Stake Originals: Crash, Dice, Limbo & Provably Fair

Stake Originals game rules, house edge and ways to verify results

Stake builds 31 titles in-house, and Stake Crash is the best known of them: a multiplier climbs until it crashes, and you decide when to take the money. Every title publishes its house edge, from 0.57% on Blackjack to 1% on Crash or Dice. Each round can be checked afterwards with the provably fair tools built into the site. Join a Crash round now and verify it yourself once it ends.

Stake Originals game rules, house edge and ways to verify results

What Stake Originals Are

These games come from Stake’s own studio and are found only at Stake. Four things set them apart from third-party slots: rules you learn in one round, a house edge printed in the game info, results you can verify after the fact and a demo mode on almost every title. Most of the shelf runs at a 99% RTP, and Mines and Dice regularly post the highest live player counts in the whole lobby. Dice and Mines also offer an auto mode with Stop on Profit and Stop on Loss, so you can cap a session before it starts.

The 31 titles fall into five groups:

In-house games include multiplier rounds, number draws, boards and card games
  • Multiplier games: Crash and Limbo, plus Slide;
  • Number games: Dice and Primedice, with Keno or Wheel built on a random draw;
  • Board games: Mines and Plinko, plus Diamonds or Dragon Tower;
  • Card and table games: Blackjack and Hilo next to Baccarat, Roulette or Video Poker, each with a published edge;
  • Newer titles: Chicken and Pump among more than ten recent releases, mostly at a 2% edge.

How Stake Crash Works

The crash game at Stake is a shared round: every player bets on the same rising multiplier, and it can stop at any moment from 1.00x upward. Rounds last only a few seconds, the top multiplier reaches 1,000,000x, and your only decision is when to leave. The crash point is fixed before the round begins, so neither a quick click nor a late one changes where it lands. Because rounds are live and shared, Crash has no demo mode, while most Originals do.

An auto cashout target does the leaving for you. Set it at 2x and the bet collects automatically whenever the round passes 2x, which happens in about 49.5% of rounds. A 10x target collects in about 9.9% of rounds, so a higher target trades frequency for size.

In Stake Crash, cash out before the rising multiplier stops
  1. Enter your bet before the next round starts.
  2. Set an auto cashout target, or plan to cash out by hand.
  3. Watch the round start and the multiplier climb.
  4. Cash out before the crash to win your bet times the multiplier; if the crash comes first, the bet is lost.

Dice, Limbo, Keno and Hilo

These four share the 1% edge of Crash on Stake but put risk in your hands in different ways. In every one, you choose the odds and the game prices the payout from them. In Limbo, a 2x target wins 49.5% of the time and a 100x target only 0.99%, the same curve as a Crash round. Here is what controls risk in each:

How rolls, multiplier targets, number draws and card guesses shape play
  • Dice: pick a target on a 0 to 100 roll and choose Roll Over or Roll Under; a 50% chance pays 1.98x, and the slider goes down to 0.01% for the 9,900x maximum;
  • Limbo: type a target multiplier and win if the result reaches it, with a ceiling of 1,000,000x and a smaller chance the higher you aim;
  • Keno: pick 1 to 10 numbers from a 40-number board and choose Classic, Low, Medium or High risk; 10 numbers are drawn each round, and the risk setting reshapes the paytable up to 1,000x;
  • Hilo: the screen shows the chance of each outcome, then you guess Higher or Same, or Lower or Same, on the next card, skip up to 52 cards you dislike and cash out whenever the streak feels long enough.

What Is the Plane Game on Stake?

The plane game at Stake is Aviamasters, made by the studio BGaming rather than by Stake. A plane takes off with your bet as its balance, collects boosts such as +1, +5 or x2 along the route, and loses half its balance whenever it hits a rocket. You win only if it lands on the carrier, so the result depends on the flight path rather than on a cash-out click. Aviamasters on Stake runs at a 97% RTP with low volatility and a 250x maximum, and it sits in the third-party lobby rather than among the Originals.

Is Stake Crash Rigged? Provably Fair Explained

Low results are common in Crash because of how the multiplier is priced, not because of a hidden setting. With a 1% edge, the chance that a round reaches any multiplier is roughly 99% divided by that multiplier. That means about 49.5% of rounds reach 2x, 9.9% reach 10x and only 0.99% reach 100x, so half the rounds stop before 2x by design.

Crash at Stake proves each result with a chain of hashes generated before the first round and salted with a value fixed in advance. Every round’s hash is revealed when it ends, and running it through SHA-256 gives the hash of the round before, so nobody could have swapped a result. The other Originals use your own seeds instead: a server seed shown to you only as a hash, a client seed you can change at any time and a nonce that counts your bets. Because you set the client seed yourself, the casino cannot pick a result for you in advance, and the modal also counts how many bets you have placed with the current pair.

Provably fair proves that a round was not changed after you bet. It does not remove the house edge, and it does not make any round more likely to win. Checking a single-player round takes 4 steps:

How a published hash chain lets players verify past Crash results
  1. Open the Fairness modal under the game and note your client seed and hashed server seed.
  2. Rotate the seed pair, which reveals the old server seed.
  3. Enter both seeds and the nonce in the Verify tab, or on the Calculation page of the provably fair section, which works as a seed checker for Stake.
  4. Compare the recomputed result with your bet history.
