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.

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.

Patience is rewarded; impatience is punished

It’s important to understand that the Craps layout is designed to tempt you intomaking wagers with a high house advantage for the sake of getting a quick result.ALL proposition bets in the center of the table are structured heavily in favorof The House. The best bets like the Pass Line and Free Odds bets might not be resolvedimmediately — it could take a few rolls or more. But patience pays off. Not onlyis the house edge lower on these bets, but by not betting on every roll of the diceyou’ll have less money in action and so your losses will be less. Being patientis a double-whammy, to your advantage.

If you want to learn quickly what NOT to do then listen to the calls of the Stickman.(S)he is the one who tempts you into placing bets on 7, 11, Ace Deuce, 12, Any Craps,Craps/Eleven (C and E), Horn Bets and the Hardways. All proposition bets in thecenter of the table layout range from 9.09% to 16.67% in favor of the house. Thisis where your money is thrown away. As for the Hardways, the house edge there iseither 9.09% or 11.1% — both worse than most slot machines.

Note also how the table layout design prominently features the Field bet. The houseedge here is 2.77% and is a self service wager that is easily dealt to by the dealersAND there is a result here on every roll which just compounds player losses. (Oddlyenough The Field is a better wager on most tables than Place Bets on the 5 or 9and 4 or 10 and even Buy Bets on the 4 or 10).

The easily accessible Big 6 and 8 also provide a handsome 9.09% advantage to thehouse which make these bets just as unattractive as any proposition bet in the centerof the layout. In fact, the Big 6 and 8 (in the corner) do not exist in AtlanticCity casinos as they are outlawed by New Jersey gaming regulations!

Note also, on the table layout that the house discourages Don’t Bets by placingthe wager box farther away from the players. Don’t bets are very slightly betterfor players than Pass Line Bets but more importantly (to the casino), they’re moredifficult to service by the dealers and tend to slow the game down.

In simple terms, the table layout and the calls of the stickman tempt you into makingwagers that have a high house edge whereas there are better and smarter wagers tobe made, such as the Pass Line and the Free Odds bets. You should not allow yourimpatience to tempt you into making unwise wagers for the sake of getting an immediateresult — especially when that result is usually a LOSS.
