Pine of Plinko 2 has a golden-ball bonus; BGaming’s Plinko 2: Multiplier Madness is a pegboard game from another studio, so the full name matters when choosing a demo.

Relax Gaming Plinko RTP changes with the version

Pine’s Dream Drop edition and its non-jackpot version have different returns, while Pond’s casino builds extend below its default range. Pine of Plinko 2 also changes return between base play, Scatter Boost and Bonus Buy. An RTP figure therefore belongs to a named edition or mode: applying the headline return to every way of playing loses the difference that affects the wager.

RTP by edition and mode.

The sequel’s base range includes rerolls, with Scatter Boost and Bonus Buy occupying their own rows. Pond also has a Bonus Buy range alongside its default range. A comparison between those paid entries therefore uses the paid-mode figures; a comparison of ordinary spins uses the base or default version, with the jackpot edition identified explicitly for Pine.

Compare returns by version and mode, not by game name: Pine’s jackpot edition and Pond’s lower builds change the percentage under the same title.

Relax Gaming win ceilings rise as top stakes fall

Pond’s maximum multiplier is three times Pine’s, while the original accepts the largest top stake in the series. Pine of Plinko 2 sits between them on both measures. The later games also share the lower minimum stake, so their entry point moves in the opposite direction to the win ceiling.

Maximum win and stake ladder. Pine’s maximum excludes jackpots.

Pond’s maximum-win chance is 1 in 43,478,261, alongside a hit frequency of 31.25%, so its top payout occupies a very different place from its regular winning outcomes.

In the wider Plinko game comparison, stake range and win multiplier together make a more useful filter than the multiplier alone.

Relax Gaming Scatter Boost and Bonus Buy costs

Pine’s boost adds a surcharge to the stake; the sequel uses a doubled stake, and Pond offers both a lighter boost and an enhanced option. Bonus Buy gives the sequel and Pond a direct paid route into the bonus. Pond’s Enhanced Scatter Boost and the sequel’s Scatter Boost both cost 2× the stake; Pond also offers the lighter 1.2× boost.

Feature prices as listed in game catalogues; multipliers apply to the stake.

The sequel combines its buy option with paid Scatter Reroll, while Pond groups its boosts and Plinko Bonus purchase under Feature Bet. A Pine of Plinko 2 demo puts the numbered-scatters bonus and the golden ball in the same game, making the feature sequence the useful comparison before a paid entry.

More Plinko studios: bonuses or a pegboard

Pragmatic Play’s Hercules shares the slot-with-a-Plinko-bonus format, while BGaming offers a board. Quickspin uses a Plinko map for bonus games, giving the bonus format another direction.
