Hello folks! In this post I’ll be going over a different variation of gaming in something that you can be interested in playing. If you have ever seen the game show, The Price is Right, chances are that you have seen a contestant play the game of Plinko. That’s the idea of this posting as I am going to promote a similar product that you can play at the comfort of your own home.
It’s called, the Portable Plinko Board Game by BiGe. Though, you wouldn’t be playing for large prizes as compared to the game show. I thought that you might enjoy playing this product, and you can even go through what the contestants were experiencing when the drop the chips down the chute. I found this product on Amazon, and it retails for $140.50 + $19.47 shipping.

I enjoy watching the video in your post. The girl is really exciting in playing Plinko and wins her prize. In many Asian countries’ night market, people play Plinko to win a prize which value may range from $5-50. Each time you maybe need to pay one dollar or two dollars to play. It always brings kids a lot of fun.
It is also a bit like pinball, very interesting. I agree with what William said Plinko Board will be a good break for a party. The winner can get a prepared gift.
I also like to play 9 balls and fourteen one since I was a boy. Looking for the more related interesting post.

Hi George! Thank you for stopping by my post and leaving a comment. I feel like it’s quite a thrill to win a prize in all games on The Price is Right as all games seem to have a certain degree of difficulty to win ANY prize. I am interested to play that Asian version of Plinko. By the way, I was wondering if you can tell me what those $5-$50 dollar prizes are. I am curious to know. Hopefully, I can win the big prize.
To me, the second best part of Plinko is that it resembles the bouncing off walls and pins which mimics the movement in pinball. The absolute best part of the game is winning the ultimate prize which is also the hardest part of the game. The game can be suspenseful too.
Once again, I am appreciative of you stopping by my site. Feel free to comment on anything on this site as I look forward to hearing from you again. Cheers!

I kinda forgot about Plinko and the Price is Right. When I watched that video it sure looks like fun. Of course, I don’t expect to win $30,000 but what a fun video.
I think the game would make a great ice breaker for a party, like you get a chip when you first come in the door and you play Plinko as your first activity at the party. I’m thinking that would be something I’d do so people who didn’t know each other would instantly have something in common. I appreciate you including the negative review, just so I know. You’d think that for $140 it would be good quality. Thanks for the fun review

Hello William! After seeing many people play Plinko on The Price is Right, I don’t recall anyone ever winning the $30,000. Maybe $15K at best. You’re right in saying that this is good ice breaker to have between 2 or more people to interact with each other at a party. That gave me an idea on doing that if I or anyone that I know to throw a party. I thank you for stopping by and posting on this review. I always try to put forth my honest reviews in regards to billiards and gaming on this site. Feel free to stop by anytime and comment on anything that you find interesting on this site. I look forward to hearing from you again. Cheers!
