In order to keep you better informed about what we’re doing with 8 Ball Pool, we’re going to be giving you regular updates on what we are working on and what’s coming soon. They are going to be published every month, or even more frequently if we’ve got lots of news!
In this, update number one, we are going to tell you what’s been going on behind the scenes at Miniclip HQ: read on!
Introducing the Daily Spin
The new Daily Spin, soon to be introduced to 8 Ball Pool! The design is subject to change 
We’ll kick off with the next big feature we’re going to be bringing to Pool: we’re going to be replacing the Daily Bonus with the “Daily Spin”.
As you can see from this draft design of the Daily Spin, instead of getting a standard 125 Pool Coins every day, you’ll get a spin of the wheel and have the chance to win a huge range of prizes, ranging from Pool Coins to power-ups to the “Lucky 8 Cue”, which will be exclusive to the Daily Spin.
And — don’t worry — you’ll always walk away from the Daily Spin with something
Everyone is going to get one free spin per day, but you’ll also be able to purchase additional spins from the Pool Shop.
We’re hoping the Daily Spin is going to mix things up a bit and add a bit of fun to the game. You can expect to see it coming to 8 Ball Pool in around the next month or so.
Offline mode coming to mobile
You’ll be able to play Pool literally anywhere with the new offline mode.
One of the most — if not the most requested features for 8 Ball Pool on iOS and Android is the ability to play offline — both in single-player mode and with two people sharing one device.
We’ve listened to your feedback, and now I’m very pleased to be able to announce both of these features are coming to the iOS and Android versions of 8 Ball Pool.
The offline “Quick Fire” single player mode will let you play solo in a similar style to 8 Ball Quick Fire Pool, allowing you to play Pool wherever you’ve got an iOS or Android device. This will be available as an in-app purchase for a small fee.
The “Pass ‘n’ Play” offline two-player mode will let you play against a friend, on the same device. As this is an extension of the multiplayer game, this game-mode will be available as a free update to 8 Ball Pool.
Offline mode is going to be the next big feature we release to 8 Ball Pool on mobile, so you should expect to see this available in a couple of weeks.
Additional updates
The Cairo Kasbah tournament will shortly be available on mobile!
The Daily Spin and offline mode are the next two big features you will notice when you’re playing Pool, but there are lots of other tweaks we’re introducing to the game which will improve your Pool experience that are worth mentioning:
- The Cairo Kasbah tournament which is currently only available on the web, will be available on mobile shortly.
- The friends-matching on mobile is undergoing serious improvements, allowing for a significantly better experience when playing with friends on mobile.
- We’ll be looking at the results of the survey we ran recently and taking your comments into account when considering what changes, if any, to make to the guidelines in Pool on the web. Currently, no changes are imminent.
- We’re looking into how playing friends for Pool Coins can be introduced in a way which ensures players are not able to take advantage of the system.
Keep updated!
This concludes our first 8 Ball Pool Community Update. We, of course, would love to hear your feedback on the new features, so let us know what you think in the comments below.
