Overview

The Black Beauty by Great American Recreation is a commercial pool table built for high-traffic arcade and billiard room environments.

Key Features

Professional Cabinet Construction

Solid cabinet grade 3/4" plywood construction on sides and bottom with superior poplar wood top frame and rails for optimal cushion play action. Dome shake-proof washers on railbolts, corners and slate reduce maintenance requirements.

Imported One-Piece Slate

Each table features the finest imported one-piece slate with dual steel center supports for a reliable flat playing surface. Rails and slate are covered with 21 oz. unbacked cloth that promotes faster play and longer durability.

Anti-Cheat Technology

Reliable anti-cheat dump bar system eliminates free play attempts and reduces service calls. The magnetic cue ball separator operates with 2 1/4" or 2 3/8" cue balls with 15th cue ball lock-up for proper game flow.

Service-Friendly Design

Modular coin box housing designed for simple service access. Hinged and locked hatch under table provides leg storage and cleanout access. Double rollers on ball release provide smoother action and reduced wear compared to single roller systems.

Premium Ball Return System

Unitized composite trouble-free ball return assembly with premium lexan ball viewer featuring retaining screws and frame to reduce breakage risk. Fast and reliable ball return keeps games moving smoothly.

Coin Mechanism

Vertical 5 coin mechanism adjusts in moments on location, complemented by a deep large cash box for extended collection intervals. Factory set for standard play operation.

How It Plays

Players insert coins to release the pool balls for standard 8-ball or 9-ball games. The magnetic cue ball separator automatically sorts the cue ball from object balls, returning it separately for continuous play while keeping the numbered balls locked until the next game starts.
