Plinko is a casino game based on a Plinko board with 16 rows of pegs. I've seen it at a few Cryptocurrency casinos. Please click the link for all the rules and analysis. As always, I welcome all questions, comments, and corrections.



The question for the poll is would you play Plinko?

Plinko is awesome!!

A couple suggested edits:
Rule 1— reorder colors to match graphic: green, red, blue, or yellow
Rule 3 — fix typo: At each row, the ball will hit…

I was confused by the graphic because it looks as if the bet made was 10, but the pay table in the chart has the same pays, so in the graphic, was the bet 1 unit? (i.e. the most that can be won is 650 units for 1?)

Does the pay table in the actual game change based on the units wagered, or does it remain static to show the payout ratio?

It took a google search for me to figure out who Diane, Holly, and Janice are, as mentioned in the poll. I never enjoyed The Price Is Right.

The way it works is a "credit" costs 0.000001 BTC (about $0.01) and the minimum bet is 10 credits. Why they require this step of buying credits, I have no idea. They don't do it in other games at this casino.

It's static.

Where were you in the late 70's? Debates among adolescent males about who was the most attractive Beauty were almost as common as those about Charlie's Angels.

No love for Anitra? She was even in The Longest Yard. Okay, to be fair, she had left the show before Plinko debuted.

Also, pardon me for being in pedantic mode today, but it's Dian, not Diane.

Wiz,

I saw a couple of typos:

"Such boards are also a good way to illustration to Gaussian curve at science museums." Change "illustration to" to "illustrate a".

"the casino will provide the hash of it's own seed": should be "its".

I recall a 4th one who looked even better. Maybe she was in the show later years
