Thinking about what I want for flooring in my poker room.
Currently I'm thinking of going with some pergo type flooring and having a large area rug made from some casino type carpet (something pretty busy).

Any ideas?

Would also like to see who has the wildest carpet out there in use at Chiptalker's home game.

at least I'm not alone in my facination with casino carpet: http://www.rgj.com/news/stories/html.../26/102649.php

That would be cool. Be sure you have a solid border put on the casino carpet before you bind it. Crazy casino carpet straight to the edge will look weird.

I saw some casino supply website selling remnants of actual casino carpet but don't remember where. Do you know of that place?

Yah, I was on the site yesterday, but now I can't seem to find it.

I will spend sometime going through my IE history to see if I can locate it again.

I found it again: http://www.carpet-usa.com/ctile.php

You have to look towards the bottom of the page.
I wish they had better sample photos.

Another site that had some carpets I liked was: http://www.cavaliercarpets.co.uk/Car...ton.c1092.aspx
but they're a UK outfit.

carpet-usa link shows carpet TILES. cannot be made into a rug. could be easily installed (probably by you if you can cut them) in the whole room.

The link I was thinking about was some poker-supply place that had current, famous casino carpets. Man, I wish I could remember who it was.

Thanks, I didn't catch that.

So the quest continues for a good over the top casino style carpet...

Lemme know if you find any. I'm a pro carpet installer and can make rugs with paperless tape and muslin backing. Personally, I don't see a reason to do that, just seal it seam it and bind it, no one looks underneath... Pergo aint walnut, after all

Ok, this is a bit strange, but this is probably the only thread I'm ever going to bring this up in, so here goes.

There is actually an Archive of Casino Carpet online; perhaps you could figure our what you like, or pick one that is similar to your fav casino;

Enjoy

I have to hand it to you tikipirate, that is an amazing find. Imagine going into a casino, and completely ignoring the chips... to take photos of the carpet!
