A poker table, also known as a poker card table, is a table designed for playing card games. It first arose in popularity in the 1700s in Europe, as poker became widely popular, and spread to the US in the 1800s.
The poker table as we know it today consists of either a permanent table or a fold-out tabletop surface or a convertible poker table, typically oval-shaped, covered in either baize felt or Teflon-coated speed cloth.
