New Stake Originals Game: Snakes

Stake.com has unveiled “Snakes,” a new entry to its Originals collection.

Inspired by the board game Snakes & Ladders, this fast-paced dice game trades ladders for massive multipliers - but one wrong step could send your balance sliding.

Players roll two dice to move across a 12-tile board, aiming to land on tiles that boost their bet with multipliers. However, if you land on a snake, your round ends and it’s time to try again.

There are five modes to choose from based on your preferences, and you can win as much as 1.8 million times the amount you choose to bet.

How to Play

To try “Snakes” for yourself, you’ll need a Stake.com account. You can enter the Stake promo code “WHICHCASINO” at signup to unlock the latest welcome offer.

Once logged in, just follow the steps below to start playing:

Head to the Stake Originals section
Select Snakes
Choose your bet amount
Pick a game mode (Easy - Master)
Click Bet to roll the dice

Your marker will move based on the roll total, and the tile it lands on will reveal either a multiplier or a snake. You can also toggle Autobet for hands-free play or enable Instant Bet to skip animations and speed things up.

Game Modes and Difficulties

Snakes offers five modes, each changing the board layout and volatility.

The easier modes feature fewer snakes and smaller multipliers, while the harder ones increase the risk and the potential reward.

Mode	Multipliers	Snakes
Easy	1.06x – 2.00x	1
Medium	1.18x – 4.00x	3
Hard	1.47x – 7.50x	5
Expert	3.92x – 10.00x	7
Master	17.64x – 18.00x	9

Each mode presents a different kind of board. Some a casual stroll, others more of a minefield.

Game Features

“Snakes” keeps gameplay smooth with simple controls and built-in tools for faster rounds:

Autobet - Set your bet and let the game run automatically
Instant Bet - Skip animations for quicker results
Provably Fair - Like all Stake Originals, “Snakes” uses a provably fair system
98% RTP - A strong return-to-player rate over time
Max Win Potential - Up to 1,851,776.64x your original stake

Tips and Strategies

Although the game is, of course, chance-based, there are still a few smart moves to help you climb instead of slide:

Pick the Right Mode - Lower modes = lower danger, but also smaller rewards. Choose based on your risk level.
Use Autobet and Instant Bet - Especially useful if you’re playing a long session or testing a strategy.
Understand RTP - With a 98% RTP, the game is designed to return value over time. Don’t expect every round to pay off.
Set Limits - Decide your session budget before playing, and avoid chasing losses.
Learn Each Mode’s Board - The layout shifts with each difficulty. Knowing the risk distribution can help you plan your next move.
