Benefits of technology

"The invention is a card table with indented portions around the edge, which makes it easier for players to reach the center of the table without having to stand up. This is especially useful for handicapped players or players who don't like to stand. The table also has recessed holders for drinks and chips, which helps keep them organized. Additionally, the table can be placed on top of another table for use. Overall, the invention makes card tables more convenient and efficient for players."

Problems solved by technology

Second, larger tables capable of holding additional players are often so large that it is hard to reach things on the table.
Third, with many people reaching around the table during a game, drinks are often spilled on the table when someone bumps a drink during a card game.
