Ther uses
The little jug can also be used for a little game called thirty one. This is a gambling game often played on slow days in the pool room. Each player draws two pills from the jug on the initial round. Then one pill per round until everyone is satisfied with their "hand" or until someone goes bust. If someone goes bust he must declare it and the highest hand to 31 wins.The best initial round draw is a combination of the 15 and 16 pill which adds up to 31 and is an automatic winner. Some people agree before the game to play double the wager is this combination is drawn.

Pea Pool
We always passed out 2 "peas" to each player.
The player keeps 1 of his peas a secret and it is his ball number.
The second pea is turned over and is shown to determine in what order is your turn at the table.
The player receiving the #16 pea, if recieved, was always the starting player.
Every player agrees on the pay out amount of money for the pocketed secret balls.
All players secret peas are each worth the same amount.
When your ball pockets you must show your secret pea.
You pay the value of your ball to the player pocketing your secret ball number.
If you pocket your own secret ball you are paid double by all players.
If your ball is pocketed by another player you can still pocket balls.
The game ends after any player pockets his own ball or no pay balls remain.
