Whether at a billiards café, billiards restaurant or plain old poolroom, your gang can have lots of fun breaking away from traditional game play for fun jackpot variations like this one.
A game like 10-Ball certainly lends itself to math computation for gambling games at billiards. For a small amount of money, a group can break from the ordinary (pun intended) or an establishment can liven the action in safe ways for their clientele. (Note that local regulations will permit or prohibit betting pools at your local poolroom.)
”For A Mere $1 Win The Jackpot”
Take tickets for $1.00 US each and promise your group 100% payback. Place the stubs in a basket and draw a random winner to break (and perhaps hi-run) on a 10 ball rack.
Each ball pocketed legally is worth one-tenth (10%) of the pot. Scratch at any time and the money stays in the pot.
Example: $35 in the pot, player breaks and runs 5 balls and wins $17.50.
The same can be done with 9-Ball or another rotation game but the payout math becomes more complex.
