New: Banking Shot option

There's a new (non-default) Banking Shot pool game option for 8-Ball & 9-Ball.
Tables with banking option on are denoted with B in table listings. The table window caption also has 'Banking' in it.
With Banking option on:
- the last (winning) shot of the game has to be a 'banking' shot. This means that the last ball (8th or 9th) does NOT go straight -- it has to be pocketed off the rail. If the ball is pocketed directly into an indicated pocket (not via a banking shot), the opponent gets 'ball-in-hand'.
- In the 9-ball game with Banking option, the 9-th ball can only be pocketed as the very last ball via a Banking Shot
The rest of the rules are the same.

WELL DONE! BRAVO!

WEB, you never cease to amaze me! This new Option, is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
I have had the pleasure to play several games today with the NEW OPTION, with serveral different PLAYERS.
Thank You So Much!
This is what makes GAME COLONY, far SURPERIOR to any / all Net Gaming Sites.
No Other Site would ever Consider New and Different Options for games, especially not based off of suggestions from Players!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
