Below are the most popular questions about the mat, the foam wall. dice preference, chips and chip trays. Other questions that relate to hosting a dice game at home with friends and family ........
Why no stick?
1. Don’t need it as the entire playing area is within easy reach
2. A stick knocks over chips on a busy game. No room to maneuver.
3. They cost around $30-$40 each and you'll have to cut it down
4. The human female species has been known to use the stick as a weapon when dealing, another reason not to have one.

How tall is the wall?
The wall is in four separate sections. The wall is 4 inches tall. The two side walls are 1 inch wide and the new corrugated end walls are 2 inches wide. There is a total of just over 10 feet of wall surrounding 3/4 of the mat. The dealer side has no wall. This is designed as a dining room table set-up whereas five or less players can sit down and play. The short wall allows everyone to see the layout while sitting. More than five players would have to stand around the table. Dealer can't sit but the players can.

Why foam wall? Why not wood or plastic?
Wood and acrylic walls would drive up the price. They're heavier and less portable. Someone who is considering a wood wall will probably prefer a custom design and it would be less expensive having it built locally or building it yourself not to mention shipping weight and insurance costs. A dedicated table of sorts. Add in wood chip rails and rubber diamond end wall and you will spend a fortune.

The primary reason for the foam wall is that....
- it helps keep the dice on the mat
- offers protection for the mat from spilled beverages and unwanted stains
- lightweight portability
- fast and easy set-up and breakdown
Why do you recommend rolling the mat face up when in storage?
The manufacture recommends rolling the mat face side up as it was delivered to you, and keep the urethane bottom of the mat inside the roll thus not putting any stress on it. The printed side can absorb the stress because of the microfibers embedded into the urethane.

Why a urethane bottom and not thin rubber?
The original mat back in the day had a thin black rubber base. I wanted a mat that didn't slip and slide. Then I discovered embedding a silkscreen rather than printing one on fabric then bonding to the rubber. Plus, I needed a thick mat to frame the foam walls. Notice the edge of the mat. You can see the thickness of the mat but more importantly notice the green base color embedded into the white urethane. No cracking or marbling will occur using this technique and besides, the dice and chips thrown around are not as loud when they land on the smooth cushioned surface.

Why no hop bets or other popular side bets printed on the mat?
There is no room. Doesn't mean you cant bet it. Most hop bets are not "printed" on casino layouts. The mat 'as is' represents the base game of craps. Every craps table have these base bet offerings. Casinos pay vendors for popular side bets such as the FIRE BET or BONUS BET (All-Small-Tall) therefore I would not be allowed legally to print such offerings. You can however. This guy sent me a pic of what he did. He purchased some felt and had a silkscreen business print the images and simply lays the side bet on the mat.

Just wondering, how come there are no odds printed on the horn bets?
The Hardways, Any Seven, Any Craps odds are universal in every casino. The Horn numbers 2,3,11 & 12 pay scale are mostly 30 to 1 and 16 to 1 but a minority of casinos pay more and sometimes less. Because my customers purchase the mat to practice or play home games utilizing casino rules and the other half play True Odds 35 to 1 and 17 to 1 - I find it best not to print the odds.

Can I order a longer mat? My dining table is 75" long.
No, there has been no demand for a longer mat. The Craps Mat is specifically designed for the most popular size of dining tables sold in the United States 60" x 35"

I already have 'dice chips" Should I start purchasing chips with printed amount?
Denominational poker chips are expensive. You need a large inventory to host large games. Craps games need a lot of chips!! Beginners can acclimate to the dice chips just fine. Having said that....Nice portable table top mat plus nice chips = WOW FACTOR. Your guests will prefer casino grade denominational chips to play with if given a choice.

I purchased the mat last year before the new end walls were introduced, how do I get some?
For all verified customers who want the new corrugated foam end walls I will send this upgrade to you for free...but you will have to pay shipping costs. I lose $$$ doing this, but I make it back with referrals. Simply contact me DICETEACH@GMAIL.COM
How come you are not a PRIME seller on Amazon?
It's complicated. The vast majority of prime sellers purchase wholesale bulk and re-sell on the Amazon platform. The Craps Mat is a unique product and is considered a custom product. Only I can sell them. Amazon does offer a "Prime seller fulfilled program", meaning that sellers like myself can send boxed product to an Amazon fulfillment center and Amazon will replace the box with their own and ship them under the Prime label. Unfortunately they do not fulfill my category in Vegas. (Mats)
Amazon would have to send my boxes to Minnesota and that alone would drive up the cost and Amazon doesn't want anything to do with re-packaging the product because it is very labor intrusive with the foam walls, blocks and chip trays. I could pack the mat in their boxes but mine are better. I use a quality ULINE box to ship the Craps Mat.

In your video you claim not to like casino precision dice used on the mat, but you sent me some anyway?
Casino grade 19mm razor edge precision dice are made for 12-16 foot long tables and they are used for security reasons and ability to be seen by surveillance cameras. They don't tumble enough or bounce good on the Craps Mat because of their size and weight and the reduced size of the mat. I recommend using large 19mm round corner red transparent dice as they weigh less, roll better and bounce off the wall better. Each mat sold included those dice that are manufactured in China but because geopolitics of late, you and I can no longer purchase these dice but I was fortunate to acquire 19mm casino grade that I include in all orders right now until the round corner 19mm is available again. My personal preference is using 16mm as those bounce all over the unit.

Why not include the duffle bag you advertise?
I don't actually advertise the duffle bag. I have it in my accessories page. Some people prefer a canvas or leather duffle over a nylon bag. I use this one below. Works okay. Order one using the link image below. It really comes in handy.
