Interesting spin on your show. It's a cool idea and now Bonus points. 1:07 the guy pressing his luck is Micheal Larson. the one and only person to break the game. 1:44 is that a Lavern and Shirley reference?

In regards to Plinko, odds of hitting the middle slot is not the whole story. What you should be really asking is, what is the "expected value" (average amount of money won) for each starting slot? And since the ending slots immediately adjacent to the middle are zeroes, this analysis might actually reveal that slot 5 is not the best choice, though I'm too lazy to crunch the numbers myself and find out.
