Plinko X by Smartsoft Gaming

Place a bet to drop a plinko ball down the pyramid consisting of 16 rows of pins. There are three difficulty modes to play which controls the variance of big wins to small wins in the multiplier buckets at the bottom. The ball bounces off the pins, arriving in one of the 17 multiplier buckets at the bottom. Your bet value is multiplied by the value indicated on the multiplier bucket, and immediately credited to your balance. Read the step-by-step guide to playing Plinko X below.

‍

Step 1: Set your bet amount

Set your bet level anywhere from $0.10 to $100. Nudge your bet amount higher or lower using the + and - buttons, or click the value in the display to bring up the quick pick bet size menu. Each ball dropped is equal to ×1 the value chosen in this step.

Step 2: Choose your difficulty mode

There are three unique difficulty modes to play. The difficulty of the game indicates the volatility, which is controlled by the spread of multiplier values on the buckets at the bottom of the pyramid. See the paytable for each difficulty below, where the intersect between row and column calculate the ball multiplier value and the win bucket multiplier value. This information is taken directly from the Plinko X in-game menu.

Step 3: Press play to drop the ball

Drop a plinko ball onto the pyramid by pressing the big PLAY button. One of three balls will enter the game, and its color indicates its base multiplier value.

• Red ball: ×1 multiplier (standard payout)
• Yellow ball: ×5 multiplier (moderate bonus)
• Blue ball: ×10 multiplier (maximum bonus)

The ball will tumble its way down the Plinko X pyramid and eventually land in one of the multiplier buckets below. Your payout is relative to the color of the ball, the multiplier bucket the ball lands into and the amount of money you wagered.

Example: If a blue ball (×10) lands in a box with a ×20 multiplier, your total multiplier is ×200 (20 × 10). Therefore, if your bet amount was $5, this bet would return $1,000 ($5 × 200).

‍

The default theoretical Return to Player (RTP) is 97.0% and the maximum multiplier per ball is 10,000x. The RTP is the same regardless of the difficulty mode, and the max win of ×10,000 must be won by combining the ×10 ball with the ×1,000 multiplier bucket.

Below are the key features of Plinko X by SmartSoft:

Three Difficulty Modes: Choose the difficulty to suit your volatility preference – Low, Medium or High. The higher the volatility, the larger the variance of small to big wins across the 17 multiplier buckets at the base of the plinko pyramid.

Boosted Multiplier Balls: Red balls have a default 1x multiplier, yellow balls a 5x multiplier and blue balls a 10x multiplier. Ball color is dropped at random.

B+ Mode: Turn on B+ mode to increase your chance of seeing a multiplier ball dropped with each bet. This feature mode costs a premium of ×0.5 your base bet value. If your base bet was $1, then turning this feature on would cost $1.5 per ball.

Multi Ball Drop: Choose to drop 1, 5, 10 or 25 balls with a single click of the play button. Select the number of balls from the betting panel, then press PLAY. The number of balls dropped is multiplied by your bet value as a cost. For example, 5 balls dropped at $10 base bet will immediately cost $50.

Autoplay and Bet Limits: Automate the game, repeating the same bet configuration for a specific number of rounds. Open up the autoplay menu from the betting panel, then choose the number of rounds to automate, the value of each bet, how many balls dropped per round and if you want B+ mode turned on or off. You can also configure stop limits which end the automation if a specific win or loss trigger is achieved.
