You can use "Series" to generate the table :

den[pp_, rr_, nn_]:=
    (s=.; 2^n*Normal[ Series[p^r *s^r(1-p *s)/
                    (1-s+(1-p)p^r * s^(r+1)), {s, 0, n}/.
                  {n -> nn}] /. {p -> pp, r -> rr,
                n -> nn}] /. s -> 1);
 
Table[den[1/2, r, n], {n, 1, 8}, {r, 1, 8}] 
 
{{1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{3,1,0,0,0,0,0,0},
{7,3,1,0,0,0,0,0},
{15,8,3,1,0,0,0,0},
{31, 19,8,3,1,0,0,0},
{63,43,20,8,3,1,0,0},
{127,94,47,20,8,3,1,0},
{255,201,107, 48,20,8,3,1}}
