Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Rival Gaming’s Plunk Oh.
This miniature, three-reel title has a game show theme – players can be featured guests on this program, with glamorous prizes ready to be one.
There’s something downright clever about a game where players are placed in the role of fictional players in a different, fictional game. But an appreciation for this level of irony is not necessary in order to enjoy what this title has to offer.
In addition to a luxe aesthetic and simple, streamlined structure, players can hope to unlock the wild triple multiplier, with its jackpot payout of 450 times the bet size.
Theme
As far as game shows go, this one is a far cry from the bookishness of Jeopardy! or the adventuresome vibes of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?…
… in Plunk Oh, it’s all about a life of luxury!
The curiously-named game show is as fancy as things come. The reels might as well be made of gold! Gaming symbols include red sports cars, white yachts, green motorcycles, stacks of cash, gold watches, tickets to a tropic getaway, and jewelry of diamond and gold.
This title’s most important symbol, though…
… is the Plunk Oh symbol. It acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations while adding a triple win multiplier to all wins with which it’s involved. What’s more, they also offer this game’s top payout at 450x for three-of-a-kind.
The bright lights of the television studio shine in the background to the reels, lending a touch of realistic representation to an otherwise fantastical visual design.

Our Take
The three-reel mini-slot is a tough area for most designers, and many online gamers.
On the one hand, the whole point of a smaller-scale game is a simple, streamlined structure that is leaner than full-scale titles. This often means few or no bonus features.
On the other hand, when a modern video slot is released without any bonus features, every other element of gaming must be extraordinary in order for the game to stand a chance.
Rival gives a great effort here, and the result is certainly worth exploring, but there are some areas for improvement. Chief among these is RTP, which is lower than we’d like.
