We all know how hard it is to get a game on orig sometimes. At night theres barely anybody on, maybe a short list of games during the day.
Many people start out as guests, right? So why not give guests the option of only playing original snooker? This means that immediately on starting they are familiar with the game type. This should make the game more popular. Of course another way to make this game more popular is to make original snooker the default game type.
Sorry if these ideas have already been posted, i have a feeling the second one has.

Thoughts on these?

Nah don't like it, the whole point of guests is to get people interested in the site with a view to signing up, i wouldn't give this site much of a notice if i was starting out and could only play orig, arcade snooker is the main attraction for the reason that it is fun and easy (which is most important if your just starting out) to play

I also agree that arcade snooker is a better choice as default game type, if one must be chosen. This is because arcade actually is more popular than original, therefore it statistically increases the chances to have a guest liking the game and registering.

But I still think that we should make the two "Open Game" links open the right game, and not both arcade. Currently a guest could just not notice that there are 2 games, as the same game opens whatever (s)he clicks.
