Pond of Plinko

Pond of Plinko Slot Review 

If you're not new to the world of slots, you're probably already familiar with a game like Plinko. It's a mini-game where balls drop from the top of the screen, bounce off pegs on their way down and land in prize buckets at the bottom. Interestingly, this concept resonated well with Print Studios, as seen in their previous games Pine of Plinko and Pine of Plinko 2, so they expanded on the idea to create the perfect synergy in Pond of Plinko. Visually, the slot is quite charming and unusually versatile, moving from a snowy village by the ocean to the underwater kingdom where the Plinko action takes place.

Info

Now let's focus on the game field, which consists of 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 20 ways to win. The maximum RTP is a decent 96.49%, while the volatility soars to an impressive Extreme level. The betting range is modest, from €0.1 to €30, but by activating the Scatter Boost at x1.2 of the bet, you can increase your chances of landing the coveted Scatter symbols.

Bonus Feature

The only purpose of the reels is to reward players with some wins and provide a chance to trigger the Plinko Bonus by landing 3 Scatter symbols. Each Scatter displays a number of pearls, which can be re-rolled for a certain cost to try for more favorable values. Make sure you collect enough pearls to unlock powerful Enhancers in the Enhancer Game. During this game, pearls will drop and fill the Enhancer meters. Once an Enhancer meter is full, it gets activated for the main Plinko Bonus game, with up to 3 Enhancers active at a certain stage. There are 6 types of Enhancers:

• Bumper Buckets – transforms 2 of the central prize buckets into bumpers. When a ball lands in a Bumper Bucket, it bounces back to the top.
• Golden Ball – activates 2 Golden Pockets on the board. If a ball lands in one of these pockets, a Golden Ball is awarded at the end of the stage. When the Golden Ball drops, a single ball falls, and all buckets have higher prizes, with potential rewards of up to 10,000x.
• Extra Drops – awards up to 7 additional drops.
• Progressive Prize Buckets – selects 2 random buckets and increases their multiplier by their initial value each time a ball lands in them.
• Enhanced Prize Buckets – multiplies 1 of the prize buckets by 10.
• Barriers – activates 2 barriers on the board, forcing balls to veer toward the sides.

Now let's have a look at Plinko. The game consists of 9 stages and on each stage you only get 10 drops. A progress meter at the top of the screen shows how far you've advanced in the current stage, while the buckets at the bottom display the prizes. Additionally, the number of pearls doubles when you move to the next stage. Stage progress is filled as pearls hit the blue bumpers in the middle of the screen.

Of course, if you're not in the mood to wait, you can take advantage of the Bonus Purchase feature to jump straight into the action.

Verdict

This may be exactly what players imagine as the perfect integration of a Plinko game into an online slot environment, and Pond of Plinko lives up to those expectations. Scatter symbols will be the only hurdle to triggering the game, but once you're in, nothing holds you back. The Enhancers ensure a much more profitable and varied gameplay experience, often taking the game in completely unexpected directions. Of course, it all comes down to your luck, but with an incredible maximum win of x30,000 at stake, the choice is yours. Tempting, isn't it?
