Introducing **Plinko**! Players can test their luck and strategy by dropping balls into a peg-filled board, where they randomly land in different reward buckets with various multipliers.

### **How the Plinko Game Works**

The game follows a simple yet thrilling concept:

1. **Choose your bet amount** – Enter the amount of **$AIP** you want to wager per ball.
2. **Select a risk mode** – Choose from three risk levels: **Noob, Normal, and Degen**.
3. **Pick the number of rows** – More rows increase the number of buckets and possible outcomes.
4. **Drop the ball(s)** – The ball bounces through pegs and lands randomly in one of the buckets.
5. **Win based on the multiplier** – Each bucket has a **multiplier** that determines your payout.

### **Risk Modes & Multipliers**

Each **risk mode** determines the range of multipliers available. Higher risk modes offer bigger potential rewards but also higher chances of lower payouts.

### **Row Options & Impact**

The number of rows affects the number of **pegs** and **buckets** available. More rows = more possible landing spots = greater randomness.

* **8 Rows** – Least paths, easier to predict.
* **10 Rows** – Slightly more challenging, wider spread of rewards.
* **12 Rows** – Balanced mix of strategy and randomness.
* **14 Rows** – More chaotic with greater variance.
* **16 Rows** – Maximum unpredictability, widest spread of outcomes.

### **Strategies to Maximize Wins**

Even though the game is based on chance, here are some strategies to improve your odds:

1. **Start with Noob Mode** – Get familiar with the game before increasing risk.
2. **Experiment with Row Settings** – Fewer rows = more predictable; more rows = more randomness.
3. **Use Smaller Bets in Degen Mode** – Stay in the game longer by managing risk.
4. **Drop Multiple Balls at Once** – Helps balance out wins and losses over time.
