Snooker King · Snooker King: Complete Operator Manual
Countdown games in Snooker King let customers pay for a fixed block of play instead of open-ended time. The table timer counts down from the purchased time and shows TIME UP! when it reaches zero. You can start a countdown from a ready-made package (for example "1 Hour Snooker"), from an amount the customer wants to spend, or from a length of time the customer asks for. It is used by centres that sell prepaid hours, promotions or self-service play.

|---|---|
| Packages | The customer buys a ready-made package. Click the package to select it. Only active packages offered on this table are listed. |
| By Budget | The customer names an amount, for example RM 20. Enter it under Enter Budget Amount and Snooker King works out the playing time at the current table rate. |
| By Duration | The customer names a length of time. Enter the hours and minutes under Enter Duration and Snooker King works out the price at the current table rate. |
If a package includes free items, Add Package reads Choose N More until you pick the included items.
If your centre never sells play by amount, you can remove the By Budget tab so staff cannot pick it by mistake. Go to Centers, edit the centre and untick Offer the By Budget Option When Starting a Count-Down Table. Packages and By Duration are not affected, and any budget game already running carries on.
When the countdown reaches zero the tile shows TIME UP!.
Centres that use RFID cards or scanners can start tables quickly: scan the member's card at Scan To Start, Select Package, then press Start Table. Card scanning must be enabled under Settings > System > Hardware Peripherals.
The tile shows TIME UP! and a Light Off link. Staff then either add more time with Package or end the game and take payment.
