Pragmatic Play Releases Triple Pot Plinko Hercules Slot with a Plinko-Based Bonus
On May 14, Pragmatic Play released its new slot Triple Pot Plinko Hercules. The game is set in ancient Greek mythology, while its central feature is a bonus round built around the Plinko mechanic. The slot's stated RTP is 96.55%.
Triple Pot Plinko Hercules combines the classic video slot format with an arcade-style bonus mechanic. In the base game, players land combinations on the reels, while coloured scatters can randomly trigger the bonus round with one or several modifiers.
The key part of the game is the Plinko bonus, where balls drop down a pyramid and land in multiplier baskets. This mechanic is also available as a separate game mode, without waiting for it to launch randomly through the main slot.
The modifiers are tied to coloured scatter symbols:
· the blue scatter adds up to 20 Plinko balls;
· the red scatter applies multipliers of up to x100 to random balls;
· the green scatter increases the multipliers of random baskets at the base of the pyramid up to x100.
According to reviews, the slot uses a 5-reel, 3-row format, offers 243 ways to win, has low volatility, and can pay up to 10,000x the bet.
The main focus of the release is not just the mythological theme with Hercules, but an attempt to make Plinko a full-fledged part of the slot. Thanks to the coloured scatters, the bonus can launch in different ways: sometimes with more balls, sometimes with boosted multipliers, and sometimes with several modifiers at once. That makes the game more varied than a regular slot with a single standard free spins round.
