Poker Chip Dealer Tray (what's on the bottom?)

[checkm8r]

Does anyone know what the poker chip dealer trays look like on the bottom? Namely, are they flat/flush on the bottom wherein I'd be able to just use them without mounting them to a table? Here's one example:

No, they are not flat. They do not sit flat on a table. You would be better off buying one like this:

It doesn't have to be mounted on the table. You just cut a hole the right size and it sits in it. I've also seen people cover the piece of table that was cut out in felt and be able to set it back in the hole when they don't want to use the dealer rack.

I wish more people would report this seller to ebay.
10 bucks, and 40 for shipping?
Every time someone posts his auctions, he is always evading sellers fees with outrageous shipping fees.

Buy a different tray. The once he has listed is kind of a POS. It's thin sheet metal, fab'd in china with little attention to detail.

Go to 5star, casino4you or somewhere else and get a standard black PVC dealer tray. Should run you about 20 buck. I have picks and details on those including the cut templates for them if you need. I'll have to dig them up as I haven't done a dealer table in a while.

As seen (possibly) in one of my tables built:

Thanks. I'd like to find a lockable tray for use during play that's flat on the bottom so that I can sit it on a normal counter-top or table. I currently use the bird cages with a pad-lock which work great for storage, but not so great during play.

I agree. But I have to confess I have purchased several of the 600-ct bird cages from him/her. For a while, income5 was the only seller for these.

Then plan on spending 250 from Paulson for an Alum. one as seen in card rooms which have the locking top. (or a locking "BJ" style rack, without 10 rows and no car slot)

Do you have a link for these? I Googled Paulson Dealer Trays and ended up with a lot of garbage.

This one looks like it MIGHT be flush on the bottom. It does mention mounting it to a table, however.

Never mind on this one. I re-read it and it sounds like cutting one large hole vice drilling several screw holes.
