Stake Bars: Grid, Selections and Multiplier

Stake Bars is a selection game played on a grid of 30 bars, arranged in 5 columns and 6 rows. Before each round, you choose between one and five positions. The reveal then displays the multiplier hidden behind every bar and adds together the values of the selected positions.

The result does not depend on a progression or cashout. Once Bet is activated, the entire round is resolved.

How a Round Works

1. Set the amount in Bet Amount.
2. Choose the difficulty level.
3. Select between one and five bars on the grid, or use Random Pick.
4. Check your choices, then start the round with Bet.
5. All values are revealed and the total payout is displayed.

Selecting manually does not help identify a better position. All 30 bars look the same before the result, and Random Pick only automates the choice of positions.

Understanding the Bars Interface

The Manual and Auto tabs appear at the top of the left-hand panel. The bet can be halved or doubled with the shortcuts shown beside its amount. Difficulty sets the round profile.

Random Pick adds positions at random. Clear Table removes the current selections and returns the grid to a blank state. Selected positions turn blue; their number must remain between one and five.

The supplied screenshot shows five bars selected on a 5 × 6 grid. After the reveal, each position displays its own value. The five choices return 0.06x, 0.12x, 0.24x, 0.28x and 0.60x, for a total of 1.40x. With a bet of 0.50, the displayed payout is 0.70.

Selections and Total Payout

Bars adds together the multipliers revealed beneath the selected positions. In the visible example:

• sum of the five values: 1.40x;
• initial bet: 0.50;
• total return: 0.70;
• net profit: 0.20 after deducting the bet.

This distinction matters. The total payout includes the initial bet when it exceeds 1.00x; profit is only the amount left after subtracting that bet. A total below 1.00x returns part of the bet without producing a profit.

The number of bars changes how the result is distributed across the selections. Choosing more positions increases the number of values being added, but does not turn the round into a guaranteed win.

Difficulty and Value Distribution

The legacy DOCX describes four levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. The screenshot confirms this menu and shows Medium. Difficulty changes the distribution of multipliers, and therefore the relative frequency of small values and higher results.

It does not reveal favourable positions or make the next grid predictable. Two rounds using the same bet and difficulty remain independent.

RTP, house-edge and maximum-multiplier figures included in the legacy documentation are not presented as current characteristics because no independent canonical data confirms them in the repository resources.

Manual and Auto Modes

In Manual mode, every round requires you to define the selections and then press Bet. This makes it easier to control the pace and amount wagered.

Auto mode runs rounds consecutively according to its settings. It improves neither the revealed values nor the probabilities. Before activating it, check the number of rounds and the total exposure produced by the selected bet.

Game History and Limits

A series of low or high values does not make any result “due”. The history can help review a session, but cannot predict the next bars.

Setting a fixed bet and loss limit makes the budget easier to track. Increasing the bet after a poor round does not mechanically recover the previous loss; it only increases the amount exposed to the next result.

Bars and Provably Fair

The Fairness button opens Stake’s provably fair system. The server seed, client seed and nonce allow the generation of a round to be verified afterwards. This check confirms the integrity of the result without revealing the next grid.

Our guide to Stake provably fair explains this mechanism in detail. Cases offers another type of multiplier reveal, while Diamonds is based on a selection of gems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Bars Can You Select?

The supplied DOCX specifies between one and five bars per round. All 30 positions are revealed after Bet, but only the selected ones count towards the payout.

Does Random Pick Improve the Result?

No. Random Pick chooses positions on your behalf. It changes neither the multiplier distribution nor the probabilities.

What Does 1.40x Mean with a Bet of 0.50?

It represents a total return of 0.70. After deducting the 0.50 bet, the net profit is 0.20.
