Plinko is an instant game in which a ball falls through rows of pins and lands in a pocket that sets your multiplier. Anyone searching for mr vegas plinko usually wants to know how it plays and what the figures mean before looking for it. This page covers the rules, the version made by Spribe and what to check at Mr Vegas.
The provider's version and how it is presented
The version covered here comes from Spribe. It is usually presented as a simple board of pins with a row of multiplier pockets at the bottom and a single control to drop the ball. There are no reels, paylines or cards, and a round is over in seconds.
Many studios release their own Plinko-style games, and the board layout, RTP and top multiplier can differ between them. If you look for it at Mr Vegas, search for the exact title and check the provider shown in the game before you bet. A similarly named game from another studio is a different product.
How a round works
In short: A ball drops through rows of pins and lands in a multiplier pocket. You choose a stake, drop the ball and the pocket it lands in decides the multiplier applied to that stake. Pockets near the centre are reached more often, and those at the edges are reached less often, which is why the edges carry the larger multipliers.
The game lists an RTP of 97% and a maximum win of 555x. RTP is a long-run average across all players and all rounds, so it does not describe what one session returns. The maximum win is a ceiling reached rarely, if at all. Each drop is independent of the one before it, and no pattern or betting system changes where the next ball lands.

Computer-run, not a live dealer game
Plinko runs on a random number generator: there is no host, no studio and no other players on the same round. You decide when each ball drops, which makes it faster than a live game. Live dealer games, including game shows, run on the studio's schedule instead, with a fixed betting window. If you want that format, see our live casino guide.
Practical points
Read the in-game rules and payout table before the first drop, and note that rounds finish quickly. Set a deposit limit and a time limit before you start, choose a stake you are comfortable losing and stop when you reach either limit. Chasing a loss with larger stakes only increases what you can lose.
