When most people think of having a game room, the first thing that comes to mind is a pool table. This is usually because this is the type of gaming table to which adults are most often exposed. They can be found in many public entertainment venues such as bars, clubs, and even at family entertainment centers that also include go-karts and putt-putt golf. A game of pocket billiards in a bar can be relaxing after a long day at work, but why should you have to settle for going to a loud, smoky bar? It would be much more refreshing to return to the peace and quiet of your own home game room and play a game with your closest friends and family on your own pool table with your own pool table accessories. That way, you no longer have to use the excuse that the cue got sticky from beer that was spilled on it by the last person at the bar to play.
Pool has a funny name for a game that is taken so seriously by so many. The name comes from England. In the 19th century, men would come to game rooms to play pocket billiards on the pool tables there. Billiards was looked at as an upscale past-time, but even those in the lower classes were known to play it in the gaming rooms. While there, their conversations often turned to the horse races. Betting on these races was a popular activity among all classes, but most people associated it with the poor or lower classes. The gamblers at the game rooms would gather their money together in order to make a larger bet. This was called "pooling" their money, and the game rooms became known as pool rooms, while the tables themselves came to be called pool tables. Today, game tables are found in many homes, and thanks to professional tournaments aired on stations such as ESPN, pool is now rising above its long-time seedy association.
