Pool

Eight-ball pool played in bars across San Andreas, where CJ challenges a cue-holding local and bets between $50 and $1,000 on the result.

Several Locations

Overview

Pool is an eight-ball minigame in GTA San Andreas. CJ can challenge anyone standing by a pool table with a cue in hand and bet between $50 and $1,000 on the result. A second player can also join on a second controller, but no money can be bet then.

Locations

  • Ten Green Bottles on Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos
  • Misty's in Garcia, San Fierro
  • Lil' Probe'Inn in Bone County
  • The casino floor and The Craw Bar in Las Venturas

Rules

  1. CJ always breaks.
  2. The first player to pot a ball takes that set, stripes or solids.
  3. Potting the wrong ball, potting the cue ball, missing every ball, hitting the wrong set first, or a shot where no ball reaches a cushion is a foul. The opponent may then place the cue ball anywhere.
  4. Clear all of your balls, then pot the black 8-ball to win.
  5. Potting the 8-ball too early, or potting it together with the cue ball, loses the game.

Tips

  • Win and CJ keeps the bet; lose or quit and he loses it. If he loses, killing the opponent gets the money back.

Rewards and unlocks

Whatever the result, CJ walks away with a pool cue in place of his melee weapon. Pool is not required for 100% completion.

Notes

If CJ loses, he can kill his opponent to get his wager back.
