  "game": {
    "name": "Plinko",
    "provider": "BGaming",
    "game_kind": "instant_win / build-your-own-paytable drop game (NOT a reel slot)",
    "theme": "Abstract / no narrative theme. Purely mechanical presentation: a decorative pale sunburst-and-fern ornament (a stylised feather/plant motif in a slightly lighter shade of blue than the background) sits behind the round-history table on the left; the rest of the screen is functional UI. No characters, no storyline imagery.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 21 manifest screenshots at 1280x800 plus zoomed crops of the peg board, bucket rows and risk-level control.",
    "method_notes": "This is a physics/probability drop game, structurally unrelated to reel slots: there are no reels, paylines, ways, symbols, wilds, scatters or a conventional paytable grid of symbol icons. All numeric multiplier tables were captured directly from the game UI (27 risk x row-count combinations) and are reproduced verbatim below, not recomputed. RTP is quoted verbatim from the in-game rules booklet as a range, not invented as a single number.",
    "language": "English",
    "critical_terminology_note": "The on-screen control column to the right of the peg board is labelled 'Lines' with a vertical list of values 8-16, and the in-game rules text itself says 'Choose the number of Lines in the game: from 8 to 16' - but this value is NOT a count of paylines (this game has no paylines/ways at all). It is the number of ROWS OF PEGS in the triangular board, which directly sets the number of payout buckets at the bottom (buckets = rows + 1). Documentation/screen-reader scripts should announce this control as 'number of peg rows (8-16)', not 'paylines', to avoid misleading players who are used to line-based slots."

  "color_palette": {
    "background": "Vertical gradient split across the screen: upper-left and top area is a lighter teal/cyan-blue, transitioning diagonally to a darker navy blue in the mid-screen and finally to a dark purple/violet in the lower-right corner where the betting panel sits. The gradient is smooth, no hard edges.",
    "decorative_motif": "A large, very low-contrast pale blue fern/sunburst ornament behind the left-hand history table - decorative only, not interactive, barely visible against the background.",
    "logo": "'PLINKO' wordmark top-center in a bold, rounded font with an orange-to-yellow gradient fill and a thin dark-brown outline; a small pink dot with a swirl of small dots/dashes floats above the letters (decorative sparkle, resembling the pink game ball). Below the wordmark, small pale grey-blue capitalized text reads 'BGAMING' (studio credit) with a tiny pink circular icon before the 'B'.",
    "top_bar_icons": "Four identical-style round buttons, top-right, in a horizontal row: white circular outline on a dark navy fill, each containing a white line-art glyph: (1) a medal/ribbon with a star (opens the Provability panel), (2) a clock face with a small curved refresh arrow (no visible effect when clicked in this build - see anomalies), (3) a question mark '?' (opens the rules booklet), (4) a speaker/megaphone with sound waves (opens the sound settings panel).",
    "history_table": "Left side of the screen, always visible (not a modal): column headers 'Time', 'Bet', 'Payout', 'Profit' in bold white text with a thin white underline. Rows below list each completed round in white/light-grey text, except the 'Profit' value which is shown inside a small rounded cyan/teal-blue highlight pill - this pill is present regardless of whether profit is positive or negative, so on its own it is not a win/loss color signal (see accessibility note below).",
    "peg_board": "White circular pegs (small dots with a subtle drop shadow) on the gradient blue background, arranged in a triangular/pyramid pattern. The ball drop chute at the apex is a dark navy/near-black circle with a soft glow ring.",
    "ball": "Bright pink/magenta sphere with a glossy white highlight near the top-left of the ball and a soft dark shadow beneath - the ball in flight leaves a short trail of small pink dots/particles behind it (motion trail).",
    "bucket_gradient": "The row of multiplier buckets beneath the board is color-coded by multiplier size using a red -> orange -> yellow -> green gradient (colors are also always paired with the printed multiplier number, so the game is not color-only): the two outermost (edge) buckets carry the highest multiplier of the current table and are colored red on High risk (orange/red-orange on Normal, yellow-green on Low, since Low never reaches red-tier values); moving inward the color cools through orange and yellow; the center bucket(s), which carry the lowest multiplier (often below 1x, i.e. a partial loss), are colored green. Each bucket is a small rounded pill/tag shape with the multiplier printed in black bold text (e.g. 'x1000', 'x0.2').",
    "risk_level_panel": "Purple/violet rounded panel labelled 'Risk Level' with three stacked rows, each with a small icon + label: 'High' (flame/fire-drop icon), 'Normal' (coffee-cup icon), 'Low' (tall drinking-cup icon). The currently selected risk is highlighted with a solid magenta/pink rounded rectangle behind its icon and white bold text; the two unselected options sit on the plain dark-purple panel background with light lavender/grey text and a muted icon.",
    "bet_and_play_controls": "Bottom-right cluster on a purple panel: a large circular orange/gold 'PLAY' button (white glossy top-left highlight, orange-to-gold radial gradient, bold orange 'PLAY' text) at the center; to its left a bet-amount stepper with square 'Min' and '-' buttons flanking the bold white 'Bet X.XX FUN' readout, and small square '+' and 'Max' buttons to the right of the readout; below everything, centered, pale lavender-grey text 'Balance X,XXX.XX FUN'. A 'Bet Mode' panel to the right of PLAY offers 'Manual' (letter M icon) and 'Auto' (letter A icon) toggle buttons in the same magenta-selected/grey-unselected style as Risk Level.",
    "colorblind_summary": "All state distinctions in this game (selected risk level, selected bet mode, disabled bet buttons, bucket multiplier tiers) are backed by a SECOND non-color cue: selection also changes background fill shape (pill highlight) and icon; disabled buttons are also greyed/desaturated AND non-interactive; every bucket carries its multiplier as printed text regardless of its gradient color. No information in this game is conveyed by color alone."

  "game_structure": {
    "type": "Plinko / peg-drop instant-win game. NOT a reel slot: no reels, rows-of-symbols, paylines, ways, clusters, wilds, scatters, bonus symbols or a conventional symbol paytable exist in this game.",
    "board": "A single vertical triangular board of pegs, drawn as a pyramid widening from a single ball-drop chute at the apex down to a full-width row of pegs at the bottom. The player-selectable 'Lines' value (8-16, mislabelled - see critical_terminology_note) sets how many staggered rows of pegs are drawn; the board redraws immediately when the value changes.",
    "buckets": "A horizontal row of payout buckets sits directly beneath the bottom row of pegs. The number of buckets always equals rows + 1 (verified on all 27 captured combinations: e.g. 8 rows = 9 buckets, 16 rows = 17 buckets). Each bucket shows a multiplier value that is applied to the player's total bet if the ball lands in it.",
    "risk_levels": "Three selectable risk levels: Low, Normal, High. Changing risk level redraws the bucket multiplier row (same peg board) with a different, more extreme (higher edge / lower center) or more moderate spread of multipliers. Default on game load is Low risk, 8 rows.",
    "symmetry": "Every multiplier table is left-right symmetrical around the center bucket(s) (odd row-count gives one exact center bucket, even row-count gives two identical central buckets) - confirmed on all 27 combinations in the tables below.",
    "trend": "The higher the risk level and/or the more rows selected, the more extreme the spread becomes: edge-bucket multipliers grow much larger (up to x1000 at High risk / 16 rows) while center-bucket multipliers shrink toward, and below, 1x (down to x0.2), meaning a ball landing near the middle of a High-risk, many-row board returns less than the stake was."

This is the highest multiplier printed anywhere in the game and was never physically hit during capture, because the binomial probability of the ball reaching an edge bucket at 16 rows is only about 2 x (1/2)^16, roughly 0.003% per drop - not realistically catchable in a reasonable number of drops.

The gameplay is simple as it is: the player chooses from 8 to 16 rows, hoping the ball would fall into one of the chosen holes with the best payment, and just watches the 'bouncing process through the obstacles' from the top of the pyramid down the board bottom. The ball eventually ends up at the bottom peg and determines the prize. So welcome to the Plinko's plinkily intricate system, trust your luck and let the ball fall!\"",

When the minimum amount is reached, the buttons '-' and 'Min' become disabled. Choose the Risk Level: Low, Normal or High. Choose the number of Lines in the game: from 8 to 16. Choose the Bet Mode: Manual or Auto. To start the game round press the Play button. All betting buttons become inactive at the time of the round except for Bet Mode. During the round, another round with the same settings using the Play button can be started. At the end of each round the ball reaches the pocket. The numbers displayed in each pocket represent multiplier values. The multiplier of the pocket, where the ball landed, is applied to the player's bet. The final payout is calculated by multiplying the player's bet by all the applicable multiplier values. In Auto Mode, the field with the number of automatic bets is shown. Choose the number of bets. Press Play button. The button Play is changing to Stop with the number of remained bets. A series of rounds can be completed if the number of rounds set is reached, by clicking on the button Stop, if there are not enough funds on the balance.\"",
