Mike Ansell of Lordsvale has secured the rights to produce a dedicated Elvis Presley UK-style pool table and a US-style table for the European and US markets.

Lordsvale has appointed pool table manufacturer Excel Leisure to produce the tables for the UK and European markets and discussions are taking place for the production of a table in the US.

Initially, the tables will be produced in non-coin versions but will be available as coin-operated products in the near future. The pool table has high quality graphics covered with a strong laminate for long life and will be ideal for Elvis fans and themed locations. There will also be a range of Elvis Presley themed accessories, cues and cloth.

Commenting on the agreement, Ansell said: "It has taken some time to conclude the licence agreement with Elvis Presley Enterprises but we are delighted to have procured the deal and look forward to working with Excel Leisure in getting the tables to market."

Stan McKenna of Excel Leisure added: "We have worked closely with Lordsvale on this project and are excited at the prospects for the product over the coming years."
