A typical casino poker table has a length of between 92 and 104 inches (234 and 264 cm), a width of 44 inches (112 cm), and a height of 30 inches (76 cm). You can expect to also add 4 inches (10 cm) to the length and width for the outer 'racetrack' railing. The weight commonly ranges from 170 to 200 pounds (77 to 91 kilos ) but can go up to as high as 350 pounds (159 kilos).

Outside of casino models, there is no official or standard sizing for poker tables as it all depends on who is making it and the shape of the table. In fact, there is pretty much a table out there to fit any space. From roll-up poker mats to octagon, round, and oval folding poker tables, with and without legs. And, of course, you have the high-end professional versions that are meant to simulate casino quality tables. Let's take a look at the various types and shapes found in home poker tables, what they are made of, and how many people they typically seat.

Please note, dimensions will be listed in the following format in inches: Length x Width x Height (cm conversion)

Oval Poker Tables

Oval poker tables are the most common design and home models usually fold up for storage.

• Sizes
  Permanent home versions are often 92x44x30 (234x112x76). Foldable models are usually about 84x42x30 (213x107x76) but can be as small as around 73 inches long and 32 inches wide.
• Weight
  54 to 85 pounds.
• ​Materials
  Tops are usually felt-covered wood, the railing vinyl, and the legs steel. Materials can vary based on the quality and price point.
• Number Of Players
  Most oval tables are designed to hold 9 or 10 players, however, some of the smaller models typically only hold 6 or 7 comfortably. To truly hold 9 or 10 players, 84-inch width and up is recommended.

Octagon Poker Tables

Octagonal tables have grown in popularity since most home poker games consist of 4-6 people. These tables are nice and compact and handle that number of people easily.

• Sizes
  48x48x30 (122x122x76) for foldable models. Tabletop versions are usually the same size but occasionally are found a bit bigger, around 50 inches wide.
• Weight
  45 to 60 pounds with legs, 20-40 pounds for tabletop versions.
• ​Materials
  Folding octagonal tables are usually felt-covered wood, the railing plastic and occasionally vinyl, with the steel legs. Tabletop versions are often felt-covered plastic, with a plastic border or 'railing'. Again, materials can vary based on the quality and price point.
• Number Of Players
  Most octagon-shaped table, like this one found on Amazon, are designed to hold up to 8 players. However, most versions will comfortably hold 5 or 6.

Round Poker Tables

Sunny Designs Poker Table

Round poker tables are actually the least common design you will see and are typically only available in permanent options.

• Sizes
  48 to 60 inches wide. Tabletop versions are hard to find but are about 48 inches wide.
• Weight
  Too rare to put a common weight.
• ​Materials
  Varies.
• Number Of Players
  There's a reason round tables are out of vogue; they just don't hold as many people as oval or octagonal models do. Most round poker tables hold 4 people, 5 if you squeeze in.

Square Poker Tables

Square tables are also rare and about 34 inches across. Since they only hold 4 people, most people opt for a different shape, or just use a square table from Walmart. Even so, if you only hold small games, they can be a decent option.. if you can find one. Tabletop versions that can be set on an existing dining room table do exist, however, my advice is to instead get a rectangular mat… covered in the next section.

What About Poker Mats?

Poker mats are an excellent option for the occasional impromptu card game. They are light and portable as is humanly possible, since they are made of either cloth or rubber, and typically come in a rectangular or oval shape. Poker mats, like this one found on Amazon, are usually about 72×36 (183×91).

Space Needed For A Poker Table

Ideally, you want at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance around a poker table to allow for adequate seating and movement around the room. If you have a small square poker room, I would suggest an octagon-shaped table, as these seem to fit best in small spaces while allowing for a maximum number of people to be seated. If your room is rectangular, any oval table like this nice Amazon model, that fits within the parameters of the space will do fine.

Important Tip: When choosing a poker table make sure that you look at the actual total dimensions of the table including any railings. Often, the sale listing of a poker table will only include the dimensions of the actual playing area of the table!

Just to be safe, my advice is to allow another 4 inches (10 cm) to the length and width of any poker table you find online that has a racetrack design or an armrest area on the table. Or, contact the manufacturer and see if you can get exact detailed specs.

What About Chairs?

Remember to always leave ample space and elbow room around your poker table for people to be able to get in and out of their chairs and maneuver their poker chips. I would recommend just getting folding chairs for your poker buddies unless you are playing at a dining room table that already has nice sturdy chairs. On that front, I suggest that you invest in some heavy-duty chairs that will hold players who might be on the heavy side. Here are some that should do the job nicely. They have a really high weight capacity.

Do Covering Types Affect Table Size?

All types of table coverings can be affixed to any table dimension. Even so, while covering types do not directly affect the space that a table will fit, you may want to consider using a faster cloth in more enclosed spaces. With standard cloth, the cards will not move across the surface and someone dealing at the end of the table in a recreational game will have a hard time sliding the cards all the way to the other end on slower cloth. There are two common options for poker table coverings, or felt; standard felt or speed cloth.

1. Standard Felt
   This is the standard choice for the most poker tables, especially lower-priced versions. The surface has a roughness to it and often it is challenging to get the cards to slide all the way out to where you want them while dealing. However, this is the least expensive surface and is fine for most players. Even so, some people like to upgrade to a 'professional' surface, called speed cloth.
2. Speed Cloth
   A lot of poker enthusiasts and professional poker players prefer the surface they play on to be a bit faster than standard felt. Therefore, they often want to play with speed cloth. Made of a more slippery type of polyester, you will have no issues getting cards to slide from one end of the table to the other end while dealing. However, players not used to a faster surface may grumble that the cards are sliding too fast, and sometimes flying off the table. The vast majority of poker tables do not come standard with speed cloth, as it is usually an upgrade only if one is willing to pay for the option.

A Brief History of Poker Table Sizes

The earliest card tables show up in the 1700s in response to the growing popularity of card games around Europe. In fact, it was common for people to buy card tables as fine furniture for their home, prominently displayed. Many versions even had a folding top, which allowed them to function as another piece of furniture when not in use. The wealthier classes paid exorbitant amounts for higher-end tables. Most of the designs were semicircular or oval and typically 36 inches in diameter.

Don't forget to account for chairs in your space as well. Many poker tables come with chairs while the table tops will not.

Types of Poker Tables

There are many different types of poker tables on the market to choose from. We have listed the different kinds below so you can learn about each one and see the differences between them.

• Roll up Poker Table Toppers – This table topper is usually blue and has a rubber backing that will stick to any surface you lay it on. The roll up toppers measure 70' x 35' and is water-resistant. You can place these toppers on oblong tables and then when the game is over you can roll them up and store them conveniently where they won't get ruined. One drawback to this type of poker table top is that they can curl up around the edges and not lay flat.
• Folding Poker Table Top – Table top poker tables that fold up are a popular option for those weekly poker games. Most are octagonal shaped and measure 48' and fit up to 8 people. The green felt featured on these tables gives them a real, poker table feel. Most foldable table top poker tables have chip trays and cup holders as well. They fold up and fit into the included carrying case making transport easy. There are oval models available that can be ordered that even have a padded rail that are a little more expensive.
• Collapsible Poker Table – A collapsible poker table does not need any other table supporting it and is a standalone table that you can use anywhere. They are smaller than professional poker tables and can fit up to 10 players at a table. If you are the house dealer (or someone else is) you may prefer just 9 people with the middle position as the dealer spot. The padded arm rests and lightly padded felt tops make these tables feel almost like the real thing.
• Professional Poker Table – This is the most expensive of all the options but you are getting your money's worth since you will have a table that will probably last a lifetime. If the felt wears out you can replace it easily. The typical measurements of a professional poker table measure approximately 96' x 48' and can fit 10 players and a dealer without crowding anyone. These tables are lower to the ground and are very sturdy and durable. Professional poker tables usually come with options like cup holders, tip tray, rake slot, and dealer tray that will add to the price but also add to the table's appeal too.

What to Look before Buying a Poker Table

There are several things you should look for before your purchase a poker table of any kind. In order for you to ensure that you choose the right one, you want to consider these things.

• Playing Frequency – Knowing how often you will be playing will be an important factor in the kind of table that you choose. If you rarely play then using the kitchen table is just fine. If you will be playing weekly, then consider getting a foldable table or a folding table top.
• Size of the playing space – Get a measurement of the room you will be playing poker in. This will help you determine what size table or table topper you have space for. If you are getting a table topper that folds up, measure the table you will be placing the topper on. Don't forget to allow space for chairs, moving around and extra seating.
• Group Size – How many players do you host on your game nights? Most poker tables can accommodate up to 8 players. Some of the folding table models can accommodate 9 or 10 players. Make sure that the table or topper is sturdy and durable so it can stand up to frequent use. Most folding poker table tops are pretty durable and if they are stored properly when not in use and are not used for things other than card games they will last a long time.
• Felt Surface – The quality of the felt on your table is something you should consider when purchasing a poker table. You want the felt to be as high quality as possible because that will enhance the game when the cards glide smoothly across the felt. High end felt is carved out of the cloth and is made by polyester and olefin. Velveteen felt is a usual choice for lower end tables or roll ups.
• Table shape & Size – Poker tables come in a variety of shapes. The most common shapes are octagonal and oval. Some may be round. Look at the room you are placing the table or topper to determine which shape will work best for your space. If you are setting up a designated poker space you may want to consider a higher end table that looks great and features padded arm rests and other features that will make the space feel like an authentic casino.

Conclusion

Poker is a very popular game that many people enjoy on a formal or informal basis. While most people that play do not intend to go pro, you still want to have a space that gives you the atmosphere of a casino which makes the game better for everyone. With so many different options to choose from you can create a poker game space that you and every one of your card game guests will love.

The three top rated poker tables we have featured above are all table top models which is one of the most popular poker table styles you can get. People prefer these because most don't have room in their homes for a full sized poker table to be left up all the time. These foldable, convenient table tops have a lot of great features but can be folded up and put away when the game is not being played.

Another advantage to these three top selections is that you can put them in their carrying bags and take them anywhere you want to go. They are very portable and allow you and your friends to play poker on hunting or fishing trips, tailgating gatherings, or anywhere else you want to play.
