Get The Drop On Big Wins With Plinko By BGaming

Some of the world’s earliest games of chance were based on “letting the chips fall where they may”. This has resulted in a number of vintage games where holes or pegs have been used in concert with balls and coins to test one’s luck.

BGaming takes us back to this simpler time with their lucky ball drop game Plinko. This simple yet entertaining game will be hit with players who enjoy Pachinko as well as those who just want a break from the frenetic entertainment of high-end video slots.

More Details Pachinko Inspired Design!

BGaming’s Plinko machines take their lead from the game developed by Frank Wayne, executive producer for the hit TV game show, The Price Is Right! His game was simple, players would drop balls onto a game board dotted with pegs and they would slalom their way down towards slots which contained rates.

If this sounds somewhat familiar it is because it was simply a syndicated version of classic handmade board-games like Billard Japonais (Japanese billiards) and early Pachinko machines. These all entertained children, and adults looking to place a wager, by way of a board with pins in it which would be used to channel the metal balls dropped into them towards cups or slots.

Plinko, named after the sound the fuchsia balls make as they hit the pegs, is a digital version of these games! The game screen is a calming blue with a subtle fern-like pattern that holds from 8-16 rows of pegs.

Below this, you will find the return on your wager and the game's controls. While to the left of the pegs you will find a table displaying your Bets, Losses and Profits.

VIP Low Skill, High Reward

Plinko is a lightning fast, super simple, game of chance. You get to set your stake per game from as little as €1.00 up to €100.00. It is important to keep in mind that each ball is a considered a new game.

To easily keep track of your wins and losses per ball the table to the left keep a running scorecard of the last 16 balls lists:

The time the game was played
The amount staked
The return multiplier applied to you stake
Your profit or loss

If you don’t want to click for each individual ball to be played, there is a launch delay so it can get tedious, the Auto bet feature will play from 2-1000 games for you.

✓Line Bets

In addition to setting you stake per ball Plinko allows you to set the number of peg lines in the game from 8 up to 16. The higher the number of lines the wider the base of the pyramid becomes, the wider the pyramid the higher the potential return to player.

On an 8 line game there are 9 prize slots with the greatest return of 5.6x your stake available at the outer edges and the smallest return, 0.5x stake, sitting in the center. While setting the game to the maximum of 16 lines offers seventeen potential win slots with a max return of 16x and a minimum return of 0.5x your stake.

✓Risk Levels

Once you’re comfortable with your stake per ball and have set the number of lines you’d like to play with there is the option to set your Risk Level. The game defaults to low which offers the returns used above, however if you’re feeling lucky you can up this to either Normal or even High

Here are the Risk versus Reward options based on a 16 line game:

Low Risk = 16x, 9x, 2x, 1.4x, 1.2x, 1.1x, 1x, 0.5x
Normal = 110x, 41x, 10x, 5x, 3x, 1.5x, 1x, 0.5x, 0.3x
High Risk= 1000x, 130x, 26x, 9x, 4x, 2x, 0.2x

A high-end return at max bet could result in €100,000 payout on a single ball, a fantastic return for such a simple game, especially given the house edge is only 1%!
