Checked on Stake.com in November 2026. Stake can change a game's settings, so the game's own info panel always has the final word.

And slots?

Slots on Stake are made by outside studios, and each one has its own RTP, shown in the game's information on Stake. Most are typically between 94% and 97%, a house edge of 3% to 6%, which is three to six times the edge of Dice or Mines. The edge is always 100% minus the RTP. Some slots exist in several RTP versions, so check the figure in the game itself rather than the studio's website.

What the house edge means in money

The house edge is the share of every bet the game keeps on average. On a 1% game, $10,000 of wager costs about $100 over time; on a 2% game, $200. Short sessions swing far from that in both directions, but the more you play, the closer your results get to it.

Two Stake rewards depend on the edge. Rakeback is exactly 3.5% of it. The weekly and monthly bonuses also grow with the edge of the games you play, according to Stake. Neither one turns a higher edge game into a better deal: they give back a slice of the extra cost, not all of it.

Same edge, different ride

Dice, Limbo, Mines and Plinko all keep 1%, yet they feel nothing alike. Dice at 98% wins almost every roll; Plinko on Expert loses most balls and pays 10,000x once in a blue moon. That spread is called variance, and it is the only thing your settings change. Our game calculators show both sides: Dice, Limbo and Crash, Mines and Plinko.

FAQ

+Which Stake game has the lowest house edge?

Blackjack, at 0.57% (RTP 99.43%) according to Stake's house edge guide, assuming you play the right decisions. After that come Dice, Limbo, Crash, Mines, Plinko, Keno, HiLo, Wheel and Video Poker at 1%.

+Which Stake Originals have a 2% house edge?

Slide, Pump, Flip, Chicken, Dragon Tower and Drill all show a 98% RTP on Stake's game pages, so a 2% edge.

+Does the house edge change with the risk level?

Not on the games we checked: every Plinko table and every visible Wheel table works out to 99%. Risk changes how results are spread, not the average.

+Why does the house edge matter for bonuses?

Stake's rakeback is 3.5% of the edge, and Stake says higher edge games give a higher weekly and monthly bonus percentage. But they also cost you more: the bonus never makes up the difference.
