Poker Table Felt. Using a quality Poker Table Felt is an essential part to building a quality poker table. All of the poker felts will provide an excellent playing surface; cards will slide with ease on any of these felts. These poker felts will give your table that high end look and feel.
There is no better way to make your poker table a one of a kind than to add a custom poker table felt. Now you can spend a lot of money on expensive felts, or in the spirit of the site.. you can do it yourself. Believe it or not its actually not all that difficult to add a graphic to your poker table felt. There are two easy ways to go about doing it. The first is more durable, but will only allow you to use one color and only a dark color unless you are using a really light colored felt. The second method will allow you to make detailed multi colored graphics, but may need to be touched up if your poker table gets a lot of use.
Stencil and Dye
An easy way to add a graphic to your felt is to make a stencil of whatever you want on the table and mist dye over the area. If you try this I would perfect your technique on a piece of scrap felt before you go at your table.

This new portable felt has a layout for the popular casino game, Texas Holdem Poker, the same game played on ESPN's 'World Poker Tour' and Travel Channel's 'World Series of Poker.' It can easily be stapled to a homemade table and be used on a folding poker table for parties.
You need to make sure that you have an ultra fine mist so that there is no bleading. In the past I have used a martini mister . You also have to make sure that you only spray a small amount at a time. This will prevent bleeding and make your image crisp and sharp around the edges.
Stencil and Fabric/Craft Paint
You can make very complex designs with some stencils made from posterboard, fabric paint, and a little imagination. The nice thing about using stencils is that you can try them out on a safe surface before you destroy your poker table felt. You can also paint freehand but the edges will never be as crisp as if you use stencils.
Whatever you do to add graphics to your felt, never try to customize your felt before it's stretched and attached to your poker table. This will result in distorted or off center pictures once you finally do get it onto the table.

Rye Park Gaming manufactures casino grade polyester custom poker table layouts (also known as Poker Felts).
Our exclusive fabric is created specifically for use as poker tables felts and is post-treated with a 'brushing' process, which creates the perfect 'nap' or 'pile' on the poker fabric. This nap allows the cards to move across the felts, but not too fast. This nap also creates a soft feel so it will not hurt poker players' or dealers' fingers overtime.
Our Custom Poker Felts and Poker Layouts
Using the latest technology, our deep ink penetration on our Poker Felts and Blackjack felts creates long lasting vibrant colors and images, and reduces usage wear in the dealer area, increasing the life span of each
layout. Only the highest quality synthetic material is used for its non-stretch, fire retardant, stain- resistant and ultimate wear-resistant characteristics. The backing material under the layout provides extra durability.
Longer wearing poker felts require fewer changes, less down time, less labor costs to apply and remove them, which translates to more profit. Rye Park has recently started producing Polyester layouts also, read our section on Polyester layouts. (link to the Polyester page/section)

The Most important characteristics about poker table felts or blackjack table felts:
1. The ink or dye must penetrate deep into the fabric so the layout will not fade or turn white.

2. The material must be made of the proper fabric to ensure the cards move smoothly. The cut or nap of the fabric also must be the correct length. The nap must be short enough that the dealers can pitch the cards with ease to the players. How many ram slots do i have. It is also important that the nap is not too short, too short of a nap can cause the players and dealer finger tips to get sore. This is the one major complaint we hear about the suited speed cloths out there. We do not carry suited speed cloth, the cards do move fast, but these layouts are made of polyester and they will not last in a Casino environment. This is an example of 'you get what you pay for'! Suited speed cloth is very inexpensive and that is why it is so popular , we believe.
3. The poker table layout must also be printed in the correct colors to allow for clear view of the chips in play. This is true for the home game as well as the Casino. The first thing we ask is; are there any chips the same color as the graphics in the logo. Casino's security camera's will lose the chips if they are on a similar color in the logo. So you can see that this will also apply for the home game. You don't want to lose chips in the logo graphics on the table. This can be frustrating and can be easily avoided.
