Lucky Plinko Drop
Tap to drop a coin into a Plinko board, time the release to bank in the highest slot.
Tap-and-hold to aim the coin trajectory above the pegs; release to drop. Coin bounces off pegs and lands in a payout slot. Best slot = jackpot, worst slot = bust.
One thumb: tap and drag horizontally to position the drop, release to drop the coin.
