QuePay M-Pesa pool tables are changing how Kenyans enjoy their favourite game, letting players pay with mobile money right at the table to unlock balls without fumbling for coins. This clever device from Veno Autobotics hooks straight into pool setups, handling quick transactions and even letting you buy multiple rounds upfront, making late-night sessions smoother than ever.
Players no longer deal with jammed coin slots or lost change. Instead, players simply pull out their phone, input a paybill number, and witness the magic unfold. A short video making the rounds online shows it in action – a guy sends 20 shillings via M-Pesa for two games at 10 bob each, and seconds later, the device beeps, showing credits on its screen.
Push a button, and out roll the balls, ready for action. There is no need to wait for an attendant or search through pockets. It’s that easy, and owners love it because payments go straight to their accounts without handling cash.
Viktor Boit, the brains behind QuePay, shared the clip yesterday on X, explaining how his invention cuts out theft risks and keeps things running smoothly. “Order or make enquiries now: 0705 876339,” he posted, tagging the app’s handle.
The video’s racked up thousands of views already, with people tagging friends and joking about upgrading their local spots. One commenter said it best: “No more arguing over who has coins – just M-Pesa and play!” Others pointed out how it helps in busy joints where lines form just to start a game.
Boit started Veno Autobotics to tackle everyday hassles like this. Their website lays it out clearly – the device mounts on any standard table, integrates with M-Pesa for direct payments, and even tracks sales through a mobile app.
Owners check earnings remotely, see how many games got played, and rest easy knowing no one’s breaking in for loose change. It also takes card taps for those without cash apps, widening the net. Prices start around 80,000 shillings for full setups, with easy payment plans like depositing 26,650 and then monthly bits over a year. Countrywide delivery means even spots in Nakuru or Eldoret can get hooked up quick.
Imagine showing up, scanning a code or entering details, and jumping straight into breaks and banks. For multiple games, just bump the amount – 50 shillings gets five rounds, no interruptions.
Owners of bana.co.ke talked to see real wins. One in Nairobi’s Eastlands said theft dropped to zero since switching, and takings went up because players buy more without hunting for change. “It’s like the table runs itself,” he laughed over the phone.
Kids and young crowds dig it too – no more begging parents for coins; just Mom sending via phone from home. But some old-timers miss the clink of metal, calling it part of the charm. Still, most agree convenience wins out in busy times.
Boit’s team keeps adding features. Their app lets bosses monitor from afar – check if the table’s busy, see peak hours, or spot issues early. It even handles stock for nearby snacks or drinks if hooked up right.
Contact them and they’ll walk you through installs. Similar gadgets from spots like KopoSoko or Pool Table Kenya offer cashless options too, but QuePay stands out for its app tie-in and easy M-Pesa flow.
Social clips on TikTok and Instagram show setups in action, from dusty corner joints to flashy urban halls. One reel from Smart Pool Tables in Nairobi demonstrates the beep and release, getting comments like “This is genius – take my money!” Another from Embu highlights how it cuts fights over payments. With over 30,000 tables nationwide, if even half switch, it’s a massive shift for the game.
Boit dreams bigger. “We’re building for vending machines, arcades – anywhere coins slow things down,” he tweeted. For now, pool fans celebrate the upgrade. No more “sorry, no change” excuses – just pay, play, and pocket those wins.
This innovation hits at a time when cashless is king in Kenya. M-Pesa turned phones into wallets years back, and now it unlocks fun too. Pool lovers, grab your cues – the game’s just got easier. As word spreads, more halls line up for installs. Boit’s device might just cue a revolution in how we play.
