In Plinko, multiplier placement follows a gradient pattern. The closer to the center, the more moderate the reward. Extreme values appear near the edges because those paths are statistically less common. Increasing the number of rows widens this distribution even further. As a result, Plinko can shift from balanced to highly volatile simply by adjusting configuration. Understanding this layout reduces confusion during long sessions.
