Plinko

How to play

Gameplay

Plinko. A ball drops from the top, bounces off a lattice of pegs that send it left or right at each collision, and finally lands in one of the slots along the bottom. Every bounce is roughly a coin flip, so the landing distribution follows a bell curve — the centre slots are the most likely but pay the least, while the rare edge slots pay the most. That trade-off is the whole game.

Controls

Move the drop position left and right or drag the aim line, then press drop to release the ball; gravity and peg density are adjustable in some versions. Scores accumulate in the header and a histogram marks where your shots have landed so far.

FAQ

How is the score calculated in Plinko?

Each ball you drop scores the multiplier of the slot it lands in - 0.2x at the edges, up to 10x in the center slot. Your displayed total is the sum of every ball's multiplier.

Can I aim the launcher?

Not directly - the launcher swings left and right on its own (about 20 degrees each way), so the ball's direction depends on when you click. Timing your drop is the whole game.
