    description
    A broad category of playfield holes found on pre-[[gameplay-feature:flippers]] pinball machines of the 1930s and 1940s, where the ball drops through a hole in the playfield surface rather than being deflected or captured above it. The most common subtype is the [[gameplay-feature:free-play-holes]], which returns the ball to the shooter lane without counting against the player's ball allotment. Play holes frequently appeared alongside [[gameplay-feature:trap-holes]] on the same playfield — IPDB records over 60 machines featuring both — creating a risk-reward landscape where some holes ended the ball and others rewarded the player with another shot.
