I'm told the corean will not burn easily.
Cigarettes droped on poker tables are not dropped for long as 11 or 12 people are watching at all times.
The problem with speed cloth is, it only takes a second to burn through to the padding.

I use 3/4 inch padding on the tables in the main room. Everyone else uses 1/2 or 1/4. My dealers thank me every day.
I have to use 1/2 on the corean tables. But dealers do not have to reach on them. 5 ft dealers feel like they are 6 ft tall dealing on the tables. Playing area is cut down by 5 inches.
