How to Play Online Snooker Pool

The object of snooker pool is to receive the most points in a game. The players take turn "potting" the balls. The red balls must sink to gain a point. If one player fails to "pot" a ball, the turn passes to the opponent. When the first player sinks a ball, the turn remains until they miss a shot. You can also receive points if the other player "fouls." Several online websites are available to play snooker pool (see links in Resources).
