ABSTRACT:
A game table fabric to be applied to the game table bed of a game table is provided, wherein the game table fabric comprises a woolen fabric having a nonpermanent releasable adhesive applied to a back side of the woolen fabric so that the game table fabric may be directly applied to the game table bed and the game table fabric of the present invention is readily repositionable during installation and removable after an extended period of use. The nonpermanent releasable adhesive is formed of a low tack polymeric material which is suitable for releasably adhering the game table fabric to the game table bed. By applying the game table fabric of the present invention directly to the game table bed, the use of additional glues or adhesives to adhere the game table fabric to the game table bed is essentially eliminated. Such glues and adhesives constitute contaminants to the game table bed and contribute to increase wear of the game table fabric and reduce the rapid and true carry of the ball on the playing surface of the game table fabric. The playing surface of the game table fabric of the present invention provides an attractive and functional playing surface for the rapid and true (non-veering) carry (roll) of the ball during play on a game table. In another embodiment, the game table fabric of the present invention provides an attractive and functional surface for card and dice game tables, such as those typically found in casinos.
