Kalkomat Speed Ball

A low-profile ball hockey table. Twenty-six inches tall. The ball stays at waist height across the full playing surface.

Overview

The Speedball is a coin-operated hockey table from IGPM Group, built for commercial amusement venues. At 26 inches tall with a 68-by-39-inch playing surface, it sits lower than standard upright tables, making it accessible to a wide range of players. The cabinet is available in two configurations: Standard Speedball and Black and White Speedball.

Key Features

Low-Profile Playing Surface

The cabinet stands 26 inches tall, placing the playing surface at a height accessible to both adults and younger players. The 68-by-39-inch table area provides a full-size air hockey experience within the compact cabinet envelope.

Stereo Sound System

The Speedball includes an onboard stereo sound system. Audio output from both channels fills the area around the table, distinguishing active game play from surrounding ambient noise on a busy venue floor.

Two Cabinet Configurations

The Speedball ships in two distinct cabinet styles: Standard Speedball and Black and White Speedball. Operators can select the finish that best matches their venue's existing décor or floor layout.

Coin-Operated Mechanism

The unit is built around a standard coin-op mechanism, enabling direct revenue collection per play. A removable cashbox is housed within the cabinet for routine cash collection during route service visits.

How It Plays

Two players face each other across the full 68-inch playing surface, each controlling a striker to deflect the puck into the opposing goal. The low 26-inch table height means the action unfolds at waist level, keeping the puck and both players' movements visible to anyone standing near the machine. Play resets quickly between rounds, with the coin mechanism gating each new game.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Compact Footprint for Tight Floors

At 68 by 39 inches and only 26 inches tall, the Speedball occupies a clearly defined floor rectangle. The low profile keeps the unit below sightlines that taller cabinets interrupt, making it easier to position in mixed-equipment game rooms without disrupting traffic flow.

Two-Player Format Doubles Per-Game Revenue

Air hockey is inherently a head-to-head format — two players pay per game rather than one. The coin mechanism on the Speedball gates each session, so both players' credits are collected before play begins.

Fast Cycle, Immediate Reset

Air hockey plays on short timed rounds with no consumables, no ticket payout configuration, and no mechanical reset sequence between games. Once a round ends, the next players can insert coins and start immediately — no operator intervention required between plays.

Finish Options Match Existing Venue Décor

The choice between Standard and Black and White cabinet finishes lets operators match the unit to an existing floor layout. Selecting the right finish at purchase avoids a later cosmetic mismatch without requiring any modification to the mechanical or electrical components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the assembled dimensions of the Speedball?

The Speedball measures 68 inches long by 39 inches wide by 26 inches tall when assembled. It weighs 529 lbs, so freight delivery with lift-gate service is recommended for most installations.

How many players does the Speedball support?

The Speedball is a two-player head-to-head air hockey table. One player occupies each end of the 68-inch playing surface for a standard face-to-face match.

What cabinet options are available for the Speedball?

The Speedball is offered in two finishes: Standard Speedball and Black and White Speedball. Both share the same playing surface dimensions and mechanical configuration — the difference is cosmetic, allowing operators to choose the finish that best suits their venue.

Is the Speedball coin-operated?

Yes. The Speedball includes a standard coin-op mechanism and removable cashbox. It is designed for commercial placement in arcades, family entertainment centers, and other coin-operated amusement venues.

Ideal Placement

The Speedball fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, pizzerias, and trampoline parks where a low-profile two-player table fills floor space accessible to mixed-age groups. Its 39-inch width fits standard game room slot configurations, and the 26-inch table height suits venues that serve younger players alongside adults. Bar and tavern game rooms with limited floor depth also accommodate the unit's 68-inch length without requiring a dedicated alcove.
