InOut Games Plinko games on this site
Plinko 1000 came first; Plinko Aztec followed with an energy-meter bonus and a golden ball dropped from a pyramid. Both are single-player games, so the choice centres on your ball settings and the bonus mechanic. InOut Games also makes games beyond this pair. Plinko 1000 includes automatic repetition of the last bet as well as autoplay, so its session controls extend beyond choosing the ball colour.
The digits in Plinko 1000 belong to its name; the ball colour determines the available peak payout. Both demos use USD play credits, and free demo play lets you explore the controls before staking money; the studio catalogue broadens the choice beyond InOut Games when you want to compare another studio’s approach to the board.
Plinko 1000 and Plinko Aztec side by side
Ball colour changes the risk in Plinko 1000, while Plinko Aztec keeps a single board and adds an energy bonus. That makes the decision more substantial than choosing the larger return percentage. The comparison pairs each return with the part of the game it covers.
| Game | Released | Board | Risk | Top cell | RTP | Balls and bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plinko 1000 | 16 rows, 17 cells | Ball colour: Blue · Green · Red | ×1,000 Red ball | 96% | Ball count chosen in the game; autoplay and repeat of the last bet | |
| Plinko Aztec | 15 rows, 16 cells | Single board, no risk selection | ×100 | 98% incl. bonus; 77.71% base board only | 10 · 20 · 50 balls per drop; energy meter → bonus game |
The energy meter in Plinko Aztec leads into a bonus game with a wheel, a BONUS sector and additional balls. Its base-board return is calculated from the studio’s probability table; the bonus contributes to the whole-game figure.
Plinko Aztec’s central pockets pay ×0, so a ball landing there returns nothing from the base board. The energy meter and bonus wheel add another part to the session, which makes the board payouts alone an incomplete picture of the game’s return.
Plinko 1000 keeps the board size fixed when you change colour, but changes both the peak and central payouts. The colour ladder makes the trade-off visible before a ball drops.
| Ball colour | Top cell | Centre cell |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | ×15 | ×0.5 |
| Green | ×200 | ×0.2 |
| Red | ×1,000 | ×0.2 |
Green and Red share the same centre payout despite their different peaks; changing colour therefore changes more than the largest number at the edge. The Plinko 1000 demo lets you move between those colour settings on the same board.
Choose Plinko 1000 for risk controlled by ball colour. Plinko Aztec suits a fixed-board session with an energy bonus. It is also the newer release.
For the return comparison, RTP applies to the mechanics included in the percentage, making the bonus part of the decision. Both clients include “Provably fair settings”; provably fair verification concerns round outcomes, alongside the payout structure you choose.
