Firstly we’ll explain how to set your coin-operated pool table to Free Play.
1 – First, you will need to access the coin mechanism itself by opening the Ball Draw using the keys that were supplied with your table.
2 – You will notice that there are varying ‘lanes’ on the top of the mechanism where users place their coins when paying for a game. You’ll also see that there will already be some unused lanes covered.
3 – The unused lanes are covered by what is called ‘Blanking Plates’, you should have some of these spare from when the table was originally supplied to you.
4 – To set the table to Free Play, all you need to do is simply ‘blank off’ the lanes that aren’t already covered.
5 – Once all lanes are covered, then users of your pool table will only need to push in the mechanism every time they want to start a new game.
