The ultimate in luxury and accuracy for the English pool player. Finished in real wood veneers with solid wood turned legs, the warm sophistication of the Balmoral’s Mahogany or Oak cabinet belies its strength and the pinpoint accuracy of SAM’s ProActive cushion system. The aluminum extruded top rails hug the cushions along their entire length for maximum ball response and consistency. A beautiful table to grace your home, tried and tested on the Professional circuit to provide the most accurate and consistent playing surface in English pool, ever. SAM tables with ProActive cushions have been used at the Annual BAPTO Pool finals for more than 15 years. The UK’s longest running, largest and most prestigious, pub pool championships.
There is no substitute for slate when it comes to a level playing field. A natural material hewn from the great mountain ranges of the world, diamond honed to perfection by SAM, stored and prepared in just the right environment to ensure perfect level when installed.
SAM tables are a piece of cake to level with just a 13mm open ended spanner. No lifting of the table required at all so no help required and greater accuracy can be achieved with your spirit level.
Champion tables feature carpeted internal ball runs to reduce the noise as ball return to the baulk end exit box. Included accessories are 1 set of Red & Yellow Pool Balls, 2 cues, plastic triangle, box of chalk and a set of rules.
Top Frame/Slate options
Sports/Commercial – the top frame is hinged for ease of access to the slate and table interior for maintenance and reclothing. Catches are located on either side of every pocket to ensure a secure playing surface and accurate cushion response.
Professional/Champion – the top frame is secured by bolts to the slate for the most consistent and accurate playfield and cushion response.
SAM coin operated pool tables are proven high revenue earners. Stunning style and truly professional playing standards will attract customers and keep them coming back for more.
But its inside where the real innovation and quality shines through. SAM’s electronic systems ensure fast return on investment, long site life and low maintenance costs.
AccuVend is unique to SAM electronic tables, eliminating last ball retention. Don’t underestimate the effects of a pool table only partially vending the balls. Vandalism, refunds to players, extra work for staff and dissatisfaction all round. That affects income and ultimately the viability of the table in the venue. By allowing the player to re-vend the balls if there is still one in the tray, SAM AccuVend keeps everyone happy and the revenue rolling in.
AccuVend - Coin Mechanism
How many times has an engineer been called to a table after the venue reports:
- ‘the balls haven’t come out’
- ‘its not vending’
- ‘I put the money in and got nothing’
How many times have exhaustive tests failed to recreate the fault?
The most common cause of this is players inserting money before the last potted ball(s) of the last game have arrived in the tray, depending on table size and model, this can take more than 10 seconds.
The table will not then deliver a full set of balls and the subsequent complaint to staff will result in:
- an argument
- a refund
- a service call
- the table being put out of use
- lost revenue (in busy sites often between £200 and £400 a week.)
- some sites give out spare balls, causing more problems for successive games
- any or all of the above
All pool tables can suffer from this problem.
AccuVend eliminates the ball left in tray problem by allowing further vends within a 2 minute period. This is long enough to deliver a full set of balls but not long enough for multiple games to be played. During AccuVend, the playbutton will flash. This should be properly explained to venue staff to ensure staff and players understand the feature.
