Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0161851A2] A billiard table 10 having a playing surface 15, a plurality of pockets 13 at the edge of the playing surface and cushions 14 extending along the edge of the playing surface and between said pockets 13. A reversible electric motor 18 coupled to a drive wheel 19 is provided and said drive wheel frictionally engages the underside of the playing surface 15 to effect rotation of the playing surface about its central vertical axis. The rotation of the playing surface enables the players of the game to play from only one area at the edge of the table and therefore little space is required around the remainder of the periphery of the table 10. A sloping gully 21 extending under the pockets returns the balls to a collecting box 21a.
