The SAM Balmoral Coin Operated Pool Table is a beautiful table designed to grace your home while delivering professional-level performance. The Balmoral has been tried and tested on the professional circuit, offering the most accurate and consistent playing surface in English pool. It has been used in the Annual BAPTO Pool Finals for over 15 years, the UK’s largest and most prestigious pub pool championships.
English pool was originally conceived as a bar game, borrowing elements from snooker but adapted for smaller tables suited to British pubs and bars. Today, red and yellow balls have become synonymous with the game, which has evolved into a serious sport with nationwide leagues and tournaments.
ProActive Cushion System
SAM Pool tables feature aluminium extruded top frames, reducing movement and
ensuring durability. The real innovation lies in the ProActive Cushion System, which ensures unmatched ball response.
• Bolted metal-to-metal construction eliminates cushion movement over time.
• 10mm standard bolts fit snugly into the aluminium frame, providing consistent ball response.
• Cushions are precisely aligned and secured with a full-length plate.
• The top frame clamps to the slate, ensuring the entire playing surface is levelled as one unit.
• Players compare the ProActive cushion response to that of a steel block snooker table.
SAM coin-operated pool tables are high-revenue earners, combining stunning style with professional gameplay.
SAM’s AccuVend eliminates the common issue of last ball retention, which can lead to vandalism, refund requests, and customer dissatisfaction. This ensures:
✔ Players can re-vend the balls if one remains in the tray.
✔ Less downtime, more revenue for operators.
Samik 4 (Standard Electronic):
Samik 3 (TriBand – Advanced Electronic System):
Offers the same benefits as Samik 4, but includes:
✔ Gas strut top frame lift for safety and easier maintenance.
✔ Setax Velcro-fit cloth system, allowing a single engineer to recloth the table quickly.
✔ Tough moulded vinyl pocket liners, screwed in place for durability.
✔ 12 top frame clamps for added security and even playfield pressure.
✔ Separate steel cash door for enhanced security, with optional steel plates and chrome security bars.
✔ Electronic and mechanical coin meters for double verification of cash collections.
✔ Single-key ball doors to simplify management.
With ProActive cushions, easy levelling feet, and plywood construction, the SAM Professional English Pool Table is not just a redesign, but a complete rethinking of how a pool table should be made for players and operators alike.
Plywood construction gives SAM tables great strength and durability without excess weight. It is less susceptible to damp conditions, more accessible to repair when damaged, and harder wearing joints and fixings than the more commonly used MDF.
There is no substitute for slate when it comes to achieving a level playing field. The natural slate, sourced from the finest quarries, is diamond honed to SAM’s exacting standards before installation.
Top Frame/Slate Options:
• Level your table in minutes using only a 13mm open-ended spanner.
• No heavy lifting is required.
• Ensures pinpoint precision for tournament-standard accuracy.
Champion models feature carpeted internal ball runs, reducing noise and ensuring smooth ball return to the baulk end exit box.
