8 Ball Pool is a highly addictive classic arcade game that has been enjoyed by pool players all over the world. The game is offered by Miniclip and offers both a single player and multi-player experience to players. It allows players to compete against each other and aim to become the best 8 ball pool player around. With realistic graphics, incredible mechanics, and the ability to play with friends and strangers, 8 ball pool is one of the most exciting online pool games available out there.
In 8 Ball Pool, the player plays alternately with his/her opponent and attempts to hit the balls in the pocket, scoring points. When the game starts, each player must take either the stripes or the solids—all depending on the breakdown of balls in the pool table. The player then gets three shots per turn, and the winner of the game is determined by the number of points scored. If a player fails to pocket a ball, the turn gets passed to the opponent.
After a player’s turn, the balls that are pocketed are officially taken out of the game and no longer able to be used in any way by either player. The player can continue to shoot until the maximum of three shots is reached, after which the turn is passed. When the game gets to its conclusion, both players must have had the same number of turns, with the one that got the most points as the one who wins.
The table rotates after each player’s turn, ensuring that each player has a equal chance to play from the same position. This rule helps keep the game balanced and allows for fair gameplay for both players.
In order to win the game, a player needs to pocket all the balls in the table and be the first to pocket the 8-ball. During the game, a player must pocket the 8 ball or clear the table but if the 8 ball gets pocketed accidentally, the player who did so will automatically lose the game regardless of the other balls that have been pocketed. In case of a foul, the turn passes to the opponent.
