Split The Pot Plinko at a glance
A ball’s landing bucket decides its payout, so the multiplier strip matters more than the journey through the pegs. The studio demo uses euro limits; the South African lobby takes rand stakes.

Who makes Split The Pot Plinko?
Split The Pot (Pty) Ltd makes the game, with bases in Stockholm and Johannesburg and a GGB National Manufacturer Licence. Hollywoodbets carries its Plinko in the lobby.
RTP 99%, rows and difficulty
Return to player measures payouts across total stakes over the long run, rather than how often a ball makes a profit. Difficulty changes the bucket layout.
The expected cost is one unit per hundred units staked, and a session can finish far from that average. The RTP calculation weights each payout by its chance, including the rare large returns.
What the buckets pay: 14 rows, Medium
The default multiplier strip mirrors itself around the centre, giving each ball a landing place among 15 buckets. Multiply your stake by the bucket value for the return, including the portion of the stake paid back.
Default-board payouts, left to right. Chances are a calculation from the board's multipliers using C(14,k)/2¹⁴ for bucket k from the left edge. The weighted return is 98.99%. Each edge bucket is 1 in 16,384.
| Bucket position | Multiplier | Calculated chance |
|---|---|---|
| Left edge | 245× | 0.0061% |
| 1 from left edge | 29× | 0.0854% |
| 2 from left edge | 7.3× | 0.555% |
| 3 from left edge | 3.5× | 2.22% |
| 4 from left edge | 1.9× | 6.11% |
| 5 from left edge | 0.8× | 12.2% |
| 6 from left edge | 0.5× | 18.3% |
| Centre | 0.3× | 20.9% |
| 6 from right edge | 0.5× | 18.3% |
| 5 from right edge | 0.8× | 12.2% |
| 4 from right edge | 1.9× | 6.11% |
| 3 from right edge | 3.5× | 2.22% |
| 2 from right edge | 7.3× | 0.555% |
| 1 from right edge | 29× | 0.0854% |
| Right edge | 245× | 0.0061% |
Below-stake payouts reduce the balance. A centre landing returns only part of the money committed to that ball, while the outer buckets provide the bigger wins. A Plinko stake plan needs room for those losing returns.
How a round works: Play, auto bet and speed
Play sends a ball through the selected board, and its final bucket applies the payout multiplier. Repeated presses add more balls. Finish choosing your settings before starting the drop.

Auto-bet controls
Auto combines a run length with stake adjustments and stopping conditions:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rounds | Sets the number of rounds in the run. |
| Max stake | Sets the stake ceiling for the run. |
| On win | Resets the stake or applies a custom adjustment after a win. |
| On loss | Resets the stake or applies a custom adjustment after a loss. |
| Stop on loss | Stops the run at the selected loss limit. |
| Stop on profit | Stops the run at the selected profit target. |
Three speed settings run from slowest through medium to fastest, changing the pace of the drop. The stake-to-bucket rule applies to every round, Manual or Auto.
Split The Pot Plinko vs BGaming, Hacksaw and Spribe
BGaming and Hacksaw offer the same row range as Split The Pot, while Spribe uses a narrower selection.
Split The Pot’s maximum is a demo payout limit in EUR; the other maximums are stake multipliers and cannot be ranked against that currency cap.
| Game | Rows | Risk | RTP | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Split The Pot Plinko | 8–16 | Easy / Medium / Hard | 99% · v1.1 | 1,000,000 EUR demo payout cap |
| BGaming Plinko | 8–16 | Low / Normal / High | 98.91–99.16% | 1,000× |
| Hacksaw Plinko | 8–16 | Low / Medium / High | 7 versions: 98.98–88.20% | 3,843.3× |
| Spribe Plinko | 12, 14, 16 | Three colours | 97% | 555× |
Difficulty labels vary between studios: Medium here means the bucket strip above, not the Medium of another game.
