About This Machine
Lucky, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in September 1939, is a flipperless electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine with an auto-racing theme, released as Model 72 with a confirmed production run of 1,826 units.
Lucky's gameplay centers on 13 spring bumpers, a substantial number for the era, suggesting bumper-driven action was central to the game's design. The auto racing theme reflects the popularity of motorsports in American culture during the late 1930s.
Little is known about the machine's designer or specific artwork. IPDB notes that Chicago Coin also released a related Model 71 version of Lucky, though the exact differences between the two models are not documented.
