Fold Up Poker Table – Benefits Of Getting Your Own
A Fold Up Poker Table can make your poker more realistic and exciting. Providing a more realistic sound and a casino feel, you will ponder how you ever could have done without one. This guide will go over several of the advantages of owning your own fold up poker table. If you are desiring to augment poker to your club or bar, this applies also.
If you aren’t familiar with what a fold up poker table is, there are generally two types. One where the top is a single unbroken board and the legs fold up, the other where the top itself folds in 2 sections as well as the legs folding up under each half. The primary benefit of the latter, is it needs much less area to store it. Additionally, it costs a lot less to transport it lessening your total price significantly.
Ambiance: The chief benefit of a fold up poker table is the authentic sound and feel you get when you use one. The felt is stretched out over a padding that softens the clatter of the chips when they hit the table and the other chips. This gives a nice “plink” sound that will remind you of a casino table. It also aids in reducing the poker chip bounce. The wool felt makes for an easy slide of the cards across the table, and the vibrant colors all add to the feel of the game.
Options: Fold up poker tables come in a number of sizes and mostly two shapes, octagonal and oval. The oval tables are long and can accommodate as many as 10 people depending on their distance end to end. The octagonal tables sit up to 8 people. Practically all fold up tables have built in beverage holders to keep your drink from sitting on the table. They also have a comfortable cushioned arm rest that surrounds the table.
The next advantage to fold up poker tables more than the permanent ones is they are moveable. You can fold them up and transport them to a friend’s house. I would warn you though, that they are incredibly heavy so this is a two guy job. In addition, because of their mass you will need a truck or large van since they usually will not fit in the trunk of a an automobile or the rear seat, even the bi-fold tables.
You can set up a fold up poker table in a matter of moments and are all set for some serious poker. Then when you are done with it, simply fold it up and place it in a closet or underneath a bed and you get your space back. You are not able to do that with a permanent poker table.
