Travelers to Las Vegas, Reno and other gambling Meccas around the world are dazzled and distracted by the flashing lights and ringing bells, soothed by cool colors and imaginative designs and excited by the chance of winning big money. But none of this would be possible without casino equipment- the basic materials of making winner’s dreams come true.

Casino equipment include the big – roulette tables, blackjack layouts, craps tables – and the small – gambling tokens, playing cards, dice and chips. They also include video poker and slot machines, electronic marvels that simulate standing at the roulette tables or betting on the turn of a card.

Casinos spend millions of dollars annually on supplies. Cards are traded out frequently, to guard against wear. Gamblers’ tastes change, so new slots are always needed. The felt wears out on blackjack and roulette tables and new materials must be applied.

There are literally hundreds of suppliers of casino equipment – a quick Google search will give you a list, including some in your own home town, perhaps. They compete for both wholesale and retail business, so prices are fair. The construction of a new casino means a huge order, so suppliers line up to submit their bids in the hope of not only providing the first supplies, but being the vendor of choice for the long term, which is where the true profits lie.
