Stake Originals: The Full Lineup and House Edges

What “Originals” means

Unlike slots and live games supplied by third-party studios, the Originals are built in-house. The practical benefit is consistency: rather than RTPs scattered across dozens of providers, every Original runs the same headline number. That makes them easy to compare and, at 99% RTP, among the lower-edge games you will find. They sit apart from the casino slot games that dominate most lobbies.

The common 1% house edge

A 1% house edge means a 99% RTP: across a large sample of bets, the games are designed to return about 99% of wagers. This is a long-run average, not a per-session guarantee, and it does not mean you keep 99% of any given stake. The low edge simply means the math erodes a bankroll more slowly than higher-edge games, all else being equal.

The shared provably-fair system

Every Original uses the same provably-fair mechanism: a server seed (hashed and shown in advance), a client seed you control, and a nonce that increments each bet. After play you can reveal the server seed and recompute results to confirm nothing was tampered with. This per-bet verifiability is a defining feature of the suite.

The lineup at a glance

The games span several styles, from grid and ball-drop mechanics to number-prediction and crash formats. The RTP is identical across all of them; what differs is the type of decision you make and the volatility you can dial in.

Game	Type	RTP
Plinko	Ball-drop / pin grid	99%
Dice	Roll-over / under prediction	99%
Mines	Grid reveal / avoid mines	99%
Limbo	Target-multiplier prediction	99%
Crash	Cash out before bust	99%
Hilo	Higher / lower cards	99%
Dragon Tower	Climb / avoid traps	99%
Diamonds	Match symbols	99%

The Stake Originals suite, all at 99% RTP / 1% house edge.

Same edge, different volatility

Because the edge is identical, no Original is mathematically “better” over the long run. The real difference is volatility, the size and frequency of wins, which you often control through settings. In Dice you adjust the win chance; in Mines you pick how many mines to place; in Plinko you choose risk level and rows. Our Plinko RTP and Dice RTP guides break those choices down.

Quick answers

Do all Originals have the same RTP? Yes, all run a 1% house edge, or 99% RTP.

Are they provably fair? Yes, every Original uses the same seed-and-nonce provably-fair system.

Which Original has the best odds? None has a better long-run edge; they differ in volatility, not RTP.

How the numbers on this page were produced

expected value = sum of (outcome x probability)

This page explains a property of the maths rather than a single game figure. Every worked example is computed from the stated probabilities, and any game number quoted alongside it is verified against the studio documentation linked below before publication.

Primary sources checked for this page

Stake publishes its house edge and provably-fair method on its own site, which blocks automated retrieval, so we do not link it as a source. Every figure here is instead re-derivable from the published payout identity, and any finished round can be verified by the player from the seed pair.
