Plinko

Plinko turns a falling ball into a bet: it drops through a triangle of pegs and lands in a payout slot, with the biggest multipliers at the far edges.

How it works

You choose a risk level (low, medium or high) and the number of rows of pegs. The ball’s path is random at each peg, so where it lands — and your multiplier — is chance. High risk and more rows push the extreme multipliers higher at the edges but make the middle (low or sub-1x) slots far more common; low risk narrows the outcomes toward small, frequent results.

The edge — risk shapes variance, not value

Crucially, changing the risk level changes your variance, not the house edge. “Low risk” doesn’t mean “better odds” — it means tighter, smaller outcomes around a slightly-below-even average. The built-in edge is the same across settings, so there’s no risk-level trick that turns Plinko profitable.

Provably fair

Crypto Plinko is usually provably fair — each drop’s path is determined by a verifiable server seed / client seed / nonce combination you can check afterwards.

Where to play

Plinko features in the Originals suites at Stake, Cloudbet and Gamdom — see the best provably-fair casinos. It’s hypnotic and fast, which makes a strict loss limit especially important.
