Pine of Plinko 2 at a glance
Print Studios puts a reel game around the Plinko feature, so ordinary spins and bonus throws have different jobs. Paylines belong to the base game. Once scatters trigger the feature, the action moves to a board where bumper hits build a stage meter.

Is Pine of Plinko 2 a slot or a Plinko game?
It is a slot, with the reel layout and paylines shown above handling the base game. Plinko appears inside its bonus. That combination puts it among the slot hybrids in the Relax Gaming range.
How the Plinko Bonus works
Scatter symbols take you away from the reels and into a sequence of throws on the Plinko board. Their numbers determine your starting throws. Bumpers then give each falling ball another role: as well as sending it across the board, their hits fill the meter that advances the feature.
Trigger the board
Land 3+ scatters to enter the Plinko Bonus. The feature switches the action from the base-game reels to falling balls.
Read the scatter numbers
The numbers on the triggering scatters set the starting throws. A re-roll costs the amount displayed on the scatter and gives another roll of its number.
Throw balls through the bumpers
Balls fall towards 15 pockets. Bumper hits fill the stage meter while the balls travel across the board.
Advance and double the balls
Fill the meter to move to the next stage. Balls released per click double as stages advance, up to 256.
Scatters decide how many throws you start with, and bumper hits decide how far you get: each full meter doubles the balls per click. A re-roll is priced on the scatter itself and happens before the first throw.
If the board itself is new to you, how to play Plinko covers rows, risk and pockets on a standard game.
Bumper Buckets and Golden Ball Pockets
Bumper Buckets keep balls travelling by bouncing them back onto the board, while Golden Ball Pockets lead into a different ending to a stage. The golden ball travels alone. With the bumpers removed for that ball, its closing drop plays differently from the throws that fill the meter.
| Element | What it does | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Bumper Buckets | Bounce balls back onto the board | Another pass over the bumpers that fill the stage meter |
| Golden Ball Pockets | Produce a golden ball at the end of the stage, with bumpers removed | A single golden ball paying up to 10,000× |
| Catapults | Send a ball upwards again | A second descent through the board |
Catapults and Bumper Buckets keep ordinary balls in play; the golden ball changes the board itself. On its own it pays up to 10,000×, half the slot’s 20,000× ceiling, and that ceiling is built inside the bonus, from the golden ball plus the stage throws.
The game’s top win comes through the bonus, and the mode prices and returns put that potential payout alongside the cost of reaching the feature directly.
Pine of Plinko 2 RTP by mode: base game, Scatter Boost and Bonus Buy
The return changes with the way you enter play, from ordinary spins to Scatter Boost or direct feature entry. Scatter Boost increases the scatters on the reels. Bonus Buy, also called Feature Bet, takes you straight into the Plinko Bonus at the price shown here.
| Mode | Price | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Base game | Selected stake | 96.32% (96.32–96.49% with re-roll) |
| Scatter Boost | 2× the stake | 96.42–96.53% |
| Bonus Buy / Feature Bet | 92× the stake | 96.50–96.56% |
Scatter Boost doubles the cost of every spin for 0.10–0.21 points of extra return; Bonus Buy charges 92 stakes at once. A higher return to player describes the long-run maths, rather than a guaranteed payment from a bonus or a session.
What high volatility means here
High volatility means less frequent, larger payouts. The 20,000× ceiling comes through the Plinko Bonus, so long runs of plain reel spins are part of the deal.
Pine of Plinko 2 vs Pine of Plinko and Pond of Plinko
The original Pine of Plinko pairs its board bonus with Dream Drop, while Pond of Plinko adds River Prize and Enhancer. All three are high-volatility 5×3 slots from Print Studios; what changes from one to the next is the bonus around the board.
| Game | Studio / developer | Release | RTP | Maximum win | Volatility | Layout | Bet | Extra features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pine of Plinko 2 | Relax Gaming / Print Studios | 96.32% base; modes 96.42–96.56% | 20,000× | High | 5×3, 10 paylines | 0.10–50 | Plinko Bonus, Scatter Boost, Bonus Buy | |
| Pine of Plinko | Relax Gaming / Print Studios | 96.48% base; 93.48% with Dream Drop; 96.78% with Scatter Boost | 10,000× | High | 5×3, 10 paylines | 0.2–175 | Plinko Bonus, Dream Drop, Bonus Buy | |
| Pond of Plinko | Relax Gaming / Print Studios | 96.1% (96.10–96.49%) | 30,000× | High | 5×3, 20 paylines | From 0.10 | River Prize, Plinko Bonus, Enhancer |
The original Pine of Plinko adds a Dream Drop jackpot mode, which takes its return from 96.48% to 93.48%. The sequel shifts the bonus focus towards its golden ball and stage progression, so the choice between them goes beyond their shared reel format.
Pond of Plinko keeps the studio’s slot-and-board combination and changes the feature mix with River Prize and Enhancer. Maximum wins rise across the series from 10,000× through 20,000× to 30,000×; the wider Plinko catalogue also separates these slot hybrids from standalone boards.
