[ Game Rules ]

Rules of 8 Ball Pool

8 Ball is played with a cue ball, an 8-ball, and fifteen object balls, numbered 1 through 15. Balls 1-7 are solid colors, and balls 9-15 are striped. One player must pocket balls of solid colors, while the other player the striped ones. The player pocketing their entire group first and then legally pocketing the 8-ball wins the game.

Rules of 9 Ball Pool

9 ball is played with a cue ball and nine object balls numbered 1 through 9. 9 ball is a “rotation” game, meaning that the balls are shot in numerical order. The shooting player must strike the lowest numbered ball on the table first. Players are not required to call any shot, and the game is won when the nine ball is pocketed. A player retains their turn at the table as long as they strike the lowest numbered ball first, avoid fouls, and pockets a ball on each shot. After a miss, the incoming player must shoot from the position left by the previous player, but after any foul the incoming player may start with the cue ball anywhere on the table. The player need not pocket the lowest numbered ball to continue shooting. He may, for example, shoot the 1-ball into the 4-ball thus pocketing the 4. He will continue shooting but must again strike the 1 ball first. If the player shoots the 1-ball into the 9-ball and the 9 is pocketed, the game is over.

Rules of 15 Ball Pool

Fifteen balls are racked in a triangle and all the object balls are placed randomly. On every shot, you must pocket a ball. If the cue ball goes in, it is a foul. Any pocketed ball is spotted when a foul is committed. The player who pockets more than 61 points(each ball has a point value equal to its number) wins the game.

Rules of Full/Short/Mini Snooker

Snooker is played with fifteen(Full/Short Snooker)/ten(Mini Snooker) object balls that are not numbered and are solid red (called reds), six object balls of other colors that are not numbered (called colors in snooker) and a cue ball (called the white ball). The aim of snooker is to pocket the balls legally according to the rules and to score a greater number of points than the opponent. Point values for object balls: red-1, yellow-2, green-3, brown-4, blue-5, pink-6, black-7.

Rules of Bonus Ball

1. If you hit the balls into the hole with consecutive number from small to large, you will get a higher score. Ex: In one round, if you hit the balls into the hole in a serial nimber: 1, 2, 3, you will scored 10, 20, 30, the total score in this round is 60. In one round, if you hit the balls into the hole out of turn: 1, 3, 2, you will scored 10, 10, 10, the total score in this round is 30.
2. The highest score: In one turn, if you hit the balls into the hole in a serial number: 1, 2, 3, …, 14, 15: you will scored 10, 20, 30, …, 140, 150, the total score in this round is 1200.
3. The total socre will be your final score.
4. If you holed the cue ball, the game will be over at once.

Snooker 147 Rules

1. The rule is the same as full snooker’s.
2. Final score = Highest score (in one turn) – Breaks.
