The new EGM Green poker table will be made from 98% sustainable materials, and will be featured in the WSOP's exhibit area through the series. Among the new table's environment-conscious features:
● All wood is FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified;
● All paints and stains used in the table are formaldehyde-free;
● The table is assembled with water-based adhesives.
EGM Gaming asserts that use of the new tables and applying other measures involving sustainable resources can significantly lower the environmental impact made by casinos and other luxury concerns, including reduced volume of waste, a decreased use of natural resources and a lowered impact on ecosystems. EGM Gaming will also donate one of the new tables to the winner of this year's WSOP Main Event.
