Pool Tables.....?

Question

Why do pool tables have multiple coin slots when they only accept 50 pence pieces, or £1 pound coins?

They have slots for 10's and 20's but I've never seen one that takes them as they are blocked!!!!

Answer 1

I guess it depends where you live and how tight your landlord is, our pub charges 30p.

Slots take 10ps and 20ps

Answer 2

The multiple slots are there for when the price goes up. Instead of changing the whole mechanism they just unblock the slots.
