Pool Hall Pro is a simulation of eleven billiard games, including six pool variants, four snooker variants, and basic billiards. The controls are simple: aligning the cue and then simulating the strength of the stroke with the input device. To get a better view, players can switch between two camera perspectives: first person and an overhead view.
The game features several playing modes, including exhibition matches and tournaments. An arcade mode offers a simplified handling for beginners or those looking for a more relaxed experience. Players can win money and rewards by completing matches, which can be used to buy items for their virtual home. Other incentives include trophies and new gameplay elements.
