During a drive through the Great Rift Valley, boredom nudged me toward my phone, where an ad for a novel pegging challenge popped up. Intrigued by its resemblance to childhood pinball memories at Nairobi’s arcade arcades, I tapped through. My initial attempts felt like tossing stones at Lake Victoria’s waves—predictable but fun. Then, I tested the featured plinko game variant offering cascading bonus rounds. That’s when luck aligned: a big payout cleared my small losses and granted enough for an epic weekend getaway near Mount Kenya.
