The eight-step Plinko exhibit
Game Mechanics and Payouts
Select a stake of one, five, twenty-five, or one hundred virtual coins and drop a single ball. The ball undergoes eight independent binary steps to land in pockets numbered one through nine, with multipliers ranging from 0.4 to 5. Every path is equally likely, but pocket distribution follows binomial probabilities. Gross returns include the original stake and are calculated by multiplying the stake by the pocket multiplier.
Wallet Rules and Settlement
The full stake is deducted immediately upon starting a round and persisted in local storage. A manual balance reset to one thousand coins is available only when the game is idle and the balance falls below one coin. Reloads before settlement forfeit any unfinished returns, and no refund is provided. Fractional values are tracked internally but displayed as whole coins with a remainder.
Technical Details and Privacy
The demo requires no account or sign-in and uses virtual coins with no cash value. Local storage retains wallet data as integer hundredths, while third-party counters may collect additional data. Google Fonts resources are loaded for styling. The exhibit maintains an exact long-run return of 92.96875 percent with a house edge of 7.03125 percent.
Frequently asked questions
Does the demo require an account or payment?
No account or payment is required to access the demo. Virtual coins are used for gameplay and hold no cash value.
How is the balance restored?
A manual reset sets the balance to exactly one thousand coins. This option appears when the balance is below one coin and is enabled only while idle.
What happens if I reload during a drop?
Reloading before settlement forfeits the unfinished return. No refund is provided for the deducted stake.
