How does the Plinko bonus work?
Spinmatic’s fixed-payline slot, released , has a Plinko bonus: the Special Plinko Symbol on the third reel feeds a Water, Air, Earth or Fire collector; 10 symbols complete it.
A wheel awards 10–100 balls for a 16-row board with its own jackpot tier. The accumulating Fusion multiplier reaches ×50; the completed collector determines the bonus mode, while Deluxe uses a direct trigger.

Is it a Plinko game?
No. It is a slot with a Plinko bonus, combining reels with the elemental boards. Spinmatic also develops the Deluxe sequel. Pragmatic Play Plinko uses an arcade format; here ball play is the bonus.
Fusion reaction: the multiplier that grows to ×50
Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Galaxy are the five Element Elixirs that trigger a Fusion reaction. Their multiplier accumulates over time; a payout receives the accumulated value, then the multiplier resets.
“The multipliers range up to a colossal x50, and they stack up over time.”
Spinmatic
Fusion resets after each payout; collector progress does not.
How the Plinko bonus is collected
Completing a collector starts its elemental bonus while progress in the other collectors survives. The Special Plinko Symbol supplies that progress through a randomly selected element.
Land the Special Plinko Symbol
It appears exclusively on the third reel and randomly selects Water, Air, Earth or Fire.
Add to the matching collector
The selected element receives one symbol in its corresponding collector.
Complete the collection
10 symbols in a collector activate its Plinko bonus; the other collectors keep their progress.
Spin the ball wheel
The wheel selects 10–100 starting balls before play moves to the elemental board.
Retained progress lets bonus rounds follow each other as further collectors fill; once one completes, the ball-and-board stage takes over.
Four Plinko boards: Water, Air, Earth and Fire
All four boards have 16 rows, but each pairs a different volatility profile with its own jackpot tier and feature.
| Mode | Volatility | Guaranteed jackpot tier | Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water | Low | Mini | 10+ extra balls |
| Air | Medium | Midi | Gaps at rows 8 and 12 |
| Earth | High | Maxi | Chance of a ×2 or ×4 multiplier ball |
| Fire | Very high | Grand | One more spin |
The completed collector sets the board; other slot hybrids reach their Plinko round by different routes.
The Power of Plinko vs Elemental Fusion Deluxe
