the center hole is for the players last ball, if a player pots a ball in the center hole, before the last ball, they either lose their turn or lose the game.

According to the rules I was taught to play by, the last ball must be banked into the center hole. Putting a ball in the center hole earlier in the game is the same as sinking the 8 ball in regulation pool. You lose.

How common is it to have a third hole in the center? I seem to recall this from a YMCA table in the early 60s, that was probably manufactured in the 1950s... but I've not seen a bumper pool table since then.
