Title: Plinko board fix
Post by: DoorNumberFour on August 04, 2020, 11:54:34 PM

Dan Berger had the awesome idea of putting rubber bands over the pegs on his Plinko board, which gave it that authentic lattice overlay similar to the show’s board...and also prevents the chips from flying off the board, as they are prone to do with some copies of the game.

I took it a step further and used these clear hair elastics (http://Goody Ouchless Large Clear... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BS6QVN3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) to make a nice lattice over the board. Functional, less visible, and now my board is 100% flyaway-proof*. Figured someone here might want to do the same to theirs :)

*still being tested; no bad drops yet!

Would running Scotch tape along the seam help?

From personal experience, no.
