At 21:53:36 UTC on September 22 a $666 Plinko ball from roxy888 dropped into the 83.67x slot. Twenty-three seconds later the next big one landed in the 625.03x slot, the top of the board. A $665.86 stake came back as $416,180.
Three and a half hours later it happened again. At 01:28:16 on September 23, another $665.87 drop hit 625.03x for $416,192. It was their second 625x of the night, and it landed 32 seconds after the last of six 83x hits in eight and a half minutes.
The numbers they like
Almost every stake is a repeated digit. Of the 2,167 drops we recorded, 1,266 were for $666, 360 for $667, 263 for $777, 97 for $555 and 45 for $333. They drop fast, too: 54 balls in the single minute from 01:19 to 01:20 UTC.
The board they play pays 0.2x or 0.5x when the ball lands near the edges, and 3x, 8x, 27x, 83x and 625x as it gets closer to the middle. Between the two nights, 99 of their recorded drops paid about 27x (roughly $18,100 each on a $666 stake) and 11 paid about 83x (roughly $55,700).
Eight minutes before the second one
The second jackpot came at the end of the hottest stretch we saw. Between 01:19:17 and 01:27:44 on September 23, roxy888 hit 83.67x six times, each one worth about $55,000 on a $666 stake. Thirty-two seconds after the sixth, the 625x landed.
