Plinko is a dynamic, color-based strategy game where players select one of three available colors to guide a falling ball through a series of multipliers and color-coded tiles. As the ball drops, it interacts with these tiles, causing the player's balance to adjust based on the tiles it passes through. Each color corresponds to specific outcomes that influence the progression of the game.

Players have access to various tools that can be used to manipulate the playing field, offering opportunities to strategically alter the flow of the game. Each round introduces additions, up to a maximum of two active boosts at once, providing further tactical options for managing the ball's descent.
