About This Machine
The Legionnaire, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in July 1941, is a single-player, flipperless electro-mechanical machine with a military theme. Only 1,100 units were produced.
Gameplay centers on the machine's 16 bumpers, playable for five cents. As a flipperless, pre-war design, Legionnaire relies on ball placement and bumper scoring rather than flipper control, typical of EM machines from this period.
The cabinet artwork reflects the machine's military theme, though little is documented about its specific designer or artist. With a confirmed production run of just 1,100 units, Legionnaire is a relatively scarce example of Chicago Coin's early-1940s output.
