How To Build Your Own Craps Table

Posted onby admin

This is one very interesting topic as I have always wondered how a Craps table is made, and since I’ve loved the game for over 20 years, always wanted one of my own.

. Make your practice set truly feel like a casino craps table by adding our throwing station. With both pieces your have 98% of what a full table is without the needed room to put one in your home or office. And the cost for both pieces is about half the cost of our full table or any full craps table on the internet. Making field bets in Craps Every bet is a sucker bet, if you play the numbers. But making Horn Bets, or placing chips on 'hard' anything is basically just throwing your money into the wind. If you see a black marker on the table with the word 'off' on it then you'll know you are allowed to make your bet. You win even money if the come out roll (when the black marker is on the table) is a 7 or an 11 and you lose if it is a 2, 3 or 12.

I honestly believe that a finished Craps table can be classified as a piece of art.

I have limited space so I need to have a mini tub style 1.8m (6ft) – 2.4m (8ft)

I’ve looked and looked for a place that sells them but alas can’t seem to find anywhere. If you know of somewhere please leave me a comment.

In the absence of buying one, I’ll have to make one, or convince someone else with more woodworking skills and equipment to build one for me as a worthy project. I’m thinking maybe one of the local Mens Sheds would be able to help me out for a nice donation to their very worthy cause.

I think it all starts with the felt layout, so I’m going to source that first and then build the table up around it.

I’ll be documenting the journey, which is the purpose of this website for my own selfish diarised record and others will benefit as well.

In the mean time I’ve scoured the internet looking for “how to build a craps table” resources and found that quite a few people have the same idea.

Craps tables are relatively easily taken apart. I'd ask what you want it for? Mostly they are a base table, a lay on top, then the just snap together. I'm sure you could google 'casino supplies' and find somehting. Skip building it on your own, but a ready-made. Will look much better.

A 'casino quality' 12 foot table will run upwards of $4,000, plus S&H. See an example here.
HowHere is a fun set of links by a guy who built his own table (6 ft.) from scratch following some plans he bought on ebay. It actually looks really cool.

Unless I miss my guess, the poster interested in constructing his own craps table is not interested in the look of the end product but in its bounce characteristics. I would consider this a great waste of time and effort and therefore I hope I am wrong and that the poster merely wants a nice looking craps table for his home.
Constructing a dice table, particularly one with a layout and felting for a particular casino is a foolish waste of time and money if it is done for any sort of dice control experimentation.BuildOwn
If working with wood is your hobby and you simply want a pleasant object in your basement recreation room, fine. If you think that experimenting in your basement with tossing dice is going to make you rich, spend the time and money on something that is more sensible.

You really are a tiresome bore, Logan. We get it, you don't like MKL. Great, now stop polluting every thread with your mancrush on hating him, okay? It's like listening to a four year old whine that someone ate his last goldfish cracker.

I didn't say anything about hating him. Where'd you get that? I like to ride him into know-it-all country, and that's entertainment!
BTW, here it looks like the pollution is coming from the cesspit. You could have just skipped over it. Now the clown will see what I posted because he has me on block.

So, if you know he has you on block, why bother to contaminate this thread, and as pointed out, every other thread to boot ?

The dicesetter and other such wesbites have links to their own practice table and set ups, which are often just cut outs of a full table to practice their throws on:

There's possibly enough there to get a start on though...

That doesn't make any sense. And going by your own definition, you're just as much the contaminate as I am. Why can't you just leave it alone and it'll go away.
