Yep, very cool. So what's the history on
that table ? It looks like the genuine
article, OR you did one helluva job making
it.

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

No it's a real Paulson 14 foot craps table identical to the ones that I prefer to play on in real casinos. This particular table used to be at Sunset Station before they replaced them with what I consider to be inferior tables. I have about 1200 Paulson 007 chips (Casino de Isthmus), and the other half are decent chips that look as nice but were quite a bit cheaper.
The quality of the chips and the table are actually nicer than most casinos. I also have a lockable brand new drop box, and all the parts and pieces. I also had the limits sign made myself.
If you go to the album on photo bucket you can see a lot more details.

Are the two kids allowed to play on it ?
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

My girl doesn't like to play, but my 9-year-old boy has rolled at 40 minute roll before.

40 minutes is very impressive at a fast table.
I threw for an hour and 7 minutes and made 17 passes in Aruba 35 years ago but that table was slow as hell as the idiots were pressing $5 and slowing the game...ha ha ha
The table was 4 deep by the end of the roll and everyone yelling. The Casino never lost so much at that point. $107,000 on that roll for everyone. They had low limits.
Lesson: if you hear a crap table getting loud, go bet!

On a serious note, while taking a holiday from gambling, have fun with kids. They grow up so damn fast !

Very cool table, and cool prints.
One of the venues I deal for my poker league is called The Stuffed Olive. They have similar prints on their walls.

How come the bank isn't set up right? You should have the highest denomination chips in the center, etc.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. The woman pushed me pretty hard to make it look a little nicer, and now I'm starting to think it was worth it. I spent a ton of time and money last weekend doing all that stuff, and I was not sure it was worth it, but after reading the comments, it makes me feel more proud to have invested the time and money to make it look so nice.
The woman is definitely happy, and that was my primary objective really.

Did you get those prints upstairs at The Rio?

I was invited to the event where Godard was showing his latest painting at his studio there. But I decided not to go at the last minute since my woman wasn't able to go and I think I was just not up to it. I did want to meet and talk with the guy a bit, but oh well. But, no I got these prints custom framed at Michael's for how I wanted them to look. They were not cheap, but the cost wasn't in the print but in the frames.
I might still look to have the artist sign the prints. I think he's generally up for signing his work at events where he shows up. He seems to be a really nice guy.
