Plinko Simulator
This simulator runs batches of drops using the same probability-based model as our Standard Plinko game. Compare session results with the model’s calculated probabilities and theoretical RTP. It does not simulate the Classic physics board.
Session overview
ReadyChoose your settings and press Run Simulation.
Every run starts from your chosen balance.
Theoretical RTP is the average return calculated from the payout table. A single run can finish above or below it.
Balance over drops
Virtual creditsSee how your virtual balance changed during the run. The line starts at your chosen starting balance.
Where the drops landed
Frequency by final slot, from left edge to right edge.
The bars show where the balls landed in this run. The dashed line shows the chances calculated from the model.
Session statistics
A win returns more than the bet. A loss returns less. Break-even returns the same amount. These percentages describe completed drops in this run. Best single drop includes the returned stake; its net profit is shown separately.
Detailed distribution
Slots are numbered from 0 at the left edge. On narrow screens, scroll the table horizontally.
Observed is the result of this run; Expected is the model’s calculated chance. Expected hits is the average number of hits predicted by the model for the number of drops actually completed. It is not a required result.

How to read your session RTP
Observed RTP (Return to Player) compares everything paid back during the run with everything bet. It is not the percentage of your starting balance left. The same credits can be bet again, so the total amount bet can be much larger than your starting balance.
For example, betting 10,000 credits in total and getting 9,318 back gives a session RTP of 93.18%. The loss is 682 credits, so a starting balance of 1,000 becomes 318.
Ending balance: virtual credits left after the run. Profit / loss: how much your balance increased or decreased. Maximum drawdown: the largest fall from an earlier balance peak, in credits.
Why do the same settings give different results?
Each run uses new random drops. Run the same settings again and compare how much the balance, observed RTP and multiplier distribution can change.
See how those swings played out in our study of 225,000 Plinko games.
Risk and Target RTP change the multipliers, not the chances of reaching each slot at the same Rows setting. Want to isolate RTP itself? See our RTP experiment, which compares the same saved drops under different payout tables. Changing the number of rows changes the number of slots and the chance of reaching each one. See Plinko Strategy for risk, bankroll and betting choices.
Use the simulator to explore those differences, not to predict your next session. All bets and balances here are virtual.
