Is it a slot?

This is a peg-board game. A ball’s landing pocket determines its payout, with Free Balls applying an extra multiplier.

Clawbuster’s Plinko games build extra ball features around that pocket-based payout.

Golden Heads of Midas, Free Balls and Bonus Bet

Golden Heads of Midas are special pegs next to the prize slots. A Heavy Ball always makes a Head explode on contact; a Regular Ball has a chance to.

  1. Hit a Golden Head

    A dropped ball reaches a Golden Head close to the prize slots.

  2. Resolve the trigger

    A Regular Ball gives the Head a chance to explode. A Heavy Ball always triggers it on contact.

  3. Release the Free Balls

    The Head releases a group with an equal multiplier: 2×, 3×, 5×, 10×, 25× or 100×. Each Free Ball continues down to a prize slot.

  4. Regenerate the Golden Head

    The Head regenerates after releasing the group. Free Balls cannot trigger a Golden Head themselves.

The group shares one multiplier, and each Free Ball pays for its own landing pocket.

How the Free Ball payout works

The Free Ball value multiplies the pocket payout. The studio’s formula is:

Win Amount = Bet Size × Prize Slot Value × Free Ball Value

Clawbuster Midas Golden Plinko rules
Clawbuster’s Free Ball payout example
Bet sizePrize slot valueFree Ball valueWin amount
5 EUR10×3×150 EUR

That is the win of one Free Ball; the round total adds the other Free Balls.

What Bonus Bet changes

Bonus Bet makes every dropped ball a Heavy Ball and raises the stake.

ModePriceGolden Head effect
Regular playSelected stakeA Regular Ball has a chance to trigger an explosion on contact
Bonus Bet · Ultra+3.00 FUN on a 1.00 FUN stakeEvery dropped ball is a Heavy Ball; contact guarantees an explosion

The guarantee covers the Head trigger only; the landing pocket still sets the payout in the level table.

Midas Golden Plinko payout table by level

Edge pockets pay more, the centre less than the stake; the minimum pocket pays 0.1×, so no pocket pays zero. Each row mirrors around the centre.

Switching level changes the pocket payouts; a pocket multiplier alone does not express the game’s return to player.

RTP 95% and the ×25,000 maximum

The client’s return is a theoretical figure; the maximum caps the win relative to the bet. The rules put the ceiling directly:

The maximum winning amount is 25,000x your bet size.

The largest Ultra pocket multiplied by the highest Free Ball value gives 250 × 100 = 25,000, matching the maximum.
