OP has been updated with some new info. We have 2 new gaming suedes available for purchase. There's 4 options to choose from.
Home Game grade, smooth side
Home Game grade, fleece side
Casino Grade, smooth side
Casino Grade, fleece side.
The Casino grade and Home Game grades are very similar, the main differences are that the CG is more waterproof than the HGG, and it is whiter. The whiteness doesn't really matter though since it gets printed on anyway.
The CG smooth side is not as smooth as the HGG smooth side, but the card slide is the same as far as I can tell.
The CG fleece side is less fluffy than the HGG fleece side, but the CG fleece side has better card slide than the HG fleece side.
Card slide rating:
CG & HGG smooth sides, best
CG Fleece side, 2nd
HGG Fleece side, worst. Good enough for a dedicated dealer to pitch cards, but not for end to end dealing on an oval table.
Here is a video breaking down all of the details. I'm still working on improving my video recording system, so please bear with me with these crude video's as I get better.
