Is this table double sided like black jack on one side, plain poker on the other or is it assumed that both games will be played on the single side?

One side. I'm assuming it's that way to give it stability and protection. It folds in half making the black buttom part the harder shell

The bottom is a black canvass (ostensibly durable) surface. Both poker and blackjack are played on the same surface.

Hi! It can definitely be played as a stand alone game, but it works seamlessly with all the other exansions. I think it is fun to mix them all together, it makes for larger decks and the same old cards pop up less. Have fun!

Table is great for singles, I have played dubs on it too and it's ok. It's about 1/2 the width and 3/4 the length of a full table, but surprisingly playable, however it's a more controlled game as smashes are difficult. It is a little shorter, so after a while it's a little hard on the back, but it's perfect for my small basement and the games I've played with friends have been competitive and almost as fun as full size pong. Hope this helps.

I actually returned this game and bought one with a backlit screen for my husband, who has been playing handheld solitaire for years. He has never complained about not being able to win. Never heard that one before. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Lowest payout is jacks or better, but no game called jacks or better! Lots of video poker games included. Hope this helps...........

Please do not try to fold this table and lean one side against the wall. This table comes in two equal pieces, imagine two card tables held together by a net. You see what I mean - you can't do it. M. Clancy

I believe it is two-sided. I gave it to my sister for her neighborhood. For the price, it's great.

yes. my wife and i play it as 2 players all the time. it is more tense; back and forth; very strategic. because you only have one opponent, everything you do is directed at him/her (and of course to benefit yourself). in the two player mode, there is a dummy player between the two of you. on the first turn, player A plays for himself, and plays for the dummy player simultaneously. on the next turn, person B players for himself and the dummy player. and so on. but you can play for the dummy player in such a way to benefit yourself or hurt your opponent. it's real fun. in some ways the argument can be made that playing with 2 players is better. yes. my wife and i play it as 2 players all the time. it is more tense; back and forth; very strategic. because you only have one opponent, everything you do is directed at him/her (and of course to benefit yourself). in the two player mode, there is a dummy player between the two of you. on the first turn, player A plays for himself, and plays for the dummy player simultaneously. on the next turn, person B players for himself and the dummy player. and so on. but you can play for the dummy player in such a way to benefit yourself or hurt your opponent. it's real fun. in some ways the... » Read More yes. my wife and i play it as 2 players all the time. it is more tense; back and forth; very strategic. because you only have one opponent, everything you do is directed at him/her (and of course to benefit yourself). in the two player mode, there is a dummy player between the two of you. on the first turn, player A plays for himself, and plays for the dummy player simultaneously. on the next turn, person B players for himself and the dummy player. and so on. but you can play for the dummy player in such a way to benefit yourself or hurt your opponent. it's real fun. in some ways the argument can be made that playing with 2 players is better. « Show Less

I didn't think about this possibility until you asked. I would think splitting into two groups and somehow taking the winners against the other winners would be a fine contest. I really think it would be easier playing with two sets than one. However, 1 tower and two sets of "thingees" would be quite hard. Good luck. Ollie

I'm sorry - I know absolutely nothing about the Shelti Breakout table. I would hope that for an extra $400, it would be a nicer version. My only comment is that two players broke at the ankles shortly after our purchase. Carrom replaced them free of charge, but it was surprising they broke under normal playing conditions. I would try to find both games in a local store and compare their features and quality first-hand.

The size of the table is 48" from one flat side to the other flat side in an octagon (8 players) configuration. I have tested it on a standard 33" or 34" card table and the flat sides of the poker table almost match the corners of the card table. This causes about a 6 inch overhang on each side of the card table. I am testing it with 6 people this weekend. I have no idea how it will work stability wise with either table. We may wind up playing on the floor or at one end of our rectangular dining room table. But if it works, it beats the heck out of a regulation poker table that costs in the thousands. It is too bad there is not a moderate cost poker table out there. The size of the table is 48" from one flat side to the other flat side in an octagon (8 players) configuration.

The CLD-V2600 is a single sided player. However, it is a VERY Dependable piece of Equipment. Hope this helps.

Yes I noticed that too. I happen to know how to play the game so I don't need them. But if you go online I'm sure you can find it somewhere. It's the American version of Mahjongg. But in the deck there are both versions. Good luck

my impression is that double sided chippers are not approved. this one of course is one sided.

No there is no poker included. Also, I had multiple of these shipped that arrived damaged so just be aware before you order.

Never tried it with just one, but I'd bet it would work; you might have to adjust the number of cards you get per hand until you get to a point where you feel it is "balanced" (probably one more card per hand than two-person game)
