Abstract

The table comprises a playing surface 2, pockets 4 from said playing surface, colour sensing means to sense the colour of balls passed through said pockets, and control means to direct said balls so as to be either retained in said table or returned from said table in accordance with the colour of said balls sensed by said colour sensing means. Pocketed balls pass along pathway 7 and through the colour sensing means. Each ball, depending on its colour, then progresses along a retain pathway 14 towards a retention device 18 or is diverted by a movable gate or solenoid through a gap 13 to arrive at a collection point 16. The retain pathway 14 may comprise one or more tiltable ball return means 21 which are electrically latched by respective solenoid 34. <IMAGE> [GB2158360A]
