Abstract
A table shuffleboard has a rectangular table top with a divider rail down the center of the table separating the top into two playing courts along a substantial length of the tabletop. A crossover opening at a remote end from the players is provided to enable a sliding game piece or puck to be passed from one court to another, so that players can slide the puck and bank the puck against cushions from one court to the other for scoring during playing a game. The center divider rail includes cushions along its length for rebounding a puck, and the scoring areas are arranged to take into account the skill needed for banking shots in order to obtain high scores. A gate pin blocking arrangement is provided to prevent play when the device is used as a coin operated game.
