How does a coin-op pool table really work?
What's the center of a coin-op pool ball?
How does the table know to sort the cue ball to a different place than the object balls?

Premeiring on the History Channel 4/22/2010:

A new show called Sliced.

Coin operated games have been around for nearly 50 years. Since the beginning, players found tricks to beating the odds and keeping their quarters. Manufacturers have countered with special features to stop cheating. Host John McCalmont dissects a pinball machine, a slot machine and a pool table to determine is it's still possible to cheat games--or if the cheat is always on you.

From the trailer, looks like they're going to take apart a magnetic cue ball bar table. I wonder if they know about the Diamond Smart Tables? That would be more interesting.
 
I hope they post stills online all the bar box haters could have avatar material for years LOL
