Optima Coin Operated Slate Bed Pool Table

Optima Coin-Operated Slate Bed Pool Table

The Optima Pool table is an extremely hardwearing and very heavy duty slate bed table. It is a full-size coin-operated model that is ideal for bars, clubs, hotels, offices and most commercial premises that require a table for intensive play. This table will be delivered free of charge, and we can offer professional installation if required. Our installation service includes a free bonus accessory pack.

This table is produced to tournament standards. It comes with a ¾ inch thick Italian slate bed playing surface, high response cushion rubber and UK manufactured pool cloth in a range of colours. The table cabinet is constructed from MDF with a hardwearing laminate finish in a choice of colours. It is supported by four solid timber polished turned legs to match the cabinet.

This high-quality pool table has been used in many professional events over the years. A selection of these competitions are listed below:

• AFEBAS Tournament
• European Blackball Association's World Masters
• Jersey Pool Festival
• Isle of Man European Championships
• French Grand National
• Scottish Pool Tour

The table is coin-operated and guarantees a good return on the investment. This Optima is an attractive model that will be popular with players of all abilities. We offer a choice of two table mechanisms as listed below.

MECHANISM

Mechanical Mechanism – This version has a push chute Essex straight 6 mechanism. The player simply puts the correct money into the slot and pushes the mech to release the balls. The money then drops into the secure coin box inside the table. This type of coin mechanism does require the correct coin configuration. The mechanism can be changed to your necessary play price on delivery. You can also change this when required by altering the mechanism yourself. It is also possible to set this table to free play vend if needed.

Electronic Mechanism – The battery-operated Electronic mechanism is more sophisticated and allows you to set the price of play by merely altering the dip switches on the electronic board inside the table. It also allows customers to use a multi-variation of coins when paying for a game. This type of mechanism offers more options than the mechanical mechanism but does require more maintenance, including battery changes.

This Optima is one of the most durable tables on the market. This sturdy table will last for many years and provides a superb game.

Pool Table Warranty

The Optima coin-operated pool table comes with a 12-month guarantee on manufactured parts. However, this does not include the coin mechanism or the cloth, which are subject to wear and tear. It also doesn’t include the battery pack in electronic tables. Coin-operated models do require maintenance often due to the large number of games played on them. We would always recommend finding a local service person to call if needed. We do not offer services on this table.

Speed Cloth

Woollen pool cloth like the range listed above is the traditional cloth used in the UK. It is found on the majority of pool tables throughout the club and pub industry. However, we can also offer a range of speed cloth options for your table. Speed cloth is generally found on the larger American style tables and is a napless cloth that is very fast due to the extra nylon content. This type of baize offers a quicker game but with less cue ball control.

Speed cloth is the current choice of cloth used on the IPA 8 ball pool tour. The cloth used on in these events in the Simonis 861 Powder blue cloth. As the UK’s primary importer of Simonis cloth, we are pleased to be able to offer this tour cloth with your table if required. You can view an image of this cloth in our main image gallery. We can also offer a large range of other colours in speed cloth so please just let us know if you require this type of cloth.

Is My Room Big Enough?

It is essential to ensure your table will fit into your room space and allow an enjoyable game. A good rule of thumb is to allow a minimum of 4ft clearance all around your table.

We offer two table sizes in this model. We can provide the more popular 7ft x4ft (external cabinet dimensions) model or if you are more restricted on space the 6ft x 3’6 (external cabinet dimensions) table. Please see our below table guide for recommended room sizes.

Recommended Room Space Guide

It is often beneficial to mark out the area where your table is going with four objects to give you a better perspective of the table size. If you are a little short on space, then we can offer a range of smaller cues to use on the tighter shots. We have the following size cues available - 36 inches, 42 inches, 48 inches, 54 inches and 57 inches.

Both the 6ft and 7ft tables are classed as league tables although most leagues prefer to play on a 7ft table if space permits. Both size tables provide an enjoyable game. We wouldn’t recommend squeezing a 7ft table into an area that is too small. It may be helpful to draw a plan of the room and measure it at the nearest points to where your table is intended to stand. Do not measure into bay windows or to the recesses of a fireplace. All large furniture should be outside the measurements.

Finally, if your table has to go upstairs, we will require photos or preferably a video to ensure access is possible. We rarely have a failed install, but if there are any impossible turns or inadequate access, then we can review this and try to offer alternative options for you.

When Will I Get My Table.

Our pool tables are delivered throughout the UK by our own two-man professional fitting teams. This gives us excellent flexibility in delivery and timings.

 We are located close to all the leading manufacturers, which allow us to collect your table the moment it comes off the production line. Many of our competitors are located further afield and will wait for several tables to be ready before making their collection. So for speedy delivery, we have the edge.

Two options are available when it comes to delivery.

Delivery Only

We will deliver your pool table door to door, and to the ground floor room of your choice, free of charge. Tables are delivered by a two-man delivery team and usually come in 3 parts. The legs, slate and cabinet are all separate and do require assembling and levelling. Please bear in mind however that most slate bed pool tables weigh 200kg+ and you would need adequate numbers of people to handle the table safely. Installation would be at your own risk.

Delivery with Installation

We do, however, strongly recommend that you take up the offer of our professional delivery and installation service at the extra cost of £99 Inc. VAT, which includes full installation, table positioning, levelling, after-sales care instruction, and a bonus pack of additional accessories that are worth up to £90. Slate bed pool tables can weigh up to 250 kgs (550lbs) and moving and handling them takes knowledge and expertise. Our two-person team of professional fitters can take away the strain, worry and hard work and leave your table perfect and ready to play.

Basement and Upper floor delivery and installations incur a surcharge. Delivery to more remote areas of the country including Cornwall and the North of Scotland are subject to a delivery surcharge. Please contact us for more details.

Free Delivery - Important

Free delivery is to UK mainland only. An additional surcharge will apply for the postcodes beginning with the following letters. Please contact us for cost before ordering – AB, DD, FK, IV, KW, PA, PH, PL, EX, TR.   Delivery to more remote locations of the country may result in extended delivery lead-times. Please check before ordering.
