How to choose a poker table

When you’re shopping for your home bar poker table there are some tips to bear in mind to make sure you get the right table for you. One of the first considerations is the amount of space you have available in your home bar and the number of players you are likely to assemble. Poker tables come in an array of sizes from cozy four-seaters through to substantial 10-seaters.

Up next there are the installation options. By this we mean do you want a table that can be folded away easily or one which is more of a permanent feature.

Thirdly we have the all-important cloth finish. As well as coming in an array of colors with green, red, blue and black being most popular, there is also the suited variety which, as the name suggests, bears an attractive pattern of repeated card suits. To top this off we also have an option for a speed cloth. This is treated with Teflon making it liquid repellant – great for cleaning up drink spills, and also means that the dealer can easily slide cards to any player no matter where they are sitting.

Giantex foldable 8-player poker table

Giantex Foldex 8 Player Casino Texas table

The Giantex is a well-rounded entry-level contender for best poker table with strong steel legs and a supportive steel frame. This is a portable table that you can fold away in between games. We love the padded armrest that incorporates sizable cup holders for beers or cocktail glass. This cushioned rim is water resistant as you might expect but there are models on the market which aren’t, so it is worth making double sure. In our opinion, the armrests are a vital part of any good poker table, comfort and practicality are essential when playing. The table top itself comprises solid wood and is level with no bumps or dips.

The felt is labelled as speed cloth and waterproof. It’s padded too and has a professional feel to it.
Size-wise, when it’s extended in use the table measures 73” x 32” x 30”. Once folded it collapses to a manageable 36.5” x 32” x 7”. While being sturdy the Giantex is also lightweight enough at 54 lbs to move by one person.

In use this table may be better suited for six rather than eight people if you want to give everyone plenty of arm space. It’s definitely a robust piece and we think that it would survive daily use including collapsing it down after each use. Its hinges are strong, and the blocks underneath are satisfyingly solid for longevity. The felt is good quality but it’s not as fast as other speed cloths we’ve trialed.

Lancaster 10 Player Casino Style Folding Poker Game Table

Lancaster 10 player poker game LED lights

The Lancaster is a table with a special place in our hearts. Falling neatly in between a budget table and a higher end purchase, this is ‘the one with the lights’. It has to be said that the array of blue LEDs which encircle the playing area are this table’s defining point. They add an extra dimension to the experience and are quite fun especially if you play in low light.

This poker table seats ten people although eight is best to give everyone decent space. The rail is well cushioned so you can lean forwards for the all-important bluffing Mexican stand-off. The metal cup holders are a little disappointing in that they can be a bit loose and not up to the quality we expect., but will still hold a good whisky glass. However the quality of the cloth makes up for it; it plays fast and the dealer can easily slide cards to the far ends with the minimum of fuss.

The Lancaster is a fold-up table which makes it useful if space is tight. When it’s in place the well-constructed table is solid and is great value for money.
