Special Plinko Spaces[]

Plinko Stand[]

Here's a wide shot. As usual, after a chip is dropped, it's placed in the same tray the free chip was placed in prior to the pandemic.

Here's a close-up shot. FYI, the chips from the podiums are used for display for the time being.

1st Look, January 3, 1983 (#4741D)-January 16, 1991 (#7873D)[]

And here's the proof to Plinko's greatest playing ever, from November 30, 1990 (#7815D). This image is only available in black and white, unfortunately.

2nd Look, February 1, 1991 (#7895D)-August 23, 2010 (#5221K, aired out-of-order on August 27)[]

Here is the next look of Plinko. Notice the Plexiglass cover and extra rail on the stairs.

And the updated Prize Posts that go with it.

Here's the updated font too. $500 was just hit.

What everybody wants to hit in the old days and here it is lit up.

"It used to be $5,000..." (October 15, 1998, #0854K)

"...Now it is $10,000!" (October 15, 1998, #0854K)

Later shows have contestants play for up to $50,000 thanks to the $10,000 space.

And here it is lit up.

This is from the nighttime shows, where the top prize was doubled to $20,000. And here it is lit up.

Current Look (September 24, 2010-present, #5235K)[]

This is what Plinko looks like these days.

And here's the cool new reveal to go with it.

And even cooler transition graphic: an animated Plinko board with multiple Plinko chips falling.

And an even better looking LED Plinko sign that finally lights up and flashes.

Not too much difference in the updated Prize Posts.

Same fonts, new look.

What everybody wants to hit, and here it is lit up.

Yes, this is from daytime. This is just from a special week brought to us by Publishers Clearing House, where the top prize goes up by $20,000 each time it was not hit.
