide |
| Roulette | 6 to 8 | 180 to 250 cm long |
| Craps | 8 to 12 | 300 cm and more |
Allow at least 80 cm of clearance around the table for the chairs and for the dealer to move around.
The felt: plain, printed or custom
The felt is the part of the table that wears, and the part everyone sees. Three options:
- Plain felt in baize or microfiber: understated, affordable, replaceable.
- Printed felt in neoprene jersey: race track for poker, betting areas for blackjack. Non-slip, wipe clean with a sponge.
- Custom felt: your logo, your colors, your club's name. It is what casino event companies and businesses choose.
Our custom Casino poker table is designed for exactly that: 10 players and a dealer, 238 x 122 cm top, folding legs, jersey felt printed with your design, graphic design included in the price. A real tournament table that folds away.

Accessories that change the game
- Chip rack and drop box on the dealer side, for a table with a dealer.
- Stainless steel cup holders: no more spilled drinks on the felt.
- Protective cover for transport and storage.
- Chairs at the right height: poker is played seated at 75 cm, blackjack often standing or on a high stool.

Looking after your casino table
- Vacuum the felt on low power, blot stains without rubbing, never use solvent.
- Check the folding-leg locks before each set-up and lubricate the hinges once a year.
- Clean the faux leather rails with a damp cloth.
- Store the table flat, in a dry place, with its cover closed.
Frequently asked questions
Which casino table for an evening with friends?
An oval folding-leg poker table for 8 to 10 players, or a table top to place on your dining table. To vary the games, add a blackjack or roulette mat on top.
Which table should I choose for a casino event?
The three tables that work everywhere: roulette, blackjack and poker. Choose folding-leg models with a chip rack and neoprene jersey felts, which stand up better to transport and repeated events.
Is the wheel supplied with the roulette table?
Not always. Check the product page: some tables are sold bare, and the wheel is chosen separately according to its diameter.
Can the felt of a poker table be customized?
Yes. The custom Casino table comes with a felt printed with your logo, graphic design included. Other tables can be fitted with a custom felt made to the size of the top.
