PoolDash
PoolDash brings 8-ball pool to TokenXGames as a staked 1v1: break, claim a suit, clear it, and sink the 8 before your opponent does.
How to Play
PoolDash follows standard 8-ball rules. One player breaks the rack, and the table stays open until someone legally pots a ball: whichever suit goes down first — solids or stripes — belongs to that player for the rest of the frame.
From there you keep shooting for as long as you keep potting your own suit. Miss, and the table passes to your opponent. Once every ball in your suit is off the table, the 8 is the only legal target left. Potting it wins the frame; potting it early, or potting it in the same shot as the cue ball, loses it outright.
Modes Available
- Play 1 on 1 — staked matchmaking against another player at the table you have equipped.
- Play with Friends — invite a specific opponent rather than taking whoever matchmaking finds.
- Practice Offline — the same table and the same rules with nothing staked, for learning the shot power and spin controls.
Tables & Stakes
The table you equip is not just a skin — it sets the ceiling on what you are allowed to stake. Belmont tops out at 500 chips, Blackhawk at 1,000, and Golden Dragon at 10,000. Golden Dragon stays locked until you own it, so the room you can play in grows with what you have won.
The Select Bet dialog scales its slider to the equipped table's ceiling rather than to your whole balance, which keeps ordinary stakes usable even on a large wallet. Your balance is still the hard limit: if it sits below the table's maximum, the balance is what caps the bet.
Both players put up the same stake and the winner takes the pot. Bonuses on the right-hand panel — first win of the day, potting streaks, clearing a table without a miss — pay out separately from match winnings.
Staking & Payout
Online and friend matches use a chip stake chosen before the match starts. Betting rules, withdrawal terms, and how disputes are handled are the same across every TokenXGames game — see the Rules page for the full betting, dispute, and withdrawal terms rather than duplicating them here.
Getting Started
- Open TokenXGames in Telegram and sign in with your Telegram account.
- Open PoolDash from the games list.
- Pick a table from the right-hand panel — each one sets its own maximum stake.

- Set your stake on the Select Bet dialog and confirm to enter matchmaking.
If you have not played 8-ball before, run a few offline frames first — the power meter and the spin control are what decide whether the cue ball ends up where you wanted it, and that is easier to learn without chips on the line.
Strategy Tips
Think about where the cue ball stops, not just whether the shot drops. A potted ball that leaves the cue ball snookered behind your opponent's suit hands them the table anyway — position is what turns one pot into a run.
Before you commit to a suit on the break, look at which set is actually open. The first ball you pot decides your suit for the whole frame, so potting into a cluster you cannot clear is worse than leaving the table open for one more shot.
Keep one easy ball in your suit in reserve rather than clearing the simplest shots first. Coming down to the 8 with only awkward angles left is the usual way a won frame gets given back.
Match the table to the stake you actually want to play, not the one you can afford. Equipping Golden Dragon raises the ceiling to 10,000 chips, and a slider that spans that range makes it easy to put down far more than you meant to.
