Unlike most games which feature a single round, the Trick Shot pool game is played in a round with six rectangular fixed prize panels. The player must pot one or more red balls into one of these pockets in order to win a prize. Failure to place one or more red balls into a pocket will result in the feature being cancelled.
Trick Shot is unique because it has two interesting features. These are the "High Lo” gamble feature, and the feature trails. The pool ball symbols in the feature trail are lit up when a player holds a pot of a ball. The game also includes a feature exchange facility. In order to access this feature, the player must insert enough coins into the game. If the player fails to win enough balls, they can play the feature again once they have won more balls. The "Yellow Ball into Pocket” function is available. This feature lights up the extra pool shot indicator.
Trick Shot pool tables feature distorted dimensions as a well as wide, wooden edging all around the table. These elements make it look cartoon-like. The game features large pockets. The pockets may have additional steps on the cash ladder, so there are some advantages. Some pockets are also missing a "D" semi-circle, which would indicate a base line. The game is untimed so that the player can take as many shots and as many times as they wish.
In the game, the cue's shape also changes. While the cue looks behind the ball, the cue's height is very short. You can also rotate the cue ball around. The power bar also cycles in tandem with the cue. This feature allows the player determine the strength of a shot by determining the point in the powercycle at the time the shot was taken. This feature is similar to the Race to the Pocket feature.
In 2003, the pool game "Trick Shot” was developed. In January 2004, the first machines were made available. Although the arcade version was popular, the casino version wasn't. Because of its poor performance the casino version was recalled. Bell-Fruit released the game later, naming it the "Casino Cabinet". It was sold in arcades, as well as bingo halls. A number of features were added to the game, including the "High Lo" gamble option.
Pocket Money is another form of pool game. It is played on a non-base line table. The pockets have black plastic inserts. The pockets in this game are slightly oversized, but are not quite as wide as the pockets in the Trick Shot game. It also doesn't have a semi-circle with the "D" symbol.
The game has an "Extra Pool Ball Shot Idicator", which lights up when a player puts in one or two extra balls. The "Yellow Ball into Pocket” option allows the player pot an extra pool ball into a single pocket.
