Neon Plinko

# Neon Plinko

A neon-synthwave plinko gamble. Drop balls through a field of glowing cyan pegs into a row of scoring slots, but the twist is  the betting layer: before each drop, tap the slot you think the ball will land in to stake credits on your prediction. Hit it and the slot's score gets multiplied up to ×6; miss and your wager's gone.

## How it works 

• You start with 20 credits. Each drop costs 1.
• Slots score 2 → 100 points — center slots are easy targets, corner slots are jackpot rolls.                             
•   High-tier slots (30+ pts) also refund credits, so good aim keeps you in the game.                                                                                                                                           

 ### The bet  

•  Tap a slot to stake a credit on it (the slot lights up "BET ×2").                                                         
•  Tap again to stack the wager — up to **×6** payout.                                                                       
•   Tap a different slot to switch — the prior wager is refunded in full.                                                     
•    Drop a ball. If it lands in your bet slot:  Score gain = `slot_score × multiplier` (a ×6 bet on the 100-slot pays +600 pts) 
•  Credit refund = `(base_refund + wager) × multiplier` (up to +42 credits)
•  If it lands anywhere else → BUST, wager is lost.
•  Betting is locked while balls are falling. Wait for the playfield to drain, then bet again.
