Side by Side Comparison of: Cardinal Industries vs Trademark Poker vs Da Vinci vs Ideal

This set it perfect great price absolutely love this item exactly what I was looking for

Great, comes with full poker chips and decks of cards

This is awesome! Just what I was looking for and worth the price. Don't bother with the real expensive ones. This one has everything you need and a durable case!

Has provide me and my friends hours of entertainment. Comes with everything you need to start playing. Case is strong - my friend's 2 year old boy likes to jump on it while the big dogs play and it has not dented or changed in shape one bit.

Okay after reading the reviews, I went ahead and purchased this product. I honestly believe that it had more than enough features that I had paid for. This was a gift that I got for my boyfriend. The shipping was awesome, I bought it Saturday and got in on Tuesday. Many people were complaining about that it did not come with all that it listed in the details, well if you look in the features kind of at the top, it says it comes with one deck of cards, and no where does it mention that there are dice. Also the PICTURE ON THE BOX of what it looks like shows what it comes with. The aluminum case that it comes in is extremely nice, and durable. Yes things may easily get shifted in the case, but so does monopoly even when you put that away neat. Also the poker chips are really nice and seems durable as well. They may not be as pretty or done up as most, but you better be willing to pay more for your set if your looking for style while playing. I am from Las Vegas and in order for you to buy even one like this one it is about $50.00+ there. Overall I am happy with this purchase, and so is my boyfriend.

wow, the price is outstanding for such a durable case with very durable chips inside... I bought 2 (one for my son and one for a nephew) and they freaked! Now I don't have to worry about my expensive set getting played with, since they have their own now! It's nice enough to actually set up a small poker game night but cheap enough to buy for a kid... If you're new to the game of poker (especially texas hold em) you can buy this set and it will suffice but chances are you'll want a larger set soon after!

Worked well for our poker night. It's durable!

Best shoe you can get without stealing one from a casino.

Hold 6 decks with enough space to get the cards in and out. Cards feed well, it is pretty much what you see is what you get.

Dealer approved, great quality for practice!

This thing does the job. The roller is great and has a nice heft on it. The build is nice and strong with very thick acrylic. It is very sturdy.I never dealt from a shoe before, let alone deal fast, but after a few hands, it's a breeze.The one thing to remember is after the game is over, you'll need a ziplock bag for your cards because it's open on top (if you are taking it somewhere). But I like the open top. Buy a card discarder, a chip tray, the green felt and you're all set to deal like a pro.

We're huge card game players. We keep this loaded with 6 decks so that the cards don't have to be shuffled as often. We take it camping too and it keeps the card nice and neat. The front broke loose once and we super glued it back. It's still in great shape and we use it all the time. When this one breaks beyond repair, I'll replace it with the same one if it's available.

Got this for casino night and it worked perfect.

Just what I was looking for at a great price and will do the job I needed done! Delivery was super super fast and at my door step in no time!

I was a little worried since some of the reviews said that it was shipped with some of the "paint" messed up. Luckily our was fine and it was very helpful in making the cards slide across the table. Of course someone has already spilled a drink on it. I think spot cleaning with semi soapy water should be fine, I wouldn't try to wash it, it would get destroyed in the wash.I was looking at other table tops that had cup holders and were made of hard wood, but were between 40-60 all the way up to 90 bucks. I'm glad I decided to just go with the covering.

It was a good addition to poker night. If you don't have a felt top table or pad, then I think this is perfect. The print out was clear, felt was thick enough, and any creases that were there from packaging, were gone in a very short time after it was put on the table. For about $15, I think this is worth a purchase. It's large (check dimensions listed), so you need a large dining room type table. I gave as a gift...first I gave the poker chip set, then this, his eyes lit up :). We had a game after Christmas dinner, and when we put out felt table top everyone at the gathering (those playing, and those that were not) were pretty impressed.

I am very happy with this purchase. The item was delivered on perfect condition and as described by the seller. I strongly Reccomended purchasing from them. A+ everything ! Thank you!

I'm giving this five stars because it is exactly what I expected, not that I think it is the most fabulous version of a poker felt. What I got (and expected) is a piece of felt that has Texas Holdem printed on one side (t-shirt print style) and Blackjack on the other. It fits easily over our home table (felt is smaller than our table) or on our fold-up table (felt is a bit larger than table). I'm quite satisfied and enjoy using it.A quick note: it does arrive folded up, so you may want to give it a day to lay flat if you are hoping for a perfectly flat felt to get that faux "felt table" feel. We did use our right out of the package, and it worked just fine!

fine

Includes deck of cards, chips. Large carrying case to include all poker needs.

A necessity in our house since my hubby got into poker again. We play casually as a family for some good fun. These chips suit our needs and price point.

Product does not look like as it's displayed on the picture.Mine did not contained small-blind and big-blind buttons/chips (only the dealer button/chip was inside).Also the chips look faded compared to the picture.Chips does not hold in place when the case is closed.Though it has these minor problems it is good for the money paid.

Good value for money, had fun using it... Not a professional type but ok for house use.. Still would say chips feel a bit cheap.. No dollar value on chips, Which is good and bad again ... Overall it is a OK product would go for a bit expensive one next time ...

200 Standard size chips but their weight is on the light and gives them a cheap feel. Quality of chips is lacking, printing and molding is inconsistent. The surface of the chips are not shiny plastic but more like the better "clay" chips.The aluminum case came slightly dented but nothing horrible. Had to add foam to the case to keep everything from shifting around while carrying.Overall quality is mediocre. Still, for the price it is a good set.

Mine came undamaged and it works. I purchased it for almost nothing.I have not used it because I can do easily without it. It is in a closet already.

Works great, only reason i gave 4 instead of 5 stars was because the weighted roller under the black slide was not in place, after about 3 minutes i managed to force it back into place without breaking it. Now it works perfectly and i highly recommend this for anyone who regularly plays cards! I use for Poker nights with the boys.

Four star only because it needed an adjustment before it would work. Had to do an adjustment on the roller because it would not rotate freely and would not ride down the ramp. Reading other reviews, thought I would have to physically modify something via removing some material from the roller. I found that on removing the roller from the assembly by sliding the plastic "bearing assemblies" up and out, the plastic silver cover on the heavier internal roller was not fully pressed together. This made the roller assembly wider than it needed to be and it caused the fit to be too tight, preventing free motion of the roller. I pressed the covering together, aligned the o-rings (rubber tires for traction), put a drop of lubricant in the bearing for good measure, and reassembled. Works as advertised now.

just to big for me

It seems to work as intended, but I need to practice loading it. There weren't any good, clear instructions either.The draw is sometimes difficult, not like you see in the movies with a quick pull and flip

I ordered 3 and one of the fronts slid right out, I had to super glue it to keep it on. As far as the rollers go some had latches that slid up to make it easier to lock it in place and others didn't. They all were the same brand came all at the same time....

Thing is huge, very good!

This thing is great. Perfect for throwing on top of a table for family game night. Keep in mind its pretty long at 6', so you make sure that it will fit on your table. I also recommend getting some Velcro tape to keep it in place, as it has a tendency to slip off the table.

It was nice out of the box... but the felt did degrade pretty quickly during the play of poker... 6 hours of poker and there was lots of green fuzz. I don't know if that's expected, but it is what it is.

I bought two of these for a New Years Eve Casino night and they worked great! I bought two so I could have Blackjack and Poker going at two tables. The felt is pretty heavy and the silk screened graphics are fine - they look almost professional. You could simply lay these on a table and your'e good to go but they would slide around a bit I'm sure. I ended up going the the fabric store and bought some soft fiber padding/backing, about 3/16 thick for about 20.00 bucks, a can of spray adhesive and some picnic table cloth clips and presto - padded gaming tables that were secured to the table - no sliding around and the padded top really gave it that Pro Feel! Party over, rolled them up together and now I have a traveling game anytime we need one - really a pretty cool thing to have for not a lot of cash!

The design and size is very nice. Fits my table perfectly. Would be nice if they took away the dealer box artwork on the poker side since you would think that most people use these for home games instead of running a casino.For the price I paid, I expected more out of the quality of the material. I noticed that the material frays quite easily. Got a lot of fur balls forming on the surface that can be pulled off.It lasted through the first night without problems.I have not yet put it thru the washer. Will update when I find out what happens.

This isn't a bad felt, but after a while it does get the annoying fuzz balls. I've been using mine for over a year now. I stapled itto a piece of plywood for my home-made blackjack table and use it pretty frequently. After about 10 - 15 uses you start to get the fuzz balls and they can get in the way of cards sliding freely on the felt which is annoying.In the future I will buy a higher quality felt, but for the price this really is a good deal, and a good starter felt for at-home play.

It's cheap in price and quality. I knew I was buying a cheap set but it has a fatal flaw. All the chips are in the same amount? What the heck use is that to me? One color should be like at least 1/2 the set, for say $5, then 1/4 for the next color for your $10 chips, then some of the next color for say $50, then just a few of the final color for your big chips. With 4 stacks of the same amount it doesn't function well for a poker game. The instructions were just crumpled up in there. The blind chips were junk. The cards were junk.The case is actually pretty nice. I just threw the other stuff away and kept the case.

Disappointed that it didn't have the small blind and big blind buttons. However, I liked the case it came in and the quality of the playing chips.

Not the most expensive or best quality but you can play poker with it so it works for me

Not a big deal, but works for me.Do not like cheap quality and bad smell from chips plastic.If I had to buy that again - I`d like to prefer more quality product.

I bought this as a back-up for my 500 chip set, as I was having a lot of people over. It's okay. The chips were small, light, and covered in a chalky coating. But, they worked for the price.

Decent set for the price - nice to have the case (includes bays for card decks) and nice to have colored chips. Would have given it a 4 but the "faux-felt liner" inside the case is a thin plastic that was already cracked and broken the first time we opened the case.

cheaply made but gets job done 55% of the time

fair quality, but lacking over all. Joints are not held together well and the weight in the shoe is some "recycled" metal (had to graphite after the first 10 uses and found the plastic jacket cracked exposing the rusted metal weight)

The plastic parts are ok and work fine. The problem was the roller under the black wedge would not roll down at all. It appears that there is not enough room for the roller to move freely. The plastic tabs holding the roller was putting too much pressure on the roller. What I had to do was to pull the roller out of the wedge with some force and sand down the tabs holding the roller to allow room for it to roll downward and hold the cards in place. Its still does not roll downward perfectly but now acceptable with a slight tap of the whole unit to get the wedge to roll down. Another option after grinding away some of the plastic on the wedge is to raise the rear of the dealing shoe 1/2" to 1" higher and gravity will help the modified roller slide down.

Pros:1. Low price2. Standard sizeCons:1. Cheap plastic2. Transparent shoe that may let players cheat easily. It's okay for home leisure. If game security is your concern this shoe should not be considered.

It holds card nicely but I would prefer if the width was wider than it is. When you're holding 8 decks of cards in your hands, it's difficult to get them aligned perfectly so you can put in to this shoe. Few cards will be little bit off from aligned and the dealing shoe will refuse to take them as width is nearly perfect match for the card width.

I ordered two of these, they arrived quickly and well packaged. Opened them up and one worked great and the other did not roll. I returned it and purchased a replacement.mMy replacement arrived and the roller was popped out of the card pusher and did not work. After smashing my finger and hurting my wrist I was able to pop it back in and make it work. Another note the third one I recieved with the popped out roller came all scratched up and has air bubbles in the plastic, looks weren't important for playing the games we used it for but it might be to you.

Ok quality.

As son as I unfolded it, the outlines were stuck together and had to peel it off and basically ruined one side which was luckily the blackjack side. It' s alright if you'll need it for poker only but I wouldn't buy another one.

Wish there was a way that it would stick to the table so that way it won't slide around so much when you're playing poker

Meh would would you expect from something like this? I kinda expected a functioning product and not a fantastic one. Its a felt lining with some print on it. Some of it is graphed in the wrong areas as other reviewers mentioned.My smarter half made a really really good point. Why didn't I just go to JoAnns and buy a fabric felt top for 10x cheaper......The little card print outs are completely pointless, no ones going to want to use them. ill put the cards where I please. :)I bought this with the intention of just having a felt top, but overall the quality is just 3 stars and 'meh' overall.

I just received this item. I got it for New Year's Eve for a Casino Night I'm planning. For the price, I think it was a pretty good buy. My only complaint is some smudged paint on it.

I'm not a big blackjack buff but my family enjoys playing on special occasions. I bought this and the rest of the blackjack dealing equipment and the felt is the weak link. It's nice/large and does the job but the marked off areas of the felt are painted on or silk screened and the paint catches on the cards. Makes sliding the cards over these areas a little difficult, sometimes they catch . I've only used it a half dozen times or so and some of the painted areas are starting to peel off a little.It'll do the job if you play once in awhile but if you intend on using this on a regular basis I'd look for something better.

My set didn't contain the blind chips or dealer chip, and the plastic inserts that hold the chips in the case are loose and cheap. You get what you pay for.

I was hoping it would be a heavier set.

Different set then in the picture. Doesn't come with the big blind and small blind tokens.

Be careful when buying this product. The main picture shows a dealer, big blind and little blind chips, but the product only came with a dealer chip. The description is also misleading. It says "One deck of poker cards plus dealer chips", not "dealer chip".

Missing the blind chips that I hoped would be a part of it.

The set came in and all the wrappers for the dips were filthy. The entire package was covered in a black dirt covered everything. The colors are a bit off as well. It is a basic set.

The roller keeps getting stuck and won't push cards.

The little rolling pin arrived broken. The second one I bought, so I didn't bother to return it. I just will never reorder.

Pretty dang cheap. Broke upon pulling it out of the box. Literally opened the boxed reached in to pull it out and bam it broke. It's not like it was even packaged tightly just went to pull it out and it broke. Cheap product. Will probably try to fix it with super glue like I read another reviewer did

Mine arrived cracked and broken. I was able to super-glue it mostly back together, but the build quality is really poor. I am not impressed at all.

The card follower does not 'follow' properly. Could have a better quality follower that actually will follow and push the cards forward.

The problem I have had, has been with the roller under the black wedge. After using the shoe for just a few days, the roller got stuck and wouldn't turn. I tried to free it up, but couldn't get it loose. I sent it back and promptly received a replacement but the roller on this one had fallen out of the wedge and was so loose after putting it back in, it kept falling out. I'm sending this one back for a refund, no more replacements. Very poor quality!

Material is quite dense/rigid, so as to not lay flat on a table. Additionally the felt is not smooth as you would expect from a game table and provides a lot of friction - so no sliding cards across the surface. Works in a pinch, but I will not be purchasing this again.

I bought this poker mat under the impression that it's dimensions were 36x72 inches.I have a fold out table that's 29x71 inches. This mat should've covered the entire area with extra material hanging from all sides.The mat I received was 36x70 inches. Two inches less than what I purchased.That might not seem like a big deal but now there's an area of table exposed. Not cool.

Letters were not printed clearlyPoor quality

Pricey! Small. Not big enough to cover the table.

It was cheap, but it hasn't held up well. I've used it maybe 8 times and it's already pilling like crazy.

I bought this and used it for Texas Holdem gatherings. It worked well for maybe 8 games but the felt got more and more rough after each use. Eventually the surface was so uneven that the cards wouldn't slide well and it looked bad. At that point I purchased an alternative (the Brybelly Sure Stick Rubber Foam Poker Table Top) which was about the same size and has held up much better. I recommend skipping the 2-sided felt product and going straight to a rubber-backed fabric alternative. But if you're in a pinch and just need -something- then this product will get you by for a few games.

Returned it... Dirty inside the box.

The product came dirty and damaged

Pretty disappointing. The case I received was cracked on the inside, exposing cheap cardboard. The chips were very dirty and pretty low quality as well. They have smudged paint. For the price, this isn't the worst deal.

I through the chips away, very bad quality , the only decent thing is the case

The chips are of very low quality. There were a few damaged chips and the print on them comes off. We just used it once and the print is already coming off. The card deck is also of low quality. except for the casing nothing to be appreciated off. does not include the small blind and big blind chips as shown in the picture

The product description is incorrect and misleading. There is only one deck of cards not two. There is no small blind or big blind chip... Just a dealer chip (fair enough... They claimed that they provide dealer chips). The chips are light weight and that was ok with me but I know some people won't like that fact.It comes nicely packed. I'm pondering if I should return it because I wanted to have two decks of cards (the box actually has space for that) and buy another set or just keep this one and buy another deck of cards. Just get very frustrated when the product description is misleading.

The roller on the shuttle came broken. It's just not as nice as the ones I used working at the casino and those were pretty bad so....to me that says a lot.

Do not purchase this product. The black shoe doesn't even slide and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It's absolutely worthless. We thought maybe the rolling wheel just needed to be worked in so it could slide but after trying to roll it up and down, the plastic even got scratched and cracked. I read other people had the same problem but was hoping mine would be in good shape. I didn't bother returning it b/c I had thrown out the box and it was too much of a hassle.

The roller was out when I received it and when I put it back in it just falls back out. The posts aren't long enough to stay in the holes to allow it to roll. I mean, I know it's a $10 piece of plastic from China but how do you screw up something so simple?

Not happy with the wheel assembly or the durability of the product. Difficult to put together not as simple as it looks.

Tough to get the cards to come out

do not buy. it had all scratches and this product has toxic chemiclas in it. plus the wheel was popped out and i had to put it back together. and i had to throw it away. i will not buy from this company again

The felt wore badly and I returned it.

Cheap in price and quality, but gets the job done. I didn't realize it was all fabric; I thought it was a hard surface. Instead it is fabric that comes folded up.

Ordered this for a gift, and thank goodness I opened it first. Had 2 quarter sized "spots" that were stiff and looked like the solvent used to clean the printing machine had dripped on the item. It bleed through both sides of the felt and ruined the printing on both sides. I am a great fan of Amazon, and order very often, but I sometimes get damaged goods. I wish they were better at quality control, both for themselves and their suppliers.

This arrived the day before my first poker tourney, but the felt is thin, the "paint" would look hokey -- IF it was not flaking off, and it doesn't include table stays to hold the felt in place on your table.Yuk. Do yourself a favor like I did. Grab your measuring tape, measure your table, add 12" per dimension and march down to your local fabric shop. This is 1 yard of fabric. At my shop, that was normally $4.99/yard, but they had a sale on it for $2.99/yard. I could have bout FIVE of these for that price, but instead I got batting and table clips and still came out ahead.Thank GOODNESS their quality control is terrible, because I can return it to Amazon for a full refund.

My god... this is identical to the disposable rug/fabric we use for trade show. They are dirt cheap! The color of the actual product is actually a dark green, doesn't match the one in shown on amazon display. The printing quality is low. The hole thing is very very thin. I can't complain for $10 and free shipping but if I saw this at the store, I would save my $10 for better quality product. That's just my 2 cents.
