Because green is the color of money? Isn't that what the casino wants you thinking about while playing?

Note: The color green is also supposedly an aphrodisiac (sp?).

So the casino wants you to loose your money and become aroused?

My casinos have blue felt. Also a relaxing colour.

A local cardroom has purple felt; I don't like playing there.

You're are all wrong. It is because God likes the color green. Why else would his name be on all that GREEN US money??

Something about green being having a relaxing unobtrusive effect on peoples perception of it I think.

Basically, this way you combine the sensation of feeling good with the sensation of losing money.

Just like a real relationship.

felt is green on most gaming tables because when someone came up with the brilliant idea of putting felt on gaming tables, the most easily available source was billiards felt. Billiards felt has traditionally been green to represent the color of grass, since billiards was a game modeled after those outdoor games like croquet or (maybe bocci?) that are played on the grass. Then, once it was green, its probably very difficult to get gamblers (a somewhat superstitious lot) to agree to change. Ive seen many colors used for felting gaming tables though.

maybe bocci is played in the dirt, im not sure.
