Would not buy this product again
Received and was defective. 3 Legs opened, one leg would not. Had to get tools out to remove and try to correct. The little press pin was broken inside of leg shaft. Called Amazon, reordered and they issued a pickup for the defective one. UPS came once, I was not home. Said they were coming again but never did. Received second table and after calling Amazon again, ups finally came to pick up defective one. When setting up second table, legs opened but can't close them. I now have a permanent poker table sitting in the corner. It is a bad product and I would not buy it again. I phoned Rio products in New Jersey to tell them of the poor quality of their product. They phoned back in 1 1/2 weeks saying they might have some parts for this discontinued product. I have not called back.
Not a good product unless you can modify the leg collapse system with hitch pins.

Poker fan
Sturdy. Tight felt. Looks great. Heavy duty plastic. Problems: Cup holders could be deeper, very easy to knock something over. Not much chip space (only a problem if you're winning!), and difficult to close up the legs. All fairly minor details & I think this was a great purchase.

Nice table
This is a great folding table. Only 1 thing I find lacking and that is the chip trays are not quite the right size and when placing chips in them, if not inserted exactly correct, the chips tend to fall out on the floor.
I've had two of the folding top tables and they went bad simply because the felt kept getting tugged on when opening and closing. This table being solid on the top, has not and will not have that problem.
Finding a place to store the table when folded is a little bit of a problem, but thats my problem not the tables.
My fellow players have all raved about this table too.

this is a steal!
I just received my table by fedex. If you want the look of a poker table and the same fun that comes with it then by this table. Put away the card table,this table fits eight people out the box. Look guys! No assembly required. With the price of this table only around $107.00, and free shipping,this is a steal. And dont forget that it has folding legs built in which makes for easy storage.Rio Brands Foldaway Octagon Poker Table

Durable, Sturdy Table
We bought this table for my husband's weekly poker night. It has proven to be very durable and sturdy. It is much better quality then what we thought we would be receiving. The only improvement that I hear the guys asking for is a bumper around the edges of the table. I highly recommend buying this table.

What Everybody Ought to Know About Poker Games?! Gambling. First off, I should familiarize you with gambling in general. This term has much in common with such conceptions like money and excitement. Anyway, gambling means "wagering money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods". Gambling is legal in the US, therefore everybody can try one's luck.
It goes without saying that folks spend huge money in their excitement, loose their heads being growing heated. There are a lot of spielings like gambling machines, houses, casinos, horse races, fisticuffs, cock-fightings, card games, etc. And of course it should be singled out the poker both online game and real one.
Poker History. The history of Poker is thought to have evolved over more than ten centuries from various games, all involving the basic principals of ranked card or domino combinations and the use of 'bluffing' to deceive opponents. One popular belief is that a game similar to poker was first invented by the Chinese sometime before 969 A.D, when The Emperor Mu-tsung is reported to have played "domino cards" with his wife on new years Eve.
Egyptians in the 12th & 13th centuries are known to have used a form of playing cards, and in 16th century Persia "Ganjifa" or "Treasure Cards" were used for a variety of betting games. A Ganjifa deck consisted of 96 elaborate cards, often made of paper thin slices of ivory or precious wood. The Persians played "As Nas" which utilized 25 cards, rounds of betting and hierarchical hand rankings.
A French game named "Poque" and a German game named "Pochen" became very popular in the 17 & 18th centuries, both developed from the 16th century Spanish game called “Primero” which involved three cards being dealt to each player. Bluffing, or betting high stakes whilst holding poor cards to deceive opponents, was an integral part of the game. Primero dates back to 1526 and is often referred to as "poker's mother" as it is the first confirmed version of a game directly related to modern day poker.
What is it? Poker is a popular type of card game in which players gamble on the superior value of the card combination ("hand") in their possession, by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains "in the hand" after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.).
 By the way, poker as a card game has many available varieties as follows:
Video poker is a single-player computer game that operates like a slot machine. The concept of video poker is very simple. Players usually play one or more hands of 5 card draw poker on a machine and if you draw what is considered a winning hand - you win!
Online poker game is currently around on the web due to various online casinos and poker rooms which gather people from all over the world to play games like poker, blackjack, roulette, slots, etc. Talking about variants, hands may be formed using cards which are concealed from others, or from a combination of concealed cards and community cards. Just take a room and play a game.
