About this board
High risk is Plinko's lottery mode. On 16 rows, nine of the seventeen buckets pay 0.2× – that is 79% of drops losing 80% of the stake – while each corner pays 1000× at odds of 1 in 65,536. RTP is still about 99%, but almost all of it is concentrated in buckets you will rarely see.
The standard deviation per drop is 6.6× the bet, roughly 20 times the low-risk table. In plain terms: a $100 bankroll at $1 a drop busts before 500 drops in the majority of our Monte-Carlo runs. Try it here first, then run the exact numbers in the bankroll calculator.
How to use the simulator
- Set a bet. Type any amount from $0.10 to $1,000 or use the quick buttons. The bet is deducted when the ball leaves the top.
- Choose rows and risk. This board is locked to high risk; rows are free to change. The buckets redraw instantly.
- Drop. Click the board, press Drop or hit the space bar. Balls can overlap – drop as fast as you like.
- Watch the stats. Live RTP is total returned ÷ total wagered. Net is your profit or loss since the last reset.
- Reset whenever the balance runs low. Nothing is recorded anywhere except your own browser.
What the bucket colours mean
Pink buckets pay 10× or more, amber pay 2× to 9×, lime pay 1× to 1.9× and the grey-violet centre pays less than your stake. On this configuration 21.0% of drops land in a lime, amber or pink bucket.
