Rola Score

Rola Score, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in September 1936 (Model 25), is an early example of an electro-mechanical single-player pinball machine, with 1,001 confirmed units produced.

Specific gameplay features and design details for Rola Score are not well documented, limiting what can be said about its rules or playfield layout. Its 1936 release places it among the earlier EM machines from Chicago Coin, a company that remained active in coin-operated amusements for decades (1932-1977).

Due to limited surviving records, much about the Rola Score's design, theme, and notable features remains uncertain, making each documented detail valuable to collectors and historians researching this period of pinball's development.
