Theoretical analysis: comparison between old and new Plinko

[irawk0 235]

Assumption: 65536 x 100 or 6,553,600 rolls. (for easier calculation) Base bet each time: 10 satoshi Starting bankroll: 65,536,000 satoshi

=============================

Old Plinko payout: 1000x 130x 26x 9x 4x 2x 0.2x 0.2x 0.2x 0.2x 0.2x 2x 4x 9x 26x 130x 1000x

Result: 200 (1000x), 3,200 (130x), 24,000 (26x), 112,000 (9x), 364,000 (4x), 873,600 (2x), 5,176,600 (0.2x) = total of 6,553,600 rolls

End balance: +2,000,000 +4,160,000 +6,240,000 +10,080,000 +14,560,000 +17,472,000 +10,353,200

Final result = 64,865,200 satoshi, overall losing 670,800 satoshi or 1.0235% house edge

=============================

New Plinko payout: 5000x 139x 30x 10x 4x 2x 0x 0x 0x 0x 0x 2x 4x 10x 30x 139x 5000x

Result: 200 (5000x), 3,200 (139x), 24,000 (30x), 112,000 (10x), 364,000 (4x), 873,600 (2x), 5,176,600 (0x) = total of 6,553,600 rolls

End balance: +10,000,000 +4,448,000 +7,200,000 +11,200,000 +14,560,000 +17,472,000 +0

Final result = 64,880,000 satoshi, overall losing 656,000 satoshi or almost exactly 1% house edge

=============================

TLDR: Assuming everything is statistically accurate it's actually very very slightly more profitable playing Plinko now. 

If I messed up on any math please let me know thank you

Based on the fundamentals of Binomial Expansion, here is the probability of how likely you are to land in each of the outcomes listed on 16 pin Plinko.

1  •  16  •  120  •  560  •  1820  •  4368  •  8008  •  11440  •  12870  •  11440  •  8008  •  4368  •  1820  •  560  •  120  •  16  •  1

Total = 65536
Odds of 1000x = 2 / 65536 = 1 / 32768

Thank you for posting this, and taking the time to run these simulations. I'm glad to hear that the new plinko is a bit more fair

It's just naked math man. Real fact is: if you didn't hit edge tile quick(losses=base bet*edge tile X) you won't get any profit. Plus now with 0x you busting 2-3x faster, making this game tough af 😕

Ive yet to see profit  just busting hahaha. and ya that may be for a few, but for most players here that 0.0x is a nightmare.. interesting breakdown though! thanks for your theory, i still believe even with having higher multiplier, is not worth the bombardment of 0.0x in high percentage.. most players will just bust even before they get a chance to hitting anything of value.. and even if they did.. the cycle of 0.0x will eat it up again.. so unless the players has a huge bankroll, more often than not, it will always result to bust.

thankyou for posting this when i hawe bigger balance this will help me a lot.

[polor12 192]

wait new plinko pay outs..5000x nice but i see 0's...ok higher payout...but who ever going for it  0x is there instead 0.2x.. is there a higher chance getting those multiples...seeing it drop to 0 would hurt a lot..

[maverick528 748]

The difference now is that the "swings" in profit are bigger.

If several balls in a row hit now the center pockets, your balance goes down very quickly.

To say it in a few words, you win more now when you hit the top multiplier of any plinko configuration, but you need a bigger balance cause the losses in the way to reaching that big multiplier can be bigger than before.

 

[xtinepink 850]

I agree with the need of bigger bankroll, although there are some people who are lucky enough to hit it with few rolls and I can see that there are already many people who hit 5000x.
