Monday January 25th, 2010 01:44 The Ultimate Gaming Table

Having all the correct toys has always been a part of the luxury lifestyle. Many of those who work hard also enjoy playing hard and want all the fanciest amenities brought right into their home, private jet or yacht. For those who like to play games Playerati has launched a new gaming table, which the Financial Times has called “The only one of its kind”.

GameBar by Playerati is a unique marriage between a leader in the gaming world and the high end European home appliance manufacturer Gorenje. The table

cleverly conceals a refrigerated core and with the touch of a button a bar rises from the table dispensing drinks and canapes to you and your guests. When you are done drinking your champagne and eating your goodies just press the remote and the table returns to normal so you can continue play. The bespoke gaming table can be configured to accommodate most games including poker, roulette, black jack and others.

Seems like a great novelty item for those who already have the private screening room, personal gym and even better for those areas where space is at a premium such as private jets and yachts. It would be an excellent gift to put in the corner of the gaming aficionado’s home office. This gaming table may appeal to developers of luxury casinos, hotels and nightclubs who want to add a special VIP table and give their facility that extra special edge to attract clients.

If you’d like to see the table in person its official debut will be at the International Gaming Expo being held in London’s Earl’s Court at the end of January.
