Plinko
Stake OriginalsStake Plinko is the original and provably-fair version of Plinko, developed in-house and playable only at Stake.com!
Our Plinko is built around a pin-pyramid drop mechanic where every ball can land a multiplier payout, with 4 risk levels available. Thanks to a 10,000x max win, a 1% house edge and a 99% RTP, Stake Plinko goes further than most Plinko games.
What is Stake Plinko? - The original online Plinko game
Stake Plinko was inspired by the Japanese Pachinko arcade game and the Plinko board from the TV game show "The Price is Right".
Stake’s Plinko is the original, built on a provably-fair system that remains one of the most popular casino-style games at Stake — and its 10,000x ceiling sets it apart from other Plinko games online.
How does Plinko work?
Stake Plinko is played by dropping a ball into a pin pyramid, which then bounces into a multiplier pot. The centre pots offer the lowest payouts, with the higher wins sitting on the edge of the board.
There are 2 settings you can adjust that control how the game behaves. The Risk Level can be set to Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert, with higher settings increasing the game’s volatility. It does this by widening the edge multipliers and narrowing the middle pots.
Rows is another setting available, and you can choose between 8 and 16 for each round. The more rows you have, the wider the spread of your potential payouts will be. Adjusting both settings together creates the largest changes and can greatly affect your volatility and payout potential.

Is Stake Plinko provably fair?
As a Stake Original, our Plinko uses provably fair technology so every result can be verified by you. Each ball drop is generated using a combination of a server seed and a client seed. This gives you the ability to confirm that the outcomes were determined without any outside tampering or influences.
When playing this Plinko game online, a Randomised Number Generator (RNG) is used to determine the outcome of each round. This game has a house edge of 1% and a return-to-player rate of 99%. The provably fair system and RNG provide transparency as all game results can be verified.

Stake Plinko strategy and tips
Plinko is a game of chance, but there are a few smart strategies that can help you manage your gameplay.
Adjust your Risk Level and Rows - These settings work together, and by increasing them at the same time, you create the most meaningful change. These changes can affect the volatility and payout potential, so be sure to start slowly as a beginner.
Expert mode is a different experience - Compared to Hard mode, Expert mode requires different strategies as the 0.1x minimum multiplier means that there are more frequent losses. However, you also have access to the highest possible payout of 10,000x.
Use Autobet with a planned stopping point - You should decide on how many balls you want to play before starting, rather than during your session. Make your decision early and stick to it.
