Hi Vorpar.
Thank you very much for your explanation.
Longman dictionary indicates that snooker is mostly played in England.
As for Billiard, this game has also pockets at the edge of the table. (http://www.ldoceonline.com/dict

Thank you very much Vorpar.
Thank you very much Siavash. So you say that there is no difference in the game itself. I wonder why dictionaries do not classify them as synonyms.
