Yes it's part of the mat. Where are you going to put your chips if you get rid of this?

As pointed out above, this is still just topping a Barrington table; you'll need somewhere to keep your chips. There's no big rail with built-in racks like a proper craps table.Is this outside area I marked in green part of the mat? If so can we just remove it and enlarge everything else to make the entire betting area larger?
Oh I like how 4 5 6 8 9 10 are the full length across.... Might have to do that.I would be in for a roulette topper.
what if craps was half? Pictures below from @Bredog thread:

MUCH more affordable to have a table topper than to build an entire craps table!Oh, Fark me! Just stop already!! I can only afford and have room for so many. I can't buy them all!
You can buy a craps diamond section and simply stand it up against the inside of the rail at one end. They are much heavier and sturdy than you would think.MUCH more affordable to have a table topper than to build an entire craps table!
Any thoughts on how to create a portable/temporary bumper to toss the dice into for a barrington style table?
So something like this will just stand up on it's own?You can buy a craps diamond section and simply stand it up against the inside of the rail at one end. They are much heavier and sturdy than you would think.
I used a cardboard box at one point to tuck under the rail and then line the inside with the diamonds, but the diamonds stand up on their own without it.
That's right. They are actually very heavy and rigid. Dice throw and shake test video here:So something like this will just stand up on it's own?

It wouldn't be constantly getting knocked over in the typical excitement of a craps game? In my experience they usually get pretty wild. I would think it would need a supporting structure to set on the end on the table.
Well look at that! Thanks! Now I want that topper!!!That's right. They are actually very heavy and rigid. Dice throw and shake test video here:

I don't think it's specialized bets. Roll them all/Make em All/All tall All Small whatever you call it is seen on pretty much all the craps table I've seen. It's a pretty standard bet and one I try every time I roll.Fixed some of the issues. Still need to think about the specialized bets being discussed, but for now I fixed the size of the point numbers and the pass line.
Way more work than I thought!

That's a lot of room for the pass line. Pass line is only a single bet from each player and all players don't make that bet. A single thin bar all the way around like you have bottom should be enough and it will free up real estate to Make em All bets. I'm not sure what those E and C bets bets are.Fixed some of the issues.

C&E are single-roll bets for any Craps (2,3,12) or Eleven.That's a lot of room for the pass line. Pass line is only a single bet from each player and all players don't make that bet. A single like you have below should be enough and it will clear room for make em all bets. I'm not sure what those E and C bets bets are.
Place bets are positioned around the inside of the box. The middle area, in the center of the box, is where come bets are moved to and Buy bets are positioned. The area above the double line is where lay bets are positioned.What's the significance of the "railroad tracks" above and below your point numbers? (the 2 sets of parallel horizontal lines)

I consider the railroad tracks important to distinguish place bets and come/buy bets.
Here's an example game to illustrate...
I'm not showing any Pass or Don't pass bets.
In this example the point rolled is nine. Then multiple people bet on the come bet and varying place bets. Two people layed the 4 and 10. The next roll was a 5. These come bets are moved to the middle of the 5. Some added odds to their 5.
Green = Place bets
Yellow = come bets (Gold = odds)
Red = Lay bets
Dont Pass
Now we're waiting on the shooter, and here's how everything looks.

Notice how nobody bet on the Big 6 or 8 because they are shit bets!
Also, I really like this style @NotDunric ! Couple things that still stand out is
- The Seven bet in the middle. It's really tall. You can make it the same height as the Any Craps bet on the bottom. It's be more vertically symmetrical and you'll have room for other stuff between the 6 and 8 place bet boxes.
- Please balance the size of the Field bet and Come bet. The Field bet area feels to large.
I think the Odds thing is just something players will have to be responsible for managing between their stacks and bets, and is just a given limitation of a topper type table like this, unless an entire additional betting line was added to the loop, but that just eats into overall design space.
- The Odds bet (below the Pass Line and would be in the outer racetrack) is right in where players would be keeping their chips. I don't know what can be done about this because we need room for everything else. Also, the On/Off puck would probably be right in the way of the working stacks of the dealer's/house's chips.
