Straight answer: Plinko is a pure drop game - pick a stake, pick a risk row, release one ball, and physics bounces it through pegs into a multiplier slot. There is no skill in the fall itself; the only real choices are stake size and risk level, which makes oklaro Plinko the easiest board on the cards shelf to budget precisely.
Every ball follows its own path, previous drops never influence the next, and the paytable at the bottom of the board prints every multiplier in advance. One Plinko Demo run of ten balls at minimum stake shows the full spread of outcomes for almost nothing - then with the same one-drop calm.
