I was in Budapest for the weekend and overheard two guys at a café talking about how they set up their own winning streak on plinko. Curiosity won, so I gave it a try with small, safe bets. The board layout instantly reminded me of the retro arcade machines we had as kids. At first, I had a couple of low catches, but then the ball bounced perfectly into one of the higher multipliers. That feeling was worth the patience, and I walked away with a tidy profit before heading to the Danube promenade for the evening lights.
