The recent surge of Plinko style games continues and long may it last! From the humble beginnings of Hacksaws simple but volatile “Plinko – Dare 2 Win” in the UK, the much loved Japanese style game has started to evolve nicely, with various new features and options starting to come to the market. “Pearl o’ Plinko” Fire and Bones takes this to the next level, with actual bonus rounds, levels and even bonus buys if you please! (not available in the UK of course). There’s even an extra bonus chance bet which can be used to increase your chance to spin into the bonus features!
However, as much as we have a creative and fun Plinko game here in Pearl o’ Plinko Fire and Bones, the only reservation I have is that the multiplier values are seriously poor and it does take the edge off from what could have been a really good game. However unlikely a big multiplier needs to be, a Plinko game without some kind of “Jackpot” or 1000x multiplier is a missed opportunity and for this reason, the game losses some points.
