9 Ball Pool
Instructions
Tap or drag on the table to aim your billiard cue, and drag the power bar to set your shot power. Lift your finger to take your shot.
In this game, you will need to sink the ball in order from 1 to 9. You can see the color of the lowest ball on the field next to the avatar of the player who is shooting.
When you see arrow icons around the cue ball, this means you can drag the ball to move it. This only happens when you're breaking or when your opponent commits a foul.
TIP: Tap on the cue ball icon at the top of the game screen to adjust the spin.
9 Ball Pool Rules
Object of the Game
Players must hit the lowest-numbered ball first with each shot. The player who legally pockets the 9 ball wins the game.
The Break
The breaker must hit the 1 ball first. If any ball is pocketed on the break, the breaker continues shooting. If no balls are pocketed, play passes to the opponent. If the 9 ball is pocketed legally during the break, the breaker wins the game.
Legal Shots
On every shot, the cue ball must hit the lowest-numbered ball on the table first. After contact, either a ball must be pocketed or at least one ball (cue ball or object ball) must hit a rail.
If a player pockets any ball on a legal shot, they continue shooting. If the player hit the lowest ball first and a different ball (that isn't the 9 ball) was pocketed, the player keeps their turn. If the player hit the lowest ball first and the 9 ball goes in (either directly or via combination), the player wins immediately.
Fouls
If a player commits any of the following fouls, their opponent is given "ball-in-hand" and may place the cue ball anywhere on the table:
- Pocketing the cue ball
- Failing to hit the lowest-numbered ball first
- After hitting the lowest ball, failing to pocket any ball or have any ball contact a rail
- Failing to hit any ball with the cue ball
Winning the Game
Generally, you win the game by pocketing the 9 ball after all the other balls have been cleared. You will also win if you pocket the 9 ball on the break, or if you pocket it after hitting the lowest ball on the table.
