ABSTRACT:
A card table, card table topper and card serving segments are disclosed which facilitate the removal of cards placed on a card table. The card table and table topper include a card server track which, in certain preferred embodiments, includes an elevated surface which lifts a card from the top surface of a card table as the card is drawn towards an inner face of the track. Thereafter, an abrupt declination of an outer face of the track exposes edges of the card thereby facilitating lifting and/or removing the card from the table. Alternate preferred embodiments include a card server comprised of a groove wherein cards drawn across the groove are easily grasped for identification or removal from the table. Card server segments are also disclosed wherein each segment includes a right end, a left end, an inner face, outer face and a maximum height adjacent to the outer face. The segments are configured as straight segments, curved segments and combination straight/curved segments and can be affixed, one to another, so as to form card server tracks which also facilitate the lifting (for identification) or complete removal of a card drawn across the track from the top surface of a table upon which the card is placed.
