green felt

Card table covering

Green felt is a wool or synthetic fabric with a smooth, matted surface, traditionally used to cover card tables, billiard tables, and poker tables.

The color evokes gambling and gaming environments: the green felt of the casino, fortunes won and lost on the green felt.

By extension, green felt can refer metonymically to gambling itself or the world of high-stakes card games.
