Okay, listen, I’ll tell you about Plinko in Korea, it’s like a casino game, but with its own thing. Imagine a board, you know, a vertical board with a bunch of nails, on which a ball falls – like in old TV shows, only now you can make real money for it… or drain it, as you are lucky.
I once went to an online casino – you know, just for fun, to see what’s what – and there was this Plinko. You choose how high to launch the ball and how much it can deflect left and right. The greater the risk, the higher the potential winnings, but, you know, the chance of hitting a large sum tends to zero. In short, the closer to the edges of the board, the fatter the payout, but to get there is like winning in life without connections, you know.
At first I was like, “This is bullshit, it’s simple. And then, after 15 minutes, I’m already sitting, counting how I could increase the chance to get to x3 at least, and how not to drain the entire deposit. The game is simple as hell, but it’s addictive.
In Korea, it is, by the way, quite popular among those who like to tickle their nerves, because you do not just spin the slot, but you can see how the ball bounces, and you think come on, a little more, a little more, a little more – and he is such a hop and in x0.2. And you sit with the face of a man who just canceled a vacation.
In short, it’s fun to try, especially if you don’t see it as a way to make money. Just as a game of chance, where you sort of control something (actually, you don’t). The main thing is to set a limit and to get out in time, if you suddenly get lucky. Otherwise you can get hung up and go negative, like a cab after a party.
That’s the story with Plinko. It’s fun, annoying, but for some reason you want to click again.
