Lucky

Lucky, produced by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in 1939, is a flipperless, single-player payout-style electro-mechanical pinball machine with an auto-racing theme. With only 183 confirmed units produced (model 71), it is a genuinely scarce machine, making it significant for collectors and historians studying Chicago Coin's early output.

Lucky features 13 scoring bumpers, which were a staple in early EM machines, allowing players to accumulate points through direct contact with various elements on the playfield. Its auto-racing theme may have been an attempt to capitalize on the growing popularity of motorsports during this period.

While specific details about Lucky's designer are not available, and IPDB notes uncertainty about how this Model 71 differs from the related 'Lucky' Model 72, its low confirmed production number makes it a notable and genuinely rare example of late-1930s Chicago Coin craftsmanship.
