Fire & Bones RTP: four versions, from 98.10% to 84.21%
Average cost rises from 1.90 to 15.79 stake units per 100 wagered across Quickspin’s four versions. The casino determines which version you play; each has its own game ID and return split.
| Version | Game ID | RTP | Base game, points | Bonus 1, points | Bonus 2, points | Maximum payout within 100 million simulated balls | Average cost per 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 98% | pearlofplinkofireandbones | 98.10% | 47.59 | 27.33 | 23.18 | 243× | 1.90 |

Quickspin game sheet, retrieved .
The combined bonuses contribute 50.51, 42.08, 37.50 and 20.56 percentage points respectively. Their shares of total RTP are 51.5%, 44.7%, 40.7% and 24.4% (arithmetic from the Quickspin sheet).
RTP measures long-run return, making the version a direct part of the price of play.
Win odds: Big, Super, Mega and Epic Win
Epic Win is rarer in the lowest-return version than in the highest-return version. Big, Super, Mega and Epic identify the payout thresholds below; probabilities are per the Quickspin game sheet.
| RTP version | Big Win (15×) | Super Win (40×) | Mega Win (70×) | Epic Win (100×) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 98.10% | 1 in 126 | 1 in 565 | 1 in 2,339 | 1 in 13,681 |
| 94.19% | 1 in 153 | 1 in 707 | 1 in 2,994 | 1 in 17,557 |
| 92.07% | 1 in 174 | 1 in 818 | 1 in 3,529 | 1 in 20,730 |
| 84.21% | 1 in 348 | 1 in 1,964 | 1 in 10,487 | 1 in 63,533 |
Quickspin game sheet, retrieved .
Epic Win moves from 1 in 13,681 at the highest return to 1 in 63,533 at the lowest. For the same Pearl o’ Plinko series with different award odds, Mermaid Cove reaches Big Win more often at the highest return.
Maximum payout
Maximum payouts are 243×, 239×, 237× and 222× across the versions, within 100 million simulated balls. The highest-return version also has the largest payout in that simulation.
How the Fire & Bones board works
An Award Pocket ends a ball’s journey, while an Award Gate pays and lets it continue. Re-Launchers expand play with fresh balls, and Bonus Pockets carry balls into a bonus after the round.
Launch the balls
The Ball Launcher releases balls onto the board.
Travel through the pegs
Pegs deflect the balls as they move across the board.
Collect awards
Award Pockets stop a ball and pay an award. Award Gates pay an award while the ball continues.
Reach a Re-Launcher
Each ball landing in a Re-Launcher launches 3 new balls.
Collect bonus balls
A Bonus Pocket adds a ball to the bonus game played after the round.
Two bonus games
Ship Graveyard and Fire Island extend the pirate theme into bonus play. Bonus Pockets provide the route from the base board; Extra Bet adds another pocket for that route.
Plinko starts with a stake and a ball; Fire & Bones adds continuing gate awards and bonus-ball collection.
Extra Bet and Buy Feature
Extra Bet adds a Bonus Pocket to the base board, while Buy Feature takes you into a bonus game. Feature purchases are available only in some markets, with a different entry price for each bonus.
| Feature | Price | Effect | At a €1 stake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Bet | 1.5× stake | Adds an extra Bonus Pocket | €1.50 |
| Buy Feature: bonus game 1 | 4× stake | Enters bonus game 1; market restrictions apply | €4 |
| Buy Feature: bonus game 2 | 12× stake | Enters bonus game 2; market restrictions apply | €12 |
The table’s euro amounts are arithmetic at the default stake. These are paid game features; casino bonuses carry account-level offer terms.
