About Plinko
Plinko is the board from The Price Is Right: a triangular field of pegs with prize slots along the bottom. You drop a disc from the top and it bounces its way down, deflecting off peg after peg, and where it lands is where it lands.
It's pure chance dressed as a decision — you choose the drop position, and that's the only control you have. The physics of the bounce do everything else, which is exactly why watching it is satisfying.
How to play Plinko
- Choose a drop position
- Click along the top of the board
- Drop
- Click to release the disc
- Pick where along the top to drop the disc.
- It falls, bouncing off pegs on the way down.

- Drop again — each disc is independent.
Plinko tips
- Centre drops tend toward centre slots, but only on average — any single drop can go anywhere.
- The highest-value slots are usually at the edges precisely because they're hardest to reach.
- There is no skill to develop here. That's the design.
- Watch a few drops before deciding whether the edges are worth chasing.
Plinko — questions
Is Plinko a game of skill?
Almost entirely chance. You choose the drop position, but the pegs randomise the path so thoroughly that the outcome is effectively random — which is what makes it watchable.
Where does Plinko come from?
The American game show The Price Is Right, where it debuted in 1983 and became the show's most famous pricing game.
