About This Machine
The Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company's January 1956 Hooligan Pool is a cue game, not a pinball machine, from a company that produced coin-operated amusements from 1932 to 1977.
Gameplay is intentionally minimal: the playfield has only three holes and one post, and the game supports 2 or 4 players, allowing for head-to-head or team competition using a cue rather than flippers.
Little is documented about Hooligan Pool's specific design or artwork, and its designer remains unknown. As a stripped-down cue game rather than a true pinball machine, it represents a lesser-known corner of Chicago Coin's mid-1950s output.
