Table Hardware

Custom Poker Table Craftsmanship

Every table at Pokercanyon Magneticisland is built for long sessions, clear sightlines, and the tactile pleasure of live play. These are not standard casino tables—they are precision instruments for serious poker.

10-Seater Oval Design

Each table is a custom 10-seater oval, providing ample space for every player and clear sightlines to the felt. Generous elbow room supports comfortable long sessions, while the oval shape ensures no player is at a disadvantage. Precision-built for stability and durability.

Magnetic-Teal Teflon Speed Cloth

The playing surface uses premium magnetic-teal Teflon speed cloth, offering a smooth, fast glide for cards and chips. The Teflon coating reduces friction for effortless dealing, the magnetic-teal colour enhances card visibility, and the surface is easy to clean and maintain for a pristine look.

Italian Leather Armrests & Copper Cup Holders

Padded Italian leather armrests and recessed copper cup holders add luxury and practicality to every seat. Buttery-soft leather provides all-night comfort, recessed copper cup holders prevent spills, and the copper accents match the venue's design language.

Open Seating

The Card Lounge Experience

Open Tables and Accessible Seating

Our card lounge features open poker tables with accessible seating rotations, so you can join a face-to-face game whenever a seat is available. Walk-in players are welcome during operating hours, seating rotations keep games fair and social, and a host is available to guide you to an open seat.

Social Face-to-Face Poker

Experience the camaraderie of real poker: read opponents, handle physical chips, and enjoy the tactile thrill of live play. There are no screens or avatars—just real people and real cards. Engage in table talk, build your poker reputation, and settle into a game that suits both casual and serious players.
