I was in elementary school when this aired. I remember I would pretend to be sick sometimes so I could stay home and watch the price is right. What fond memories.
I would have been 5 at the time. But I grew up with The Price is Right, and loved every minute of it. But we also had High Rollers, Press Your Luck, $10,000 Pyramid, Tic-Tac-Dough, Family Feud and Monty Hall's Let's Make a Deal, just to name a few wonderful game shows we watched every single day growing up.

I think if a poll was taken, Plinko would overwhelmingly be the most popular TPIR game of all time. And really, there's no plausible strategy in it, just pure luck and fun.
There certainly is a strategy to give yourself the best chance. This strategy is to put the puck in the center of the board as about 22% of the time the puck will end up in the slot straight below where it is dropped. Then about 19% of the time it will be one slot to either side of where it is dropped or 38% it lands in either of these two spots. 12% chance the puck lands 2 slots away 24% it lands in either of these. 6% 3 slots away 12% either, and 4 slots away is about one percent. So there is a strategy to have the best chance to win big. But those odds still aren't great. To hit the max prize 5 times with optimum strategy your odds are less than 1 in 3000. So while the puck in the center gives the best chance to hit the largest amount, There is a 78% chance you will miss it and a 38% chance you land in a 0 space. The odds that this lady's puck would travel that far across the board on her second drop when she placed it that far left are incredibly low. But part of this was because she dropped the puck from so high, it hit the first peg and had a lot of speed to shoot to the right. Hold the puck as low as they will allow in the center of the board to give the best chance.
Drew has done an admirable job, BUT Bob was legendary and smooth as silk, witty, funny and OBVIOUSLY handsome. Even though I am Male, you can tell he's got that look the ladies enjoy looking at 😂😂
I am so glad Pluto TV has the rights to the Barker-era shows. This was always Bob's show and it's just thrilling to be able to watch these episodes again (and feel like a kid again as well!).
@@Wizardof - what he's trying to say is that fortunately Paramount (the maiden company of CBS nowadays) put these full shows so conveniently and easily available on their extensive FREE STREAMER (maybe because they're TOO OLD to put on the PAYWALL of Paramount +, but at least is still better than most shows you could see nowadays on broadcast or cable / satellite).

The only thing better was the debut of the showcase showdown wheel. After the show went to a full hour, they debuted the wheel (which at the time looked more like a carnival wheel). The rules were generally the same minus the green sections for the bonus spin. The first spin was $1.00 on the nose.
I think people kinda freak out now when they see Golden Road revealed as the game because that usually means the end prize is going to be something insane like a $80,000 Porche Boxster or $100,000 Viper ;)
@aDg 2k18 Let's hope for it. But, if the MDS comming back, how much you want it to be for the primetime show ? $100,000 with 5 plinko chips & $1,000,000 with 6 plinko chips.
I was just at a casino in Oklahoma that had a big plinko board, but appeared they only did it during weekends or events. I also use top work for a dealership that had a plinko board to determine your discount on the car
Yeah, Rod Roddy added some extra zing when he would announce that Plinko was the game the contestant would be playing. I remember being happy whenever that would come up.
The 1980s Price Is Right was the best ever and Bob Barker and Rod Roddy were the best combinations ever. You can't replace them if you tried. The stage lights and colors, audience was so perfect, and music was so spectacular. Some of the contestants were so funny.
The only thing I would add-change would be the snazzy colorful suits from when Bob was older. I was a real fan of that blue suit with red tie that really glowed under stage lights.
I wonder what Judy is up to nowadays, and what she did with her $6,500. She seems like a nice person, I was happy to see her win a decent amount of money for 1983.
She is probably in her upper 80s or low 90s (if she is still alive), since this aired 38 years ago and she looked to be in her upper 40s or low 50s when she played Plinko.
Bob Barker was so charming and the greatest game show host. The games were just half the show. Bobs interactions with the contestants was the other part. Snow and sick days from school I always watched
Due to Covid, Fremantle isn't following the classic "audition potential customers while they're standing in line waiting to get in" rule. Right now, you audition via Zoom. I applied last year (mid-2020), got an audition, and one of the questions I was asked was what my favorite pricing game was. The contestant coordinator SPECIFICALLY said "Don't say Plinko! EVERYONE says Plinko!" We had a good laugh about that. My favorite pricing game, incidentally, is Lucky Seven.
My Nana and I watched Bob every day. I remember this episode because I thought how lucky I was to see the debut of a new game. My Nana has been gone 25 years, but this is a cherished memory.
It's interesting they addressed the "stuck chip" on the game's debut. Bob was truly proud to show off his Plinko Stick. If it wasn't nearly impossible to rig this game I'd say that last drop was rigged for the hype... But even if it was rigged, it got me excited for someone who'd already won 40 (!) years ago, so it worked.
I question why the first chip wasn't removed. You'd think that the second chip could have bounced off of the peg and landed in the $1,000 slot. Instead it hit square onto the first chip.
The fact no one cheered when they revealed it.... they didn't know the gem they had... now it get's people on their feet. I've seen Plinko at Amusement Parks to win prizes, it's so much fun
@@coastaku1954 where do you think the Japanese got the idea for pachinko? They took a Bagatelle table and stood it upright and turned a bollard game into a gravity game... there's also flipperless pinball machines with the same idea. Either way, plinko was hardly new even for americans.

When I was a kid my great grandpa & I would watch the Price is Right together on his bed. He would stack 5 pillows behind him & lay only his head on them looking down toward his feet and the TV. We would buy snacks like Hostess Dunkin Sticks & drink a cup of coffee and play along with the show. I think he tried to emulate Bob's style with the slick back hair and nice suits to wear to church. He also had a similar way of speaking. I would give anything to go back to those days & miss him dearly.
Some pricing games are retired now, but we can all agree on one thing. Plinko will never retire.
I haven’t seen plinko be played in years. I think they might of gotten rid of it or only bring it out for special shows like the million dollar one they do.
@@rockslime it’s still played frequently
In fact this game inspired NBC’s The Wall

It gets stuck on a peg very infrequently. I’d say so since this was the first time they ever used this game lol
It's up there with Cliffhanger in my opinion
$25,000 in 1983 is over $66,000 in 2021, adjusted for inflation. This lady won $6500, which is around $17K today.
About half to taxes.
Yep, and the plinko game hasn't kept up with inflation.
Hence why the game is up to a $50,000 maximum prize today
And Plinko is still played to this day.
Indeed👍
So true
I love it too, and now the biggest prize is even bigger!! 😍
My favorite game was Cliffhanger. I don't watch TPIR anymore. Haven't seen Cliffhanger since Bob Barker was hosting.
