In the world of ultra-high net worth individuals, luxury is no longer about owning expensive items, but about curating unique experiences. Game rooms are becoming a new status symbol, with bespoke tables that cost as much as a Bentley or a Miami penthouse.
Set against a $20 million view, the right table turns leisure into a statement piece—equal parts sculpture, sport, and social signaling.
Luxury game tables are high-end gaming platforms designed for serious gamers.
These premium tables feature advanced technology, sleek designs, and top-notch materials.
They often come equipped with features like built-in speakers, subwoofers, and customizable lighting.
Some luxury game tables also offer wireless charging, USB ports, and ergonomic designs for enhanced comfort.
Brands like Herman Miller, SteelSeries, and Razer have entered the market, catering to gamers who demand the best.
These tables can range from $1,000 to over $10,000, making them a significant investment for gaming enthusiasts.
The wealthiest individuals are no longer interested in more; they want better, more refined, more personal, and more rare. This shift is evident in the rise of high-design game rooms. At 11 Ravens, we don’t just build game tables—we work with clients who think about luxury at a different level. These aren’t people looking for another expensive thing to own; they want something with presence, something interactive, something that transforms a room into a destination.
Ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals possess assets valued at $30 million or more.
They often inherit wealth, accumulate it through business ventures, or achieve success in high-paying careers such as finance or law.
According to a 2020 report by Wealth-X, the global UHNW population is estimated at 236,000 people, with the majority residing in North America and Europe.
These individuals tend to invest in luxury assets like real estate, art, and private jets.
The Evolution of Game Tables
What was once an afterthought—the billiards table in the basement, the foosball table left for the kids—has become a focal point of billionaire living. Among a particular set, exclusivity isn’t just about what you own but how it’s made, how rare it is, and where it sits in your space. Game tables have become a new frontier of high design.
Billionaires live in opulent mansions, travel by private jets, and own exotic cars.
They invest in art, real estate, and private equity.
Many have philanthropic efforts, donating billions to charity.
The billionaire lifestyle is marked by extravagance and excess, with some spending $100 million on a single vacation.
However, it's not all champagne toasts and caviar - many billionaires also prioritize business acumen and strategic investments.
Some pieces we create cost more than a Bentley Bentayga or a Miami penthouse down payment—not because of excess for excess’s sake, but because the details matter at this level. For example, we created a custom poker table with a snake embroidered in leather on the top after a client provided an inspirational image. We’ve also made personalized plaques featuring family emblems, initials, and notes for loved ones.
The Psychology of Play
A game room forces interaction. There’s a reason why some of the world’s most powerful people prefer to negotiate over a poker game rather than in a boardroom—it creates a different kind of dynamic. When you step up to a billiards table, you’re no longer your title or your bank account—you’re a player, engaged in a game of skill, strategy, and psychology.
At a certain level of wealth, there are no more impulse buys. Every object in a space has to justify its existence. A handcrafted foosball table in an oceanfront Malibu estate isn’t just there for show—it’s an invitation, a conversation piece, a quiet indicator that this home was designed for experience, not just aesthetics.
The Future of High-Stakes Entertainment
This is not a trend—it’s a fundamental shift in how luxury spaces are designed. More and more, we see dedicated game rooms replacing formal dining rooms. Why? Nobody wants to sit at a table set for 14 with people checking their phones between courses. They want an interactive, competitive, deeply social experience—one that pulls people in rather than allowing them to tune out.
We’ve worked with clients who designed entire entertainment wings around their game tables, making them the heart of their home, their yacht, or their private club. Because in their world, real luxury isn’t about collecting—it’s about curating the perfect experience. And nothing does that better than a game table that’s as rare, custom, and compelling as the people gathered around it.
