Not all craps tables have the Big 6 and Big 8 bets because the house advantage is so high that most people don’t bet them, so the casino doesn’t waste table space with them. These bets represent the “player’s area” or self-service area because you handle these bets yourself without the dealer’s help. What are the standard pool table sizes and dimensions, and how large of a room is required for each? Standard size pool tables, along with the playing surface dimensions (measured between the noses of the cushions) are: 12-ft (snooker): 140″ (356.9 cm) x 70″ (177.8 cm) 10-ft (oversized): 112″ (284.5 cm) x 56″ (142.2 cm). 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). OK so call me crazy but, I am building myself a full size craps table!! Does anyone know the dimensions of an official casino craps table like you would find at the Hollywood casino's etc. Dimensions such as overall height, height of top of table from floor, width, etc.

I built a fairly nice craps table a couple of years ago and it has gotten a lot of use. See here for the thread about that, and the rebuild after the house fire.

I decided I would like a full size craps table to actually practice throwing dice, and maybe, become a better shooter. I have the room now to have a large table like that. I figure it can’t hurt, and it will be cool to have the guys over and play on a full size table.

I did some searching and the best dimensions I could come up with for a typical table was 12′ long by 5′ wide. As I remember, our local casino has 12′ tables. I wanted to size it up and see just how long 12 feet is when throwing the dice.

My ping pong table is 5′ wide, but not long enough to try this. I took the ping pong table and layed some spare mdf on it to make it 12 feet long. I got some felt and set up a temporary back with the diamond end from my other craps table. I set up a temporary leaning/throwing station on the end. I started tossing the dice. It felt right. I can see that I need some practice. I think this is a good idea!

I started drawing this out in Google Sketchup, a great tool for this kind of thing! Here is the idea I came up with. It isn’t complete but it gave me some dimensions to work with.

The base is going to be interesting. Plywood comes in 4×8 sheets. I need 12 x 5 for the final size. I decide to make it two layers of 1/2″ plywood. I would cut the pieces necessary and stagger the pieces so the connections don’t overlap.

I went to the casino this weekend and kind of sized up the table, and I think my idea is about right. As I remember anyway. My memory is a little foggy after a few too many. It was a good night!

The walls would be 1 x 12 pine boards doubled up.

So off to the lumber store with my son. I need help moving those 4×8 sheets. Getting old sucks. He wasn’t doing anything anyway.

I added some more 2×4 support to the ping pong table frame (which was home made).

I layed the plywood on the ping pong table frame and cut a couple of 4×4 pieces. and 6ea 4×1 pieces. I layed them on the concrete floor with some fence board spacers under them, as my screws protruded through a little underneath. It was a pain, but it seemed to be somewhat rigid. I put a few splice pieces of plywood on some of the connections for added strength and tried lifting it. Wow! That is heavy.

I managed to lean it on the long edge, scoot the frame over, and persuade the huge piece of plywood on the frame.

It wasn’t 30 minutes later my two oldest sons showed up to get some of their furniture out of my shop! Man, I sure could have used their help. Figures.

It was a little flimsy, so I figured some 2″ 1by strips around the perimeter would help. Also a 11×11 square on each corner.

That helped, but the ends were kinda saggy. Is that a word? I needed some bracing on the ends. I used some of the 2″ 1by stock I had left over. This would prove to be inadequate, and would be replaced later by 2×4’s.

What are the standard pool table sizes and dimensions, and how large of a room is required for each?

Standard size pool tables, along with the playing surface dimensions (measured between the noses of the cushions) are:

• 12-ft (snooker): 140″ (356.9 cm) x 70″ (177.8 cm)
• 10-ft (oversized): 112″ (284.5 cm) x 56″ (142.2 cm)
• 9-ft (regulation size table): 100″ (254 cm) x 50″ (127 cm)
• 8-ft+ (pro 8): 92″ (233.7 cm) x 46″ (116.8 cm)
• 8-ft (typical home table): 88″ (223.5 cm) x 44″ (111.8 cm)
• 7-ft+ (large “bar box”): 78-82″ (198.1-208.3 cm) x 39-41″ (99.1-104.1 cm)
• 7-ft (“bar box”): 74-78″ (188-198.1 cm) x 37-39″ (94-99.1 cm)
• 6-ft (“small bar box”): 70-74″ (177.8-188 cm) x 35-37″ (88.9-94 cm)

The distance between the diamonds can be found by dividing the playing surface length by 8 or the width by 4.

For recommended room sizes, see the table of data quoted below.

Full Size Craps Table Dimensions Sets

from RSB FAQ:

The minimum space for a table is the playing area plus the length of a cue (58″) plus about 6 inches for the back swing, more for comfort, on each side. This gives:

“Seven foot” tables vary in size. Work down from the 8′ dimensions. “8+” is an “oversized” 8-foot table.

If your room does not meet these minimum size requirements, many billiard retailers will suggest that you can still put a table in, and use short cues (52″, or 48″). Many people have found they are unhappy having to resort to shorter cues, and should have either gotten a smaller table, or no table at all. Others, of course, take the opposite view — they are delighted to have any table.

In the end, only you will know whether you are happy with the room dimensions and need for short cues. Before you spend $2000 for a table that will cause you to smash the walls in frustration, try this:
(1) Find an indulgent pool hall when it’s not busy.
(2) Measure your space (at home) carefully, including the distance from the table to all walls that require a special cue
(3) Go to the pool hall with a piece or pieces of plywood or some such, and a short cue, and set up the “walls” to replicate where the walls would be in your house. Play for several hours, using the short cue when needed.

Between two tables you can do with about the length of a cue, the limit is caused not by the cue, but by the player being able to go into his stance between the tables. Deluxe rooms really need more room on all sides to let possible passers-by move without bumping into the players.

from realkingcobra (on AZB):

A 4 1/2 x 9ft pool table gets it’s measurements from finish of rail to finish of rail.
4 1/2 feet = 54″
9ft = 108″
Take the playing surface of a 9ft pool table, it’s 50″x100″ now add in the 2″ of cloth on the cushions on the side rails to the playing surface, what you come up with is 2″ of cushion/cloth on the left side rail, plus 2″ of cloth/cushion on the right side rail, plus the 50″ of the playing surface from side to side. Now, add that together and you have 2″+2″+50″ = 54″ which equals 4 1/2 feet.
Now, if you double that measurement you’d be adding up 4 side rails at 2″ each … remember you’re DOUBLING the width, so that means instead of adding just 2 rails, you’d be adding up the width of 4 rails, at 2″ each, plus you’d be doubling the width of the table side to side being 50″ twice, so thats 100″ … now add up … 2″+2″+2″+2″+50″+50″= 108″ which equals 9 feet even, EXCEPT … we all know all pool tables only have 2 end rails and NOT 4, so in order to keep the playing surface twice as long as it is wide … you have to subtract 2 of them 4 rails as ghost rails … meaning they’re not really there on the pool table, so if you take and subtract the 4″ of ghost rails from the 9ft … 108″ that leaves you with 104″, now subtract the 4″ of cloth/cushions that ARE on the table, and you end up with 100″ … so that’s how you get a 50″x100″ playing surface out of a 4 1/2 x 9 pool table.
