The rules are not that difficult

You break defensively

Then you pot a red and if successful you pot a colored ball

The colored balls have a point count of 1-7 the black is 7, pink by center pockets is 6 I think and so on

Any red is worth one point.....when finished a round red and colored and a miss you add up your points and add it to you score

If you foul when shooting you lose all points accumulated in that run

When your opponent misses or fouls you come up and must pot a red first....any colored ball potted is brought back up AO and put on its spot...

I forget when (I think if you just foul and make nothing your opponent gets 4-7 points.....if you foul on a red or a colored 1-4 he gets 4 points..if you foul on a 5-7 he gets the points equal to the point of the colored ball, check this out I might be incorrect!)

Once all the reds are potted you shoot from the 7 down to the one.

Total all points and player with highest points wins

The trick is find a real snooker table.. Where I live they have sudo Snooker tables with pool table pockets. I've played on tables in palaces in India that were 6x12' I believe and they had cues to be used with bridge that we about 8' long. Very tough game......a good snooker player is a master and a delight to watch...the pockets are small and rounded (forget about running a ball down the rail over 1-2 feet it will not go).

Good luck

I am certain you can find authentic snooker tables in Las Vegas!
