What we think about Plinko by Hacksaw?

“This game is so simple to play yet surprisingly a lot of fun.”

Is Plinko by Hacksaw for you?

Not in the mood for online slots and looking for no-nonsense, play-it-your-way fun? Plinko by Hacksaw might be the ideal game for you. Never heard of Plinko? Inspired by the pachinko parlors of Japan, it’s an instant win gambling game that consists of a ball, a dotted triangle grid, and a series of multiplier zones that award prizes.

In essence, the way a Plinko game works is you select your wager size, hit the bet button, and a ball drops from the top of the triangle shaped grid, slowly tumbling down the pegs to the bottom. As it descends, the ball makes a “plink” sound each time it bounces off a peg. Once it reaches the bottom, it falls into one of the multiplier zones, awarding a prize based on the multiplier value times your current bet amount. Yup, you read that correctly, you get a payout for every bet you make. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll break even or win more than your bet each time you play. In this Plinko game, the zones in the middle award less and the outer zones award the most, with the highest prize being 3,843.3x.

As soon as you load Plinko by Hacksaw, you’re likely to notice – as I did – how very basic this game is in terms of looks and features. There is nothing flashy or dazzling about it. What you see is exactly what you’ll get. The game’s audio is pretty Zen, too, with a coffee shop style ambience. On top of that, there are no features in the sense of bonus rounds, wilds or anything like that. The closest thing to a feature (which I’ll talk about more in the features section) is the ability to configure the game’s risk level. This might not sound like much, but I was surprised at how fun it is to play.

When it comes to betting on the game, the minimum stake Plinko amount in Canada is $0.10 and the maximum stake is $50. As I’ll discuss in the features section of this Hacksaw Plinko review, the game has varying volatility, making it highly flexible in terms of player appeal. Everyone from novices and low budget players to experienced gamblers and high rollers can enjoy it.

Don’t think Plinko by Hacksaw is the game for you? At OJO’s online casino you’ve got thousands of other options. Try your luck at the roulette wheel, enjoy a game of live blackjack, or give the reels of popular slots like Full Moon White King a spin.

Fun fact, if Plinko sounds familiar to you, perhaps you remember it from the daytime TV game show The Price is Right. Created in 1983 for the show, the Plinko board game was the most popular pricing game on the show.

Game features

Configure

Hacksaw’s Plinko gambling game does not have any special features in terms of bonuses, wilds, jackpots, etc. However, as it is a Dare2Win™ game, its main feature is configuration. Before placing your bet, you have the option to switch up the volatility and the number of rows on the Plinko board. Ultimately, what this means is that you dictate the game’s risk level. If you want a higher or lower volatility game, you can make that happen with a few simple clicks.

In Plinko by Hacksaw you can choose from Low, Medium, or High Risk. As for rows, you can choose anywhere from 8 to 16. The risk level and number of rows determines the values of the prizes at the bottom. For instance:

• Low Risk with 8 Rows: Prize value range - 0.9x to 5.6x the bet (min risk)
• High Risk with 16 Rows: Prize value range - 0.3x to 3843.3x the bet (max risk).

When the game first loads, the default is Medium Risk and 16 Rows (0.7x – 1718.7x).

Regardless of the risk level and rows you pick, the bigger multipliers are always located at the outer corners of the triangle. Naturally, they’re harder to score as the ball is more likely to land near the bottom center of the grid, where the smaller prizes are. Keep this in mind when choosing your bet size. Also, remember that if you want a shot at scoring the highest payout, this is only possible with the maximum risk level (High Risk with 16 Rows).

I really like that you can pick and choose different risk levels, because it allowed me to find the one that I enjoyed the most. For me, this turned out to be Medium Risk with 12 rows (0.7x – 150.4x).

Release Multiple Balls

The other notable fun feature of the Plinko by Hacksaw instant win game is that you can have multiple balls drop down the same grid.

Every bet you make releases another ball. This can make things more interesting, especially if you’re looking for more action on the screen at once.

For me, I found that the larger the grid, the more balls I liked to drop. Just remember that each ball costs a bet.

All this, including the option to have more than one ball in play at a time by placing multiple bets, makes Plinko a fast and fun experience at home and on the go.
