MULTI-TABLE GUIDE
How to Run Two Poker Tables on One iPad
Two tables do not always need two complete control stations. The key is deciding what should stay synchronized and what each table must control independently.
Updated · 2026-07-22
Decide whether the tables share one event
If both tables are part of the same tournament, use the same blind schedule and synchronized breaks. If they are separate sit-and-go events, keep stacks, levels, and pause controls independent.
Label every clock clearly
Use table names such as Table 1 and Table 2, or room names that dealers already use. Similar-looking clocks without labels cause avoidable mistakes when one table pauses.
Test independent controls
Before play, pause only one table, advance only one level, and verify which audio alert belongs to which clock. Restore both clocks to the correct starting state after testing.
Plan table balancing
For one tournament across two tables, decide who moves players and when tables combine. The clocks can stay synchronized, but seating decisions still need one responsible floor person.
WTGB split-screen mode can display up to four tournament clocks, so the same preparation method scales beyond two tables.

How many clocks can WTGB show?
WTGB supports split-screen layouts for up to four tournament clocks, depending on the device and chosen layout.
