About Pinata Plaza
Pinata Plaza is the first of our two ways-to-win games and the one that shows the format off best. Five reels, three rows, and a plaza strung end to end with pinatas in every colour the printer had.
There are no paylines. A win is any run of matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, in any row — three rows across five reels gives 243 combinations. In practice it means you stop scanning for a line and start watching the left edge: if reels one, two and three all show a pinata, you have already won something, wherever on the grid they happen to sit.
It is the highest-volatility game on the site. The quiet stretches are quieter and the loud ones are much louder, which suits a plaza full of things designed to be hit with a stick.

What the Merrymakers say about Pinata Plaza — illustrative notes, written by us
Swingy. Long quiet runs, then a screen full of pinatas. Worth it for the screen full.
The wild landing on the middle three reels at once is the best moment on this site.
Pinata Plaza — questions
What does 243 ways mean?
There are no paylines. A win is any run of matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, in any row — three rows across five reels gives 243 combinations. Every one of those 243 combinations is live on every spin, and there is nothing to switch on.
Is it better than a game with paylines?
Neither is better — they distribute virtual coins differently. Ways games pay smaller amounts more often and read more easily, since you never have to trace a line. Both kinds are free and both use the same currency.
What is the plaza meter I keep hearing about?
There is no meter and no progressive prize on this site. Pinata Plaza is a straightforward 243-ways game with a wild and free spins, and nothing accumulates between sessions except your own balance.
