# Plinko: Drop the Ball, Land a Bin

> An 8-row or 12-row board. Each bounce follows one bit of the house signature. Outer bins pay up to 9.52x, and most bins pay something.

Drop a ball down a peg board. At each row it bounces left or right, and the bin it lands in sets your payout. Each bounce is one bit of `H`, the hash of the house signature over your bet, so the path is decided the moment the signature exists.

## Boards

Two boards are live, both on the low-variance table:

| Board   | Bins | Top bin pays | Center bin |
| ------- | ---- | ------------ | ---------- |
| 8 rows  | 9    | **5.7x**     | 0.50x      |
| 12 rows | 13   | **9.52x**    | 0.52x      |

The 8-row board pays, from edge to center: 5.7x, 2.0x, 1.04x, 0.95x, 0.50x. Bin probabilities are binomial (the center is the most likely, the edges the rarest).

<Note>
  Most losing bins still pay something. Land on 0.95x or 0.50x and that amount is really owed to you: collect it instantly or let the keeper deliver it automatically. The result panel shows exactly what you get back.

## How a round plays

1. Pick the 8-row or 12-row board and your stake.
2. Confirm. The board choice is part of your on-chain bet.
3. The ball drops along the signed path and the landing bin lights up.
4. Whatever the bin pays arrives in your wallet automatically, or instantly via Collect.
