Pine of Plinko 2 Slot Review

Pine of Plinko 2 Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The Pine of Plinko 2 slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. Wins are formed by matching 3 or symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, beginning from reel 1. Only the highest win is paid per line.

Stakes range from just 10p up to £50 per spin. Catering to low and high-stakes players, use the buttons on either side of the bet value next to the real to adjust your total bet. You can also select the bet size shown and choose from 14 predefined values. Non-UK players also have the option to set up to 1,000 autospins.

The Pine of Plinko 2 RTP is 96.32% at UK casinos. This is different if you’re outside the UK, though, as the Scatter Boost and Buy Bonus features are available, which offer different RTP rates. More on that further down in the review.

In terms of volatility, the game is in the high range and has been given a 4 out of 5 rating by the provider. The hit frequency is 18.34%, which means that just under a fifth of all spins on average will result in a winner. This is a little on the low side compared to a lot of other slots on the market. But it’s higher than the previous Pine of Plinko Dream Drop slot, which was 18.19%.

The maximum win is 20,000 x the bet, which is generous. Your best chance of landing the top prize will come in the Plinko Bonus feature due to each ball awarding prizes up to 1,000x. the max win probability is 1 in 28 million.

Theme – back to the treetops

The Pine of Plinko 2 slot game takes us back to the treetops, but this time it’s winter and cold. The visuals are crisp, with light snow falling as you spin the reels. I like the symbol animations too when a winner lands as it adds another element to the gameplay. It’s simple but effective.

The soundtrack is upbeat and jovial, which fits very well with the overall theme. It’s also completely different to the original slot, which is nice to see as you notice a distinct difference with everything. Sometimes a follow-up slot is too similar in terms of looks and audio, so it’s great that this one isn’t. I don’t think it’s any coincidence either that there’s a winter theme when the release date is the 7th of December 2023. Just in time for Christmas.

Land the Plinko Bonus feature and the reel move inside the treetop house. the visuals are great and the audio is faster, adding extra excitement and intensity to the gameplay. The way the whole bonus feature plays out is fantastic.

On the reels, the different coloured snowflakes make up the lower-paying symbols. The higher-paying symbols are the frozen-looking gnomes – Waley (blue), Coney (green), Kingly (red) and Piney. Piney is the most lucrative symbol, paying 2, 10 or 200 x the bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. The symbol payouts match the original slot, so there’s no difference there.

There’s no Wild in the game. the Scatter is a frozen and framed Plinko ball, and 3 or more of those will trigger the main bonus feature. the number on the Scatter indicates how many drops you could get and that number goes up to a maximum of 99. Here’s a list of the symbols you’ll come across in the game and the payout information for each one:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Green Snowflake	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 2 x stake
Yellow Snowflake	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 2 x stake
Purple Snowflake	3, 4 or 5 = 0.3, 0.6 or 3 x stake
Waley	3, 4 or 5 = 0.6, 1 or 10 x stake
Coney	3, 4 or 5 = 1, 2 or 20 x stake
Kingly	3, 4 or 5 = 1.2, 4 or 50 x stake
Piney	3, 4 or 5 = 2, 10 or 200 x stake
Scatter	3+ triggers Plinko Bonus feature

Pine of Plinko 2 Mobile

Created using the latest HTML5 technology, the Pine of Plinko 2 mobile slot can be played on mobiles, tablets and/or desktops. As with all Print Studios slots, it’s been created with mobile play in mind. It’s compatible with Android and iOS and plays really well on smaller screens.

Pine of Plinko 2 Bonus Features

There are 5 bonus features to enjoy in the Pine of Plinko 2 slot. The main one is the Plinko Bonus feature where you can enjoy up to 256 balls per drop. Then you’ve got Bumper Buckets and Golden ball pockets that could elevate your potential wins. Scatter Rerolls and Bonus Buys are also possible but only for non-UK players. Let’s run you through everything so that you fully understand all of the bonus features.

Scatter Re-roll feature

Before we go on to explain the Plinko Bonus feature, it’s important to understand what happens when you land 3 or more Scatters to trigger it. In the UK, you’d simply head to the bonus feature, but if you’re a non-UK player, you’ll have the chance to roll again for a certain cost on each individual Scatter. If the number’s already too high, you won’t have the chance to roll again. This gives you the chance to start the Plinko Bonus feature with more starting drops.

Plinko Bonus feature

Once you’ve triggered this bonus feature, you will start with however many drops you received from the Scatters. You will see the total number of balls available to the right of the reels, as shown in the screenshot above where it says ’30’.

All you do is hit the button to release a ball. hit the button 30 times to release all 30 from the example above. You’ll also notice a meter at the top. Fill this meter to progress to the next level. Each new level will award 10 more drops and will also double the amount of balls on a single drop up to a maximum of 256. Each hit on a bumper will increase the meter.

I mentioned Bumper Buckets and Golden Balls above, but what do they do?

• Bumper Buckets – This activates randomly at the start of any level. Ball falling into the Bumper Buckets will bounce back up, allowing for more chances to increase the meter.
• Golden Ball – This also activates randomly on any level. Land a ball in one of the Golden Pockets to trigger a Golden Ball drop. This ball gives you the chance to win up to 10,000x.

Before we begin to summarise the slot, it’s important to note that non-UK players can buy the Plinko Bonus feature for 92 x the bet. The Bonus Buy RTP is 96.5%.

Pine of Plinko 2 Review Summary – a superb sequel

While the theme and the audio are different from the original, the bonus features and the gameplay are essentially the same. But that’s OK as it was fantastic before, so why change it? They’ve actually added Bumper Buckets and Golden Balls, which takes it to new heights. I really enjoyed the Plinko Bonus feature and it’s up there as one of the best bonus features around in my opinion.

The above-average RTP rate is a plus, and so too is the max win potential of 20,000 x the bet, which is double the original game. But if I had to mention a slight negative in an otherwise fantastic slot then it’s the hit rate. The hit rate is low at 18.34%, and I must admit that there were times in the base game when I was just spinning away with no luck whatsoever. The base game can become boring after a short while. This game is all about the bonus features.

Overall, this is a great slot to play, and once you land the chaotic Plinko Bonus feature, anything can happen. Don’t hesitate to try our free Pine of Plinko 2 demo and decide for yourself.
