Observation: The Plinko Game Appears to Be Rigged Based on Bet Size and Past Winnings
High Multipliers Favor Low Bets: When placing small bets (typically less than $1), the game frequently shows high multipliers (like 100x or more), creating an illusion that big wins are achievable.
Larger Bets Are Heavily Suppressed: As soon as the bet amount increases to $10–$100, the multiplier system seems to collapse. Even after dropping 50–100 balls, the highest return observed is often just 2x, indicating a heavily throttled algorithm for larger wagers.
Jackpot Lock After First Hit: If a player wins a significant jackpot (like 1000x) on a small bet, the game appears to silently blacklist the player from winning that prize again for an extended period—potentially months. Even betting 2–3 times the original winning amount yields no further jackpot wins, implying a cooldown or limit enforcement designed to avoid repeat payouts
Many Balls Visibly Enter the 4x and 2x Baskets, But the Result Displays 0.2x Instead: This misleading visual feedback is the strongest indicator of manipulation. Players see balls land in high-multiplier zones, but the final payout shown is much lower, breaking the trust in the game’s mechanics
