air hockey table

Slick gaming surface

An air hockey table is a game table with a smooth playing surface perforated with tiny holes that blow air upward, allowing a plastic puck to glide with minimal friction.

Players use handheld paddles to strike the puck into their opponent's goal.

The tables are common in arcades and game rooms: We spent hours at the air hockey table.
