Plinko

Game design and payouts

Plinko is an instant-play ball-drop game developed by BGaming and released in 2019. Inspired by a classic pegboard with multipliers, the game sends a ball down the board, with the final slot determining the prize. It has no traditional reels or paylines and lets players adjust volatility to their preference.
