Perhaps, the most exhilarating table in a casino is the craps table. This high energy game of dice rolling and betting is enjoyed by many in casinos. Are you one of those? If so, you should know that there is an entire line of craps tables and supplies that can provide everything you need to have casino style craps games in your very own home.
The craps tables that you find in casinos are very nice, and appear very expensive. If you wish to create the atmosphere of the casino in your home then you have several craps table options that include all of the great features found on the tables in the casinos. Another great feature that the home craps tables have is that they are easy to assemble and disassemble without tools.
Another option you have, if you don’t want a full size craps table, is a craps felt layout. These are available in a regular grade and a high grade felt. Both measure 6′ x 3′ and have a craps table layout printed on them. With either of these layouts you can place them over an existing table or even mount them to a piece of plywood.
Many would say craps is all about the dice. With several options available for casino dice, you can purchases simple play dice with Las Vegas wording on them or opt for precision dice. The precision dice have sharp crisp edges for proper balance, are generally serialized, are available in four different colors, and come in packs of five.
You are going to need some other items for your craps game. You will need buttons for betting and marking. You will also need a dice stick, which is used by the stickman to retrieve dice during the game. A dice boat to hold your dice would also be a nice addition to your game. All of these accessories will help to make your craps game more exciting.
There are some other basic supplies you need for your craps game. One of them is the On/Off button. This button is used by individual players in an ongoing craps game to indicate whether their bets are on or called off. You also will need a larger On/Off puck to be used by the dealer to mark the point and to indicate when the point is off, during the first round of a craps game.
If a player wishes to place a bet that a particular point, other than the current point, will be rolled before a 7 is rolled, then the buy bet is placed. This bet is marked by using the Buy side of the Buy/Lay button. To mark a bet with opposite intentions, that is; the 7 will be rolled before a particular point, the Lay side will be used to mark the respective point. This is called a lay bet. The Buy/Lay button is a very important part of the game of craps.
