Coins are easier. most people have random change in their pocket, but some people might not play pool if they had to take their change and put it on a card. Or if you mean credit/debit cards, many people do not use or carry their cards.

It more expensive to install a card reader than coin operating machine plus a card reader would need to drain electricity which would make the table abit strange to have wire sticking out. And also the card itself would be additional cost

you want to use your credit card to pay for a .75 cent game? That doesn't make sense, but if you think they should change it write a letter to a major company with the idea. They might take you up on it

i doubt your average pool hall customer has the ability to use a card reader or even owns a debit card

The reason they haven't changed is that they make money the way they are. If something is not broken, you don't strive to make it better. They make a lot of money the way they were designed! Take care, and good question!

Because most of the ones you see are the ones made years ago.

Easier sure...but much more cost prohibitive to the manufacturer's.
