The present disclosure relates to a gaming-table support locking apparatus including a first hinge bar, a second hinge bar, and a tab connector. The first hinge bar is connected to a first bar of a gaming-table and includes a tab notch. The second hinge bar is connected to a second bar of a gaming-table, is rotatably connected to the first hinge bar, and includes a window. The tab connector includes a base, a locking section, and a release section. The base is configured to connect to the second hinge bar at the window. The locking section extends through the window for engaging the tab notch to form a secure connection. The release section, connected to the locking section, extends through the window for receiving a force from a user. The release section may be depressed toward the base, causing the locking section to disengage from the tab notch.
