Game table and method of making the same

Abstract

A game table, notably a rectangular game table, with at least one playing surface, preferably a shuffleboard surface, disposed between a first end and a second end of the table, wherein the playing surface has a first end width and a second end width and perimeter, such that the first end width is greater than the second end width. This table may also comprise at least one reflective surface and/or a trough, while requiring less surface area for better placement in arcades and other gaming environments.

1 . A rectangular game table having a first end and a second end and a top comprising at least one playing surface disposed between the first end and the second end, wherein the playing surface has a first end width and a second end width and a perimeter, such that the first end width is greater than the second end width, the game table also comprising at least one bumper or other reflective surface disposed at the second end such that the bumper is in contact with the playing surface and able to reflect or otherwise change the direction of pucks, balls, or other sliding or rolling devices.  
   
   
       2 . A non-rectangular game table having a first end and a second end, the first end being wider than the second end, the first end being connected to the second end by a pair of sidewalls, and a top, comprising at least one playing surface disposed between the first end and the second end, wherein the playing surface has a first end width and a second end width and a perimeter, such that the first end width is greater than the second end width, each of the pair of sidewalls of the game table being parallel to and spaced from the perimeter of the playing surface to form a trough between the playing surface and the sidewalls, the game table also comprising at least one bumper or other reflective surface disposed at the second end such that the bumper is in contact with the playing surface and able to reflect or otherwise change the direction of pucks, balls, or other sliding or rolling devices.
