Pier Peg Drop — how to play

The basics

Choose 8, 12 or 16 rows of pegs and a risk level, then drop a ball. At every peg the ball bounces left or right with equal chance, and the slot it lands in multiplies your stake. Edge slots are rare and pay the most; middle slots are common and pay less. You can drop several balls at once — each one is its own round.

Fair play

Results come from your browser's Web Crypto random number generator at the moment you play; nothing about your balance, level or earlier rounds changes the odds. For members, each round is booked on our server, which checks it against the paytable limits before updating your balance. Over a very long run, about 94 to 97 Embers of every 100 played come back as wins (standard card and wheel games follow their usual maths), but short sessions vary a lot.

Every game uses Embers or demo credits only. They have no cash value and cannot be bought or exchanged. Practice or success here does not mean future success at real-money gambling. If a game ever stops mid-round, reload the page: a round is only booked when it finishes.
