With a winter theme, the Pine of Plinko 2 slot is the sequel to Pine of Plinko Dream Drop and takes you back to the treetops but it’s now covered in snow.

Join gnomes in this treetop wonderland which is gentle, inviting and perfect for the Christmas period. With the reels set at the front of a snow-capped wooden cottage where the gnomes reside, the soundtrack is pleasant, upbeat and warming.

On the reels, you’ll see 3 differently-coloured snowflakes which are low in value. Then you will see Waley, Coney, Kingly and Piney gnomes who look cold to be fair. The Piney gnome symbol is the highest paying awarding 200 times your total bet for 5 across a payline. A screen full of Piney symbols will result in a 2,000 times bet payout.

With no wild symbols, Pine of Plinko 2 comes with a Scatter symbol which is key to triggering the Plinko Bonus feature. Below is a list of all symbol payouts and functions:

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

Pine of Plinko 2 Mobile

Print Studios slots are created with HTML5 technology. This means their games, alongside Pine of Plinko 2, are compatible with laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices. If you’re a smartphone player, there is a Portrait Mode which appears when playing on an iOS or Android mobile device. For the full visual experience, a larger screen would be my preference.

Pine of Plinko 2 comes with 1 main bonus feature but there is a Scatter Re-Roll and 2 bonus buy elements for non-UK players. All about the Plinko Bonus feature, you drop Plinko Balls in order to win cash prizes. If you hit the bumpers, you’ll progress through the levels for more drops and prizes. Bumper Buckets keep your balls alive with Golden Ball drops worth up to 10,000 x bet.

Plinko Bonus

The Plinko Bonus feature is triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The amount of starting drops is the sum of the numbers on the Scatters. Non-UK players can make use of the Scatter Boost feature for 2 times your total bet. Doubling your chance of triggering the feature, the RTP rate also rises to 96.42%.

Once in, the total number of drops appears to the right of the screen on the desktop version or below the action on mobile devices. Then you release the Plinko balls where you aim to hit the bumpers enough to get the clockwork gnome to smack his hammer and fill the meter at the top of the screen.

If you fill the meter, you move onto the next level where you’ll get 10 extra drops and double the amount of balls on a single drop up to 256. The balls then fall down into gaps at the bottom which award a bet multiplier prize. Prizes can reach up to 1,000 times your total bet.

Furthermore, you need to look out for Golden Balls and Bumper Buckets:

• Golden Ball: Randomly awarded on any level, landing a Plinko ball in 1 of the Golden Pockets will award a Golden Ball drop. These balls give you the chance to win up to 10,000 times your total bet.
• Bumper Buckets: Also randomly activated at the beginning of any level, a Plinko ball falling into a Bumper Bucket will bounce straight back up allows for the bumpers to be hit in order to fill the meter.

The feature ends when there are no more drops left. Players outside the UK can buy their way into the Plinko Bonus feature for 94 times your total bet. The Feature Bet as it’s known see the RTP rate increase to 96.5%.

The Pine of Plinko 2 slot is a different game to the original, visually. Set in a wintry wonderland, the base game is pretty mundane. The focus is on the Plinko Bonus feature where you aim to hit the bumpers as many times as possible to fill the meter and move through the levels.

With Bumper Buckets making balls bounce straight back up, Golden Pockets will see Golden Ball drops which are worth up to 10,000 times your total bet. The key, in my opinion, is starting the feature with lots of balls which in turn fill the meter more easily in each level.

With 20,000 times bet max wins, Pine of Plinko 2 comes with a higher-than-average 96.32% RTP rate which is good. The win potential is double that is the first game but there is no progressive jackpot.

Overall, the Pine of Plinko 2 slot is a unique game which can set you on a path to Plinko heaven if you get enough drops and work your way through the levels. I found the biggest wins to come from the Golden Ball drops which don’t land often at all.
