Plinko is a carnival-style game commonly associated with the television game show "The Price Is Right." The game consists of a large vertical board with a pegged grid of slots resembling a pyramid. At the bottom of the board are various prize slots, each with a different value.

Players are typically given a puck or disc, which they drop from the top of the board. As the puck falls, it bounces off the pegs, navigating through the grid in a somewhat unpredictable manner until it eventually lands in one of the slots at the bottom. The slots usually have different prize values, with some offering higher rewards than others.

The objective of Plinko is for players to aim their puck strategically, hoping it will land in a slot with a desirable prize. However, the placement of the pegs creates an element of randomness, making it challenging to predict where the puck will end up. Plinko combines elements of luck and skill, as players try to make calculated decisions about where to drop their puck to maximize their chances of winning a valuable prize.
