Is Xmas Plinko a slot?
No. Xmas Plinko is a board game: baubles fall down a tree-shaped board into prize slots, and it has no bonus rounds.
The tree theme and multi-bauble rounds give this game its own shape within the Gaming Corps Plinko family.
Xmas Plinko max win: ×3,200
×3,200 is the highest prize-slot multiplier in Xmas Plinko. A bauble's payout is its prize-slot multiplier multiplied by the bet, so the slot it reaches determines the return.
A top multiplier describes the payout ceiling; Plinko RTP describes the long-run return.
Xmas Plinko RTP: 97.05% or 94.19%
The versions differ by 2.86 percentage points, with the casino choosing which one it offers. That choice changes the expected cost of play before you set the bauble count. Some catalogues quote only one of the two figures.
| Casino-selected version | RTP | Expected loss per 100 units staked |
|---|---|---|
| Higher-return version | 97.05% | 2.95 |
| Lower-return version | 94.19% | 5.81 |
Expected loss is 100 minus RTP, arithmetic from the studio figures; return percentages describe long-run averages.
How to play Xmas Plinko
Bauble count, risk and bet size are player choices for every round. Set them before the drop, then the baubles fall into the tree's prize slots.
Choose the bauble count
Select how many baubles to drop, up to 50 in a round.
Choose the risk
Set the risk for the coming round.
Set the bet
Choose the bet size for the drop.
Drop the baubles
Start the round and let the baubles reach their prize slots.
Every round, your choice
You can change the controls again for the next round, including the bet size. Each new drop gives you another choice of how many baubles enter the board and which risk setting accompanies them.
Up to 50 baubles
More baubles put more prize-slot payouts into a round on the same board. The basic Plinko rules explain the path from a drop to its payout.
