Plinko is a popular game on “The Price is Right”. Whether you are on a popular game show or someone built a Plinko-like board as a party game, the strategy is quite simple. You place a chip against the board, drop it and it bounces through the maze before landing in a slot where you are awarded some type of prize (on the TV show and Nintendo Wii video game, the prize is monetary) or nothing at all.

Plinko debuted as a pricing game in January 1983. Originally, the center space was worth $5,000, with a potential top prize of $25,000.
Plinko is played for up to $50,000. The contestant is given one free chip and can win up to four more by pricing smaller prizes. For each prize, the contestant is shown a price and must choose which digit of the two displayed—the first or the second—is correct. The contestant wins a small prize and an extra chip for choosing the correct digit. After pricing all of the items, the contestant places one chip at a time on a pegboard (styled similarly to a bean machine), where it eventually falls into one of nine spaces at the bottom.
The values of these spaces are arranged symmetrically. From the outside in, the sequence is $100–$500–$1,000–$0, with the middle space worth $10,000. Once the chip falls into a space, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money and the chip is removed from the board. If a chip becomes stuck on the board, it is knocked loose and returned to the contestant to drop again. The process is repeated until the supply of chips is exhausted, and the contestant wins the total amount of all spaces hit.
