If you turned up the opacity on the background images, it wouldn't be so bad. But as long as the customer is happy.

Another shout out to @Bloo_Design
I've had several "non-conventional" poker table themes lately and @Bloo_Design has killed it on all of them.

I created this Colorado flag mock up that I intend on eventually having printed. Honestly, I think it's pretty close to what I want though I'm still thinking of putting some text in the lower right corner. What do you guys think?

Not one I would necessarily want to play poker on, but what a crazy fun Monopoly table!

Glad we were able to achieve what you wanted! Especially with a good chunk of the board from scratch. The install looks good.

The blown up logo ended up looking great! Matches well with the chips and room.
Cool idea, but for better playability, should have gone with a 60" round instead of an oval table. It would be miserable to play a game of monopoly from the end of the oval, plus round tables are awesome for poker too!
That is crazy cool! Growing up in the midwest, I was a Chiefs fan as a kid, and so was my dad. Colors are also real close to our favorite college team, Iowa State. Now you've got me thinking...

First attempt of designing my custom (Halo 3 themed) felt for my first table build - never used adobe illustrator before this. Any suggestions to improve/add to it are welcome.

Less is more. Easy to get overly eager with layers when designing something. Drop the card holders and the overlay over the icons. I would also align things better (seems a bit off). Also the white borders kinda does not make sense for the colour scheme you have gone for.
Edit: would also drop the black on the edges and make the icons the outer part. Get better quality of the image you are going to use for the centerpiece, or swap it out for something different

I’m fine with it being a bit mental tbh, it’s all the halo maps in the card holders, pretty nostalgic to me and a few friends - I will get rid of the white borders and try blend it in a bit better and change the colour of the betting line. The overlay is just a watermark
The black edges is just to show the rail and the main image in the front is in vector format, why it doesn’t look good quality (it looks better on AI)

You asked for advice, but all good. It is your own design after all
The first thing you learn in any design is that white space is your friend, and clutter is your enemy. White space is basically breathing room that allows something to shine - less is more.
Backtrack in this thread and look how great felts look like for inspiration. Start with a plan, edit and redo it until you are happy. Also - the quality of the images you use matters a lot, especially for something that is going to be printed. If you struggle in AI someone can do it for you for a buck.
Good luck!

You already have drink holders at the spot, the square on the gel is redundant - also do you want three players sitting at designate spots, I would rather they sit as they wish once you get to short table poker. Nice design though.

I’ve got a chanman table with custom cloth it was built around 2018-2019. I don’t recall what exact type of cloth it was. It got a tequila and soda drink spilled and now it looks like a water mark. Should we just dab at it with a wet warm cloth or should I get a steam cleaner? Thanks.
Take the felt off and wash it. Cold water, delicate cycle with detergent. I've used spray and wash on stains.
Dry on air dry or delicate cycle. I've washed my felts in the washing machine multiple times. They come out looking brand new. Don't worry about wrinkles. When you put them back on, they will pull the wrinkles right out assuming you use a light coat of adhesive.

Do you use the spray glue to install like Tony does?
It's gaming suede. The material is very durable, you can do as Craig mentioned, and you can also use a steam cleaner. Many people have used a steam cleaner on our felts with no signs of damage. Dabbing it with a cloth to soak up excess liquid is always the best first step, but if the stain remains, then some more drastic measures are required.
Yes. I use a very light spray of 3M #77
Yes! The Little Green is also a great option that I use in between washer/dryer cycles. It's especially good when someone spills a beer.
I love the texture pattern on the blue sections.
Curious, is this from the felt material, or is this part of the design (print)?
