Poker table Drop Boxes.

[ckol2216]

I was wondering if anyone had built there own drop box for there table? I have a table and am going to pay a dealer to deal my game. I need to instal a drop box for the dealer to keep tips in and also for re-buys. If anyone has one that works well let me know! Thanks. - Also I am looking for a smaller one if anyone knows of a good place to buy one. Any and all thoughts would be great

i would get something like this one:

A friend of mine installed a budget-minded dealer toke container under his custom table.

The table surface felt has a standard token/chip/bill slot. He took a 'screw-on-top' tupperware-style container (not the 'burp' type) and made a cut-out in the lid large enough to allow any chips passed through the table-top bill slot to drop through the lid into the container. He then attached the lid to the underside of the table beneath the slot with wood screws. The container itself screws up onto the lid. You simply unscrew the container from the lid (about a quarter-turn, I'd guess) allowing the container to drop away from the table to gain access to the contents.

It's somewhat shallow (3" or so) and made of relatively soft plastic, so it doesn't interfere with the dealer's legs or movement in any way (unlike many casino drop boxes, which have taken a gash out of my knee on more than one occasion).

If security is not an issue, it works perfectly fine, and costs almost nothing.
