Unlike most games which feature a single round, the Trick Shot pool game is played in a round with six rectangular fixed prize panels. To win a prize, a player must deposit one or several red balls into each of these pockets. Failure to place one or more red balls into a pocket will result in the feature being cancelled.
Trick Shot has two unique features that make it interesting. These features include the "High Lo" gamble option and the feature trail. The feature trail has pool ball symbols which light up when a person puts a pool ball in a hand. You can also exchange feature points. To access this feature, the player must deposit enough coins in the game. If the player fails to win enough balls, they can play the feature again once they have won more balls. The game also has the "Yellow Ball into Pocket". The extra pool ball shot indicator light up in this feature.
The Trick Shot pool table features distorted dimensions, as well as wide wooden edging around the table. These elements give the game a cartoony look. The game's pockets are large. Some advantages are shown on the pockets, which may be extra steps in the cash ladder. Some pockets also lack the "D" semicircle that would indicate a base-line. The game is not timed so players can take as many shots they want.
The cue's shape is also different in the game. The cueball is located behind the cueball, and the cue's length appears below it. The cue can be rotated around the cueball. In conjunction with the cue, the power button can move up and down. 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.
2003 was the year that "Trick Shot" was first developed. In January 2004, the first machines went on sale. The original version of the game sold in arcades and bingo halls. However, the casino version was not very popular. Because of its poor performance the casino version was recalled. The game was later released by Bell-Fruit, who called it the "Casino cabinet." It was sold in arcades as well as bingo halls. It was also made easier by adding features such as the "High Lo", a gamble feature.
Pocket Money is another form of pool game. It is played on a non-base line table. Also, the pockets are lined with black plastic inserts. Although the pockets are slightly larger than the Trick Shot game, they are still quite wide. A "D" semicircle is also missing from the game.
The "Extra Pool Ball Shot Indiator" indicator lights up when the player has landed one or more extra pool balls. The "Yellow Ball into Pocket” feature allows the player a second pool ball.
