I haven't played pool in a bar for decades. Just newly re-interested in pool.
I was wondering, are bar tables essentially the same as they were 30+ years ago, except perhaps the number of quarters for a game?
Are there any debit card operated, or Samsung Pay, or other NFC mobile payment tables?
Any play queue management technology?
Do they still recognize the cue ball by size, or magnetically? I was thinking a 21st century table could have RFID tags in all the balls, detect them as they drop, and return balls or not based on what game one has paid for.
Thanks!
