Stake OriginalStake Snakes: Dice, Snakes and Cashout
A guide to Stake Snakes: rolling two dice, multipliers, snakes, five difficulty levels, cashout, Manual and Auto modes, and provably fair.
Published by The Gambling Desk ·
Stake Snakes follows the idea of a risk-filled course. Two dice determine progress across a board containing multipliers and snakes. Reaching a multiplier increases the available return; landing on a snake forfeits the round.
After a winning step, the player can use Cashout or roll the dice again with Roll.
How a Round Works
- Set Bet Amount.
- Choose the difficulty.
- Roll the two dice with Roll.
- The total determines the position reached.
- On a multiplier, choose Cashout or continue.
- On a snake, the round ends without a payout.
The screenshot shows Medium, a result at 1.11x and a displayed total profit of 0.11 on a bet of 1.00. Cashout is available, as is another roll.
Understanding the Snakes Interface
Manual and Auto appear at the top of the left-hand panel. Difficulty sets the number of snakes and multiplier range. Cashout collects the value reached; Roll continues the round.
The central board surrounds the two dice. The Medium screenshot contains three snakes and spaces at 1.11x, 1.40x, 2.50x and 4.00x. The five dots below represent the difficulty levels, with Medium selected.

The Five Difficulty Levels
The table in the DOCX provides exactly the following profiles:
- Easy: 1 snake, multipliers from 1.01x to 2.00x;
- Medium: 3 snakes, from 1.11x to 4.00x;
- Hard: 5 snakes, from 1.38x to 7.50x;
- Expert: 7 snakes, from 3.82x to 10.00x;
- Master: 9 snakes, from 17.64x to 18.00x.
Raising the difficulty increases the available payouts and the number of losing spaces. The values must therefore not be compared without accounting for the additional snakes.
Continuing or Using Cashout
After a multiplier, continuing exposes the accumulated payout to another roll. Cashout ends the round and secures the displayed return.
In the screenshot, 1.11x on a bet of 1.00 corresponds to a total return of 1.11 and a net profit of 0.11. Rolling again may increase the value, but a snake would cancel the available payout.
There is no universally optimal threshold. The decision depends on the difficulty, value already reached and limit set before the round.
Manual and Auto Modes
Manual lets the player decide after every step. The DOCX describes Auto with a number of rounds and profit or loss stops. Instant betting removes the animations but does not change the dice.
Automation should retain a defined number of rounds and budget. Legacy RTP and maximum figures are not presented as current data without independent canonical confirmation.
Snakes and Provably Fair
Fairness allows the dice and course to be verified from the seeds and nonce after the result.
Our guide to Stake provably fair explains the procedure in detail. Dragon Tower presents another choice between progression and cashout, while Chicken uses consecutive steps.
