In casinos, craps is played at a table, usually one covered in green felt. The bets available are labeled on the felt. The table is also the playing surface for the game – you roll the dice on the same table where you place your bets. Most of the best US casinos use a long table for craps – it’s 12 feet long.

This blog entry will chronicle the entire project up to the present.

Summer 2011:

At first it was going to be a portable thing to have some fun with friends, while camping, or at friends’s houses.
I set out to build a foldable, portable table.
Here is what I ended up with.

I bought the layout from target.com. I needed some chips, so I went to amazon.com and found a set.
I also bought the ON/OFF puck from Amazon.com.

I got to looking around, and found an old waterbed frame that was not going to ever be used again. I decided to cut it into the necessary lengths needed, and put it on a fresh piece of mdf cut to size.
We cut and readjusted the waterbed padded rails, and we had us a craps table!

This worked even better. You could drag the dice across without hitting hinges, and you had a real box to contain the dice when thrown.
I discovered the need for more chips, so I ordered another set from amazon.

I got tired of containing all those chips and ordered a blackjack table chip tray. I added it to my table like this.
