How to play Plinko
Choose your rows
Pick 8 to 16 rows. Each board has its own slot table, shown before you drop.
Choose your risk
Low, medium or high. Higher risk makes the edge slots bigger and the middle ones smaller.
Drop the ball
Each peg sends it left or right, 50/50. The slot it lands in is your multiplier.
New to it? Practice mode uses free chips, not Diamonds, with the same odds and tables.

Every board returns 90% of stakes over the long run (house edge 10%); rows and risk change only the spread. The outer slots pay more than your stake. Most balls land near the middle, where the slots give back part of it.
Limits
One round can pay at most 250,000 Diamonds, and no multiplier goes past 1,000x. Members can stake up to 5,000 Diamonds a round, and a VIP pass raises that. Your daily loss limit covers every game.
How to verify a Plinko result
The ball takes one number per row: below 0.5 it goes left, otherwise right. The slot is the number of rights, from 0 to the number of rows. The numbers come from your seeds: f = the first 52 bits of HMAC-SHA256(server seed, “client seed:nonce”) ÷ 2^52, and each extra number adds “:1”, “:2” and so on to the message.
Before you bet
You see the SHA-256 hash of your server seed, which fixes it. Set your own client seed whenever you like.
Reveal the seed
Rotate your seed pair on the Fairness page. The old server seed is revealed and a new pair starts.
Recompute
Check that the seed hashes to what you saw, then paste it into the game’s verify panel, or any HMAC-SHA256 tool, to get the same result.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best Plinko settings?
None pays better than another: every board returns 90% over time. More risk means bigger edge slots and smaller middle ones.
What is the most Plinko can pay?
1,000x, from an edge slot on the riskiest boards, up to the max win of 250,000 Diamonds.
Why do most balls land in the middle?
Every peg is a 50/50 bounce, so paths that mix lefts and rights are far more common than all-left or all-right ones. That’s why the edge slots pay the most.
Can I practise Plinko for free?
Yes. Practice mode uses free chips, not Diamonds, with the same boards and odds.
