I think that in the case of coin operated pool tables, the cue ball

Does this mean that each of the pool table holes only allows the
smaller balls to fit through and the larger cue ball can never sink into
a hole??
If so how much larger must be the cue ball so it can be easily
retrieved after a scratch?
