As the sibling comments mentioned, while snooker is also played on the English billiards table, it is a different game. Snooker is played with 21 colored balls which must be pocketed in the correct order. Billiards is played with 3 balls, 1 white per player (one has a black dot and the other doesn't) and a red ball. Billiards table is bigger than the American Pool tables.
