Drop the ball through pegs and land on a high-scoring slot.
A field of pegs sits above 9 slots. Each slot is worth points — the slots at the very edges pay the most (10), the center pays nothing (0).
Tap anywhere along the top to drop the ball from that horizontal position. The ball bounces off pegs unpredictably and finally lands in one slot — that slot's points are added to your score.
You get 10 drops per game.
Goal: highest total score across the 10 drops.
Plinko looks like pure luck, but the slot payouts reward aiming for the edges. The two outermost slots pay the most while the centre pays nothing, so dropping from the far left or far right gives a ball the best chance of drifting into a high-value pocket. Resist the instinct to drop down the middle where the big numbers feel "safe" — that is exactly where the zero sits.
Each peg only nudges the ball a little, so a ball released near a wall tends to hug that side rather than wandering all the way across. Over ten drops the bounces average out, meaning a consistent edge strategy beats scattering your drops randomly across the top. Pick a side, watch how the pegs deflect the first few balls, and keep feeding the outer columns where the payoff is highest.
