Stake Roulette: A Stake Original Game

Stake Roulette is a European roulette game in the Stake Originals lobby. It has a single-zero wheel and a 97.30% RTP. In auto mode, you can repeat bets and set stop limits. In this guide, you’ll find the rules, the available bets, the auto-bet settings, the house edge and how to check that each spin is fair.

Important notice for Canadians: Stake doesn’t accept players in Alberta or Ontario as its licence comes from Curaçao. To play elsewhere in Canada, you must be at least 18 or older if your province sets a higher age.

How to Play Stake Roulette

Stake Roulette uses the standard rules of European roulette. The wheel has one zero, unlike American roulette, which has two (0 and 00). One difference is that you can only bet on the tiles, not on the lines between them. To play:

1. Open the game. Go to Stake Originals and select Roulette.
2. Pick a mode. Use Manual to place each round yourself or Auto to repeat your bets.
3. Choose a chip. The chip bar shows 1, 10, 100 and 1K chips. Each chip you place on the table is worth that amount and your Total Bet updates as you go.
4. Place your bets. Click a number from 0 to 36, a column (2:1), a dozen (1 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36) or an even-money bet: 1 to 18, 19 to 36, Even, Odd, Red or Black. Use Undo or Clear to fix a mistake.
5. Press Bet. The wheel spins and the ball lands on a number.
6. Use Auto mode. In Auto mode, enter the Number of Bets, turn on Advanced if you want extra options and press Start Autobet.
7. Collect your winnings. If your bet wins, Stake credits the payout automatically.

Since bets only go on tiles, this game has no split, street, corner or six-line bets. The only inside bet is a straight-up number.

Why Players Choose Stake Roulette

Stake Roulette has a few features that keep Canadian players coming back. These include:

• Lower house edge. The single-zero wheel gives a 2.70% house edge and a 97.30% RTP. American roulette has 5.26% with its extra 00 pocket.
• Simple table. You can bet only on tiles: single numbers, columns, dozens and even-money bets like Red and Black. There are no split, street or corner bets to learn.
• Flexible stakes. Chips of 1, 10, 100 and 1K let you build your Total Bet as you go.
• Auto mode. Your bets repeat for the number of rounds you set, so you don’t click each round.
• Fairness checks. The Fairness window shows your client seed and the hashed server seed. You can change your client seed and verify results with the client seed, server seed and nonce.

What Makes Stake Roulette Different?

Stake Roulette is a Stake Original, so you can check its results yourself. A random number generator decides each spin and the Verify tab lets you confirm the result. It recalculates the spin from your client seed, a server seed and a nonce. The rest of the game is familiar, with the standard table layout and Manual and Auto tabs on the left.

Remember that provably fair covers Stake Originals only. The live roulette games such as the ones from Evolution and Pragmatic Play aren’t Originals, so you can’t check their spins in the Verify tab. If checking results is important to you, play this version.

Betting Options

You can choose a chip value (1, 10, 100 or 1K) and build your total bet by placing chips on the table. Every bet has to stay within the game’s limits. You’ll find the maximum in Game Info under “Max Betting Limits”, where each currency has its own max bet and max profit.

Bets go on tiles only, and the payout depends on how many numbers you cover:

• Even-money bets. Red, Black, Odd, Even, 1 to 18 and 19 to 36 pay 1:1 and win most often
• Columns and dozens. They pay 2:1
• Single number. It pays 35:1 but wins least often

Some players follow betting systems like Martingale, Oscar’s Grind or flat betting, but none of them change the odds or guarantee a profit.

Auto-Bet and Other Features

Stake Roulette supports both manual and automated play. You switch between them with the tabs at the top left of the game.

Auto-Bet Settings

Auto mode repeats the bets on your table, so place them first. After that, set it up in four steps:

1. Pick a chip value and place your bets on the table.
2. Enter the Number of Bets. The field starts at 0 and shows an infinity icon, so check whether 0 means unlimited before you start.
3. Turn on Advanced if you want extra options.
4. Press Start Autobet.

In-Game Controls

The gear icon opens a menu with volume, Instant Bet, Animations, Game Info and Hotkeys. Game Info holds the rules and the max betting limits. Live Stats, the bar-chart icon, shows your wins and losses and the $100k Race. On the table, Undo and Clear let you fix a mistake before you press Bet.

RTP, House Edge and Volatility

Stake Roulette has a 97.30% RTP, which is standard for a single-zero wheel. The house edge is 2.70%, and it is the same on every bet. RTP is an average over many spins, so it can’t tell you how one session will go. Here’s how the bets compare:

The lower the payout, the more often the bet wins. A single number pays the most but wins least often. Since the house edge is the same on every row, picking a higher-volatility bet changes how bumpy your session feels, not what it costs you on average.

Depositing Funds to Play Stake Roulette

You can use a local currency or crypto for deposits and withdrawals. Stake lists Canadian dollars (CAD) as one of the local options, and you can also use coins like BTC and ETH. If you want to keep some money aside between sessions, there’s the Stake Vault that works as a separate pocket for your funds. Additionally, you can set deposit limits to control your budget. 

Deposit should only be made from your own wallet or payment method and not from someone else’s card. If the platform sees a deposit from another person, it can close your account and keep the funds and any winnings.

When it comes to withdrawals, you need to bet the full amount of each deposit once. For example, if you deposit 100, you bet 100 before you can withdraw. 

If you live in Alberta or Ontario, then Stake isn’t an option for you, because it doesn’t accept players from those two provinces. VPN can fix that, but it is against the rules.
