Blackball Slate Bed Pool Table

Real Tournament Performance

The Blackball slate bed pool table is a British-made, British-spec pool table that is built for maximum performance and tournament-grade gameplay. It has been created to bring the finest in game quality to the most discerning players, with various features that bring it firmly into the realms of true competition performance.

Blackball tables were developed by legendary 8-ball pool player Ross McInnes. The four-time World Champion used the experience he gained through 30 years of professional pool playing to create the ultimate British pool table, suitable for all levels of competition and casual play.

Two Pocket Types

You can choose which pocket type your table is built with. The Club option is the standard amateur-spec pocket that you’ll find on pub tables and home games room tables. It’s the same as most other British pool tables, and is the one to go for if you’re buying a fun table for your home or business.

The Elite option cuts the pockets tighter to create more of a challenge. This is the pocket specification used in professional International and European tournaments. If you’re a professional player looking for a tournament-grade table for serious practice, the Elite pocket option is the one you should choose.

Accessories & Upgrades

The Blackball table can be modified for commercial installations with the addition of a coin mech, which allows people to pay for credits with small change. You can choose a mechanical mech or an electronic mech. All of these options include a secure cash box, as well as a ball return system with cue ball splitter. And you’ll get an accessory pack with your table, too. It includes a set of Aramith red and yellow balls and a triangle.

Cues are not included with the Blackball table. As this is a professional table aimed at expert players, it is assumed that you'll likely already have your own preferred cue. If you wish to add a pair of 57-inch or 48-inch 2-piece cues to your order, you can use the dropdown above. Or browse our British pool cues section to find one that's perfect for you.

The table comes with a set of premium Aramith red and yellow balls as standard, but you can upgrade these for the true competition-spec Aramith Pro Cup balls if required. And you can upgrade the standard black plastic triangle for the stylish Racker aluminium triangle. Or you can add a two-piece tabletop to your Blackball, to protect the cloth and also to provide a helpful surface. Simply add these to your order using the menu above.

Unique Contactless Payment Option

This table is available with the Contactless Payment system, exclusively available through Liberty Games. Now your customers don't need to ask for change - they can use their contactless card, mobile phone or payment system to instantly add credits.

The system deducts the price of a credit from your customer and instantly sends it to your account. The balls are released immediately. It's quicker and easier than using coins. Read more in our guide to contactless games tables.
