This was one in a series of sixteen oil paintings by C. M. Coolidge, commissioned in circa 1903 by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars. All the paintings in the series feature anthropomorphized dogs, but the 9 paintings in which dogs are seated around a card table have become derisively well-known in the United States as examples of mainly working-class taste in home decoration.

I have a challenge for you bkshopr. Design a room where dogs playing poker is not tacky.
I thought a personal poker room with a wet bar would be an appropriate place for such a theme, particularly if classless irreverence were part of an overall design motif.</blockquote>
Both the Wynn and Bellagio are shapes based on good feng shui and prosperity for the owners. The curve shape is known as the money pouch. Property with such a shape invites good fortune and lucks.

The oval room shape would be appropriate for all (more than 4) players. There is no corners in the room and all walls are curve to be concentric to the oval table shape. All players are sitting at a slight angle to each other to prevent seeing others' cards. There is no sharp corner at the table pointed to any player and bring them bad luck
No mirror could be mounted on the curve walls to cheat. All players could be evenly spaced apart on an oval table vs a rectangular table. Everyone has a casual view of each other without having to turn head 90 degree to look at another player. Subtle movement allows better observation of others poker body language. At nightime glass becomes a mirror the curve window does not reflect image clearly.
