HOW TO PLAY DICE AT STAKE
Dice is one of Stake's in-house Originals — built and run by Stake itself, not a third-party studio. You pick a target on a 0.00–99.99 scale and bet whether the roll lands over or under it. The winning zone shows green, the losing zone red, and dragging the target instantly rebalances your win chance against your payout.
The payout multiplier is derived from your win chance by the formula multiplier = 99 ÷ win chance. That 99 (rather than 100) is where the fixed 1% house edge lives. So a 50% win chance pays about 1.98x, a 98% chance pays about 1.0102x, and a 2% chance pays about 49.5x. Lower win chance means a higher multiplier and higher variance; each roll is independent, so past results never influence the next.
At Stake, Dice is available the moment a crypto deposit clears — BTC, ETH, USDT and other coins are accepted, and cashouts process in under 5 min. Stake ranks #1 on our deposit-volume table with $1.86B in monthly deposits, so Dice runs on a platform with real liquidity behind it. Stake does not run a single fixed deposit-match welcome bonus baked into the game — its value comes from rakeback and the 15-level VIP Club (reloads, weekly and monthly bonuses, level-up bonuses), and Dice wagers reportedly count 2x toward VIP points.
STAKE DICE BY THE NUMBERS
| RTP | 99% |
|---|---|
| House Edge | 1% (fixed, every bet) |
| Win Chance Range | 0.01% to 98% |
| Max Multiplier | 9900x (manual entry) |
| Provably Fair | Yes (HMAC-SHA256) |
| Mobile Support | Yes (iOS & Android browser) |
Roll-over and roll-under bets against the 0.00–99.99 number line let you choose the win chance yourself, from 0.01% all the way up to 98%. The payout adjusts automatically as 99 ÷ win chance, which is why the edge stays at a flat 1% no matter where you set the slider. The manual payout field tops out at 9900x (the 0.01% win chance: 99 / 0.01 = 9900), while the drag slider only reaches about 49.50x — bigger multipliers have to be typed in by hand.
What separates Stake on Dice is that it is a true in-house Original with public server-seed verification on every roll, not a white-label slot. Stake has run crypto originals since 2017 and processes the largest deposit volume of any casino we track. A clean way to feel the edge is to run a few hundred rolls at the 49.5%/2x setting — over a large sample your results converge on that 99% return, with the missing 1% being the house edge. Stake imposes per-game, per-currency max-bet and max-profit limits, so check the in-game limits for your coin before scaling up a session.
COMPARE DICE AT OTHER CASINOS
Dice runs at nearly every major crypto casino, and the house edge is the number that matters most. Here is how the other operators we track compare:
HOW STAKE DICE IS PROVABLY FAIR
Dice is a Stake Original, and like every Stake Original it is provably fair — each roll is fixed by cryptography before you bet, and you can verify afterwards that nothing was changed. Four inputs decide a roll:
- Server seed — generated by Stake and shown to you up front only as a hashed (SHA-256) commitment, so it can’t be swapped later. The full seed is revealed when you rotate your seed pair.
- Client seed — set and changeable by you, so Stake can’t know the result in advance.
- Nonce — a counter that rises by one each bet, making every roll unique under the same seed pair.
- Cursor — lets the RNG pull more bytes when a game needs them; Dice needs only 4 bytes, so the cursor stays at 0.
Stake’s published algorithm feeds these into HMAC-SHA256, turns the first 4 bytes into a float in [0,1) (each byte divided down its 256-place value and summed), then converts that float into a roll:
bytes = HMAC_SHA256(serverSeed, clientSeed:nonce:cursor)
float = first 4 bytes → value in [0, 1)
roll = floor(float × 10001) ÷ 100
That produces 10,001 equally likely outcomes from 0.00 to 100.00 (the playable range shows as 0.00–99.99). Your win chance equals the size of the green zone, and the payout is always 99 ÷ win chance — the 99 rather than 100 is exactly where the 1% house edge sits. To check a past roll yourself: before betting, save the hashed server seed, your client seed and the nonce. Afterwards, open Settings → Fairness, rotate/reveal the server seed, hash the revealed seed and confirm it matches the earlier commitment, then re-run HMAC-SHA256 with the revealed serverSeed, your clientSeed and the nonce through the formula and confirm the reproduced roll matches your bet history. Stake documents this at stake.com/provably-fair/implementation, and our free provably fair verifier reproduces it in-browser — seeds never leave your device. Full walkthrough: what provably fair gambling actually proves.
The honest limit: provably fair proves the roll was committed before your bet and not tampered with after. It does not remove the house edge — the 1% is inside the payout math, so the game is verifiable and genuinely random, but still negative expected value over time.
THE ODDS: WHAT EVERY SETTING ACTUALLY PAYS
Because outcomes are uniform across 10,001 equally likely values, the odds are completely transparent: your win chance is just the green-zone size, and the multiplier is fixed at 99 ÷ win chance. That makes the expected return a flat 99% at every risk level:
- 98% win chance — pays about 1.0102x (low variance, long sessions)
- 50% win chance — pays about 1.98x (the classic coin-flip setting)
- 25% win chance — pays about 3.96x
- 2% win chance — pays about 49.5x (big, rare hits)
- 0.01% win chance — pays the maximum 9900x
Every roll is independent: a run of losses does not make a win “due,” and a hot streak does not mean a cold one is coming. Whatever pattern you think you see, the average return is −1% of your stake per bet. Picking a higher win chance does not improve your odds — it only lowers variance; picking a lower one only raises it.
STAKE DICE STRATEGY: WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN’T
No strategy changes the fixed 1% edge — Dice is negative-EV on every bet, at every setting. What good play actually does is manage variance and protect your bankroll so you can play longer for the same expected cost:
- Match win-chance to your goal — a higher win chance (lower multiplier) lowers variance and lengthens playtime; a lower win chance raises variance for bigger but rarer hits. Neither changes the edge.
- Stake small, fixed units — flat bet sizing survives normal cold streaks far better than escalating stakes.
- Use loss and time limits — set a hard stop-loss and a session cap before you start, and treat it as entertainment spend.
What does not work, despite what you’ll read:
- Martingale (doubling after each loss) — it feels safe, but on a ~50% game the bet size explodes during an inevitable losing streak. A finite bankroll and Stake’s max-bet limits guarantee eventual ruin; simulations show a high risk of busting within a few dozen losses. It needs an infinite bankroll and no bet cap — neither exists.
- “Dice predictor” apps, bots and scripts — because each roll is HMAC-SHA256 of a server seed Stake committed to before your bet, you cannot predict a roll without already knowing the unrevealed server seed, which you never have in advance. Anything claiming to forecast rolls is a scam or malware bait for your credentials.
IS STAKE DICE RIGGED?
No — not in the sense of secretly altering outcomes, and unusually for a casino game you can prove this yourself. The provably-fair system lets you cryptographically confirm that each roll was fixed by a server seed Stake committed to (via its hash) before you bet, so Stake cannot retroactively change a result based on what you chose. The catch is what “fair” means: provably fair is not the same as no house edge, and it is not a way to win. The game still carries a transparent, mathematically baked-in 1% edge on every bet, so over time the house is expected to profit and most players lose. Players who feel Dice is “rigged” are almost always experiencing ordinary negative-EV variance plus that edge — not manipulation. Fair and verifiable, yes; a way to beat the house, no.
