One evening in Port Elizabeth, I was browsing an entertainment blog when I saw a mention of a simple drop game, prompting me to search and find plinko game online. Playing from my Durban hostel’s shared Wi-Fi, I experienced no lag, which surprised me given the load. I decided to place a few cautious wagers after recalling arcade visits in Pretoria. By the end of the night, I managed to cover losses accumulated during a weekend in Johannesburg. It felt as satisfying as catching a perfect wave in Jeffrey’s Bay.
