SweetFlips lands a rare edge hit on Plinko for a huge payout

Plinko is one of the simplest gambling games out there, but don’t let that fool you. Landing a big win is anything but guaranteed, which explains why SweetFlips jumped out of his chair when he landed a x260 payout during a thrilling recent stream.

In the world of online betting, Plinko is as stripped back as it gets and often serves as the pit stop for bettors looking to stabilize their bank roll before jumping into a complex slot. But it’s also highly entertaining in its own right, even if you’re playing in free-mode at a Plinko casino.

In Plinko, a ball is dropped from the top of a pyramid-shaped peg board and bounces randomly left or right off each peg as it falls down through the rows. At the bottom sits a row of buckets, each assigned a multiplier value.

Where the ball lands determines the payout. The more rows there are, the more pegs the ball passes through, and the more unpredictable and extreme the outcomes become. With 13 rows selected in SweetFlips’ case, the board is fairly deep, making this x260 win even more special.

How SweetFlips hit it big in Plinko

On his recent Kick stream, SweetFlips, selected Plinko’s high risk round for his $200 bet size. On high risk with 13 rows, this was easily one of the riskiest sessions one can pick on Plinko. His bet size wasn’t modest either, which had his fans concerned and on edge. Thankfully, luck was on Sweet Flips’ side that day.

While slots usually have the biggest multipliers, in Plinko distribution is heavily weighted toward low values in the center and massive values at the outer edges. At the bottom of the row, the buckets show carry values of 0.2x across most of the middle, with 0.9x, 4x, 11.1x, 38.5x, and 260x moving outward toward the edges. The two outermost buckets on each side pay the highest multipliers, in this case 260x, which is what was hit.

As soon as SweetFlips clicked the yellow bet button, five red balls began their descent down the 13-row board, bouncing off each peg before landing on a random spot. One red ball, however, deviated far on the left, slipping into the x260 bucket.

At $200 per drop, a 260x return paid out $52,000, taking his balance from roughly $25,090 up to $76,450. It is a simple but brutal hit in terms of probability, since landing in the outermost bucket on a 13-row high risk board is one of the rarest outcomes possible in Plinko.

The straightforward ball game is available at Stake and many other Altcoin casinos.
