we might be thinking of different things. i don't mean the soft rim ringing the table for people to rest their arms on; i am referring to a colored line in the felt that is typically 6-8" inside and is demarcated as being official and irreversible for distinguishing bets placed.

at some casinos where i've played, they don't tolerate the showy, game-slowing behavior of angle-shooting attenion-seekers who like to carry 1/2 their entire stack across the line and slowly assemble their chips while guaging reactions before finally placing a bet. and at others, the line exists and isn't enforced - this is a shame.
