Minigames are one of the many features of 8 Ball Pool which are used to accumulate pool coins, cues from Surprise boxes, scratch cards, and free spins. They include Spin and Win, Scratch and Win, and previously Hi-Lo before it was replaced with Lucky Shot. Premium minigames include Golden Spin and Golden Shot, which give bigger prizes.

Entry fees varied; for the jackpot of two-hundred-and-fifty thousand pool coins, players had to pay two pool cash - for the jackpot of fifty thousand, players had to pay four pool cash and for the grand jackpot of one million pool coins, players had to pay eight pool cash. The player could obtain the "All Mine!" achievement for the Hi-Lo game which was achieved when players cashed out immediately after getting a correct guess, the "Close Call" achievement for losing on the final call on Hi-Lo and the "Dry run" achievement for completely failing in Hi-Lo and the "Run to the top" achievement for winning the top prize.
