Did You Know Custom Plastic Fabrication Is Behind Many Gambling Materials?

Did you know that many components used in casinos and gambling environments are made using custom plastic fabrication?

From roulette wheel inserts to chip trays, dealer shoe covers, and even the sleek acrylic sign holders on card tables—plastic fabrication plays a huge role in both the look and function of casino setups. Materials like acrylic, ABS, and polycarbonate are commonly used because they're durable, lightweight, and easy to customize.

I’ve recently been exploring how fabrication techniques like CNC machining, laser cutting, and thermoforming are used to create these parts. It's fascinating how much design freedom and branding flexibility plastic allows—plus it stands up to heavy daily use.

Has anyone here worked with or seen these kinds of materials in action? What’s your take on plastic vs metal or wood for casino applications?

Would love to hear thoughts, especially from anyone with experience in casino equipment, fabrication, or design!
