You could also try "shrink" which forces beamer slides to be x-percent 
smaller than normal ("a typographic nightmare"). 
And you can chose a plain (\begin{frame}[plain]) slide without additional 
headings which enlarges the space available 
for your table.

However, it is hard to answer your question without seeing your 
latex-code. A lot can be done by using latex's tabularx or tabular*
command and smaller fonts. Another important question is: is your table 
too wide or too long? This really makes a difference 
given the usual landscape format.
