In the 19th Century, billiards became known as pool, when horserace track betting pool rooms were equipped with billiards tables for passing the time between races. The association of betting poolrooms with the billiards tables eventually led people to refer to these tables as pool tables. The first coin-operated pool table was invented in 1903. It cost apenny to play. Balls were made out of ivory back then, and one tusk yielded only about four balls. The invention of celluloid and other plastics replaced ivory balls in the 20th Century. The side cushions are made of a certain type of vulcanized rubber, and the felt is made of wool (just as it has been made for over 400 years) or a wool-nylon blend.

Now pool is one of the most popular sports in the world, and tournaments are held each year, with jackpots sometimes reaching the millions of dollars. You dont have to spend millions of dollars when you buy a pool table for your home or business. Typically, pool tables run anywhere from a few hundred dollarsto many thousands of dollars, varying in quality and style.
