Was feeling frustrated after a string of bad luck playing poker apps and figured I’d try something new. I remembered seeing an ad earlier about a plinko game, so I decided to give it a shot. The drop mechanics had this weirdly satisfying effect, and the win potential felt way more tangible. I was close to rage-quitting after a few small losses, but then I hit one of the big slots at the bottom—completely flipped my luck. And now I’m hooked again, but in a good way this time.
