Is Plinko Pop a slot?
Plinko Pop is a pegboard game with risk settings, physics, a big-win feed and ranks. It has no bonus round or free spins; Meltdown adds the reactor bonus to the Mascot Gaming family.
Plinko Pop payout table: every pocket on three risk levels
Low keeps its smallest payout at 0.5×, while High stretches its bottom multiplier across the centre. Payout equals the stake multiplied by the landing pocket’s value; both halves of the board mirror each other.

Reading the table
The board mirrors itself: pocket 1 pays what pocket 17 pays, pocket 2 what pocket 16 pays, and so on to the centre. The five central High pockets all pay 0.2×. A pocket below 1× returns part of your stake and a pocket at 1× returns it in full; how multipliers add up to the long-run return to player is a separate question.
Low, Medium or High: what changes on the same board
Low has more pockets that return at least the stake; High raises the largest payout and lowers the centre. Switching risk changes the paytable on the existing board.
| Risk | Top pocket | Minimum | Pockets paying at least 1× |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 16× | 0.5× | 16 of 17 |
| Medium | 110× | 0.3× | 14 of 17 |
| High | 1,000× | 0.2× | 12 of 17 |
The lower central payouts accompany the larger edge prizes. Your stake and risk choices determine how much money is exposed to that payout spread.
How to play Plinko Pop
Three steps carry a ball from stake selection to payout. The bet controller puts halving and doubling alongside the smaller adjustments, with Play launching the balls. Halving reduces the selected stake, doubling increases it, and the minus and plus buttons let you adjust it in either direction.
Set your bet
Use ½, −, + or ×2 to adjust the stake.
Launch the balls
Press Play to send balls down the pegboard.
