Nah, thats the easy part.  Lay a piece of pegboard over your baseplate.  Choose which holes fit your pattern.  Drill.

ideas sound excellent thus far... I intend on using quarters as the "plinko".  Quarter goes in, and if it lands in the right box (triggering a microswitch), you win a prize....
I'll have to check out gambling laws in certain states but I think it can be successful.

On another note, I suck at making things (I couldn't freeze water if I tried) so assistance will be greatly appreciated. I can get any/all materials. PM me if interested.

I don't think it would be considered gambling, more along the lines of a claw game, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't... :dunno

im not sure rubber would work.. i think that would actual rob a lot of energy from the quarter, i would use some stiff plastic.. can you buy plastic rods?

i think the plastic pegs would not only give you the "plink" you're looking for but also due to it's springy nature give some bounce to the coin.
