So I tried playing some 10 ball on a coin op table. From what I understand if the 10 ball were to be pocketed on the break it is to be spotted on the table correct? So does this mean that 10 ball should not be played on a coin op table? Or would you just play where a pocketed 10 ball on the break is an automatic win?

Thanks
 
We play 10 on the break is a win, because it does not happen often. YMMV

But if it is slopped in, spot the 11.
 
Why not just spot one of the higher balls?

I used to play 7 ball on a coin op table with a good friend of mine- get 2 games for the price of 1

Or play nine ball followed by six ball. If the nine goes early, you might get two nine ball racks.
 
Been playing 40yrs and have never seen 10b on a coin-op. I have seen it on a opened up bar-box but not while the mech. was still in.

NAPA league is lagger's choice - 8, 9, or 10 ball. Lag winner chooses either the break or the game. If L-W chooses break, opponent chooses game. I have not played league for a few years, but it was the only league i ever played in for a couple/3 years. We played on some big tables (9' GC's) at the colleges, but a lot was on 7' bar box.

As has been noted on coin table, there's plenty of extra balls if a slop, or money ball goes early. When i was playing, 10 ball could be played early called off legal hit, but on the break did not count, slop did not count.

Always sucked to grind out a game of 9 ball and win only to have the same bet on 6 ball and lose it lol.

Same here! I hated bar room nine ball because my six ball break pocketed a ball maybe forty percent of the time. Of course most of the rest of the time the other player only had to connect the dots! My nine ball bar table win percentage was probably 20-30% higher than my six ball win percentage.

Sounds funny and it takes away the rest of the balls laying around if needed but I have played where they played the six ball game first, then the nine ball game. This was far more pleasing than nine then six. Same thing, but it sure felt better winning the nine ball and letting the other person feed the table. You might try this, just finishing each set of balls winner if alternating table fees it still feels better.

I have never played paying on the five and the nine playing nine ball, that might be interesting too.

I've played many 7 ball games, but never 6 ball. I wonder what the rack looks like
 
First I've ever heard of 10-ball on a coin op table. I've probably played on a bar table about five times since 1980, but back in the day, it was nine ball and then six ball, two games for a quarter!

Call shot games don't make sense on a coin op table. Money ball made illegally should be loss of rack.

If you must play 10-ball on a coin op, the ten should count on the break and there should be no calling of shots.

Odd. 10-ball on a coin op table is pretty old at this point. The US Open 10-ball was on small tables for a whlle, and the US Bar Table 10-ball had to be a decade old. But those are obviously opened up. At SBE, the PIT often had 10-ball challenge tables. Those werent always opened up, so you’d often get a rack with all kinds of numbered balls beyond the 10-ball.

I’ve played countless games of 10-ball on a bar table when the mechanism was in operation. Really no different than 9-ball on a bar box, as far as handling early money balls is concerned.
