Probably about the same. Resistance on a smooth billiard ball is pretty low even in our thick atmosphere, and most of the energy exchange is based on the mass of the balls hitting each other, though lower gravity might allow for more bounces off the table.
I'll get to your story when I can. I'm a hopeful writer, myself, sci-fi mainly. No fiction published, yet, but I've written a few articles for the Lunar Reclamation Society's newsletter.
