Craps Table For Your Home

So, are you looking to get a craps table for your game room at home? Excellent! But first, there are several things to consider before making then plunge.

First, do you have the room? A casino craps table is 12 feet long and 5 feet wide. So, you'll need space for that, plus extra room to move around, so double the dimensions to allow for the fit.

Next, a consideration should be given to how often you are going to use it. If it is going to be for the semi annual family/friends reunion, maybe a portable fold up table is called for. If it is for a weekly or more frequent game, you would want to consider something closer to what you see in a casino.

The next consideration and probably the most important to most is the budget. Decide how much you have to spend before you buy. A quick look on Google shows that craps tables can vary in price from $100 for a portable fold up to almost $5,000 for a regulation casino quality table.

Other options for getting your own table would be to search online. EBay has deals on everything, craps tables pop up from time to time, and of course at a great value. Another option is classified ads, newspapers have all sorts of odd stuff for sale all the time. Craps tables do make their way there, especially in gambling cities like Las Vegas or Atlantic City. And speaking of classifieds, I should mention the largest online classified ad page, Craigslist. It is arranged by city, so if you aren't in a casino area, you can search in those areas, but be ready to travel. On final pace to look, and definitely the cheapest is Freecycle.org. It's a group of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Their goal is to encourage reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. So if someone is cleaning out the garage or the local church decides that casino night isn't a good anymore, they may list a craps table on Freecycle.

But higher costs doesn't have to be the buzz kill for you if you really want to get that playing at Caesar's feeling at home. The site Online Craps Daddy gives you an alternative. Building your own. The article asserts that for under $500 in supplies, some woodworking know-how and, of course the tools, that you can make a quality table that rivals those in the casinos.

So there are a lot of options, consider them carefully and plan. This could be a major purchase and it is definitely a space taker, but the enjoyment the avid craps player will get is immeasurable.
