Zuzzy (http://zuzzy.com/)do a line of textured rubber mats - I've not got one but I have bought their resin stuff and they've sent me a sample strip of it. Quite nice but rather pricey and really needs painting.

Those Zuzzy Mats look pretty awesome. Though anyone know how well the painted versions would hold up to repeated rolling? I can't imagine acrylic paints are extremely flexible. Maybe latex paint? hmm...

Are there any out there like Sabol Designs combat mats that you don't have to paint?

I have a zuzzy mat. It took me around 4 hours to paint, not including dry time. It seems to hold up pretty good. I have rolled up mine quite a few times and have seen no paint chipping off. It has had over 20 games played on it and it still looks like the day I finished painting it. I will say that you should use a box to roll dice in if you have one on your table, dice bounce funny on the latex. I painted mine with acrylics from walmart, thinned out a bunch with water.

When we had an art chap come to look at our paintings, he said to store un-framed paintings rolled up with he painted side inside, as it minimises the amount of strain placed on the painted surface. I wonder if that would help with these mats.
