Les jeux de casino expliqués

Plinko is a Stake Original where a ball is dropped from the top of a pyramid of pegs and bounces down into one of the payout slots at the bottom. Players choose the number of rows (8 to 16) and a risk level, which reshapes the payout distribution: low risk pays small multipliers almost everywhere, while high risk concentrates big multipliers in the outer slots and sub-1x results in the middle. It is one of the most-played instant games at crypto casinos and has been widely cloned by other operators.

Mines is a Minesweeper-style instant game on a 5x5 grid of 25 tiles. Before each round the player chooses how many mines (1-24) are hidden; every safe tile revealed raises the multiplier, and the player can cash out at any point. Hitting a mine ends the round and forfeits the stake. The game's appeal is that risk is entirely player-controlled, from near-coin-flip rounds to astronomically long shots.

Dice is the classic crypto-casino game: a number from 0.00 to 100.00 is rolled and the player bets whether it will land over or under a chosen target. Moving the target changes the win chance and the payout inversely, so the same game covers everything from a 98% win-chance grind to a 0.01% lottery shot. It is the simplest way to see the 1% house edge directly, because the multiplier is just 99 divided by the win chance.

Limbo is a single-player instant version of Crash: instead of watching a curve, the player names a target multiplier and the game generates a result; if the result is at or above the target the bet pays the target multiplier. It removes the timing element of Crash and lets players fire hundreds of bets a minute with auto-bet. Because the target can be set as high as 1,000,000x, it is the Stake Original most associated with huge headline wins from tiny stakes.

Keno is Stake's instant take on the lottery-style number game. The player picks up to 10 numbers on a 40-tile board, 10 numbers are drawn, and the payout depends on how many picks are hit and on the chosen risk profile. Unlike land-based keno with an 80-ball drum, Stake's version resolves instantly and the paytable is shown in advance.

Wheel is a Stake Original spin-the-wheel game where a pointer stops on one of the wheel's coloured segments and pays its multiplier. The player chooses how many segments (10 to 50) and a risk level, which together define the mix of 0x, small and large multipliers on the wheel. It is one of the simplest originals and is mostly played for its low variance settings or its 49.5x jackpot segment.

Hi-Lo (Hilo) is a card-prediction Stake Original: a starting card is shown and the player guesses whether the next card will be higher or lower, with the multiplier growing after every correct call. The displayed odds change with each card, so calling 'lower' on a King pays little while calling 'higher' on a King is a long shot. The player can cash out after any correct guess or skip a card they do not like.

Dragon Tower is a climb-the-tower Stake Original: on each of nine floors the player picks one tile, hoping to reveal a dragon egg rather than a trap, and the multiplier compounds with every floor cleared. Difficulty (Easy to Master) sets how many tiles are on each floor and how many of them are safe, from 3-of-4 on Easy to 1-of-4 on Master. Players can cash out after any floor.

Flip is a coin-toss Stake Original released in 2025: call Heads or Tails, and after each correct call decide whether to cash out or flip again for a compounding multiplier. Each winning flip roughly doubles the running multiplier (1.96x per flip at 98% RTP), so twenty straight wins reach the 1,027,604.48x maximum. It is the most stripped-down of the streak-based originals.

Pump is a balloon-inflation Stake Original: each press of the Pump button inflates the balloon and raises the multiplier, and the player must cash out before it bursts. Difficulty (Easy to Expert) sets how many of the 25 possible pumps are 'pops', so Easy balloons survive long streaks with slow multiplier growth while Expert balloons pay 2.8x after three pumps but burst often. The maximum of 3,203,384.80x needs 15 straight safe pumps on Expert.

Cases is a loot-box style Stake Original released in February 2025 that mimics opening a CS:GO-style crate. The player picks a difficulty, opens the case and a single reel spins to reveal one multiplier tile; there are no decisions once the case is opened. Difficulty scales the top prize from 23x on Easy to 10,000x on Expert while making the big tiles rarer.

Diamonds is a one-click Stake Original that deals five coloured gems and pays according to poker-style matches: a pair, two pair, three of a kind, full house, four of a kind or five of a kind. There are no holds, draws or decisions, so each round resolves instantly. Its 50x top prize for five matching gems is modest by originals standards, and the RTP of 98.29% is slightly below Stake's usual 99%.

Stake's Video Poker is an in-house Jacks or Better machine: five cards are dealt, the player holds any number and draws replacements, and hands of a pair of Jacks or better are paid from the displayed paytable. It is one of the few originals where player decisions change the return, since holding the right cards is what realises the advertised RTP. Guides report a roughly 99.5% return, in line with a full-pay 9/6 Jacks or Better table.

Crash is a multiplayer round-based game in which a multiplier curve climbs from 1.00x until it randomly 'crashes'. Everyone who cashes out before the crash wins their stake times the multiplier at the moment they cashed out; anyone still in the round when it crashes loses. Stake's version is one of the earliest casino crash games and popularised the format later adopted by Aviator, JetX and Spaceman.

Slide is Stake's multiplayer twist on the crash format. Instead of a rising curve, a strip of multiplier cards slides across the screen and stops on one; every player who set a target at or below the stopping multiplier wins that target. Rounds run on a shared timer, so all players see the same result, and the card values range from 0x up to an enormous theoretical maximum.

Gates of Olympus is a 6-reel, 5-row scatter-pays slot built around the Greek god Zeus. Symbols pay by count anywhere on the grid rather than on fixed lines, and winning symbols tumble away so new ones can drop in. Random multiplier orbs worth 2x to 500x land on the grid and are added together, then applied to the tumble sequence's total. It has been one of the most-streamed slots since its 2021 release and anchors Pragmatic's biggest slot family.

Gates of Olympus 1000 is the higher-ceiling version of the 2021 original. The grid, scatter-pays rule and tumble mechanic are unchanged. The difference is the multiplier ladder: orbs reach 1,000x instead of 500x, which lifts the maximum win from 5,000x to 15,000x the stake. Base symbol pays were trimmed to fund the larger top end, so the game runs colder between bonuses.

Sweet Bonanza is a 6-reel, 5-row scatter-pays slot with a sweets theme, released in 2019. Eight or more matching fruits or sweets pay anywhere on the grid, and winners tumble away for replacements. The free spins round adds bomb symbols carrying multipliers from 2x to 100x, which are summed and applied at the end of each tumble sequence. It remains one of the most-played slots on streaming platforms.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 is the 2024 high-ceiling rebuild of the 2019 original. The 6x5 scatter-pays grid and tumble mechanic carry over. Multiplier bombs now reach 1,000x, and they are active in the base game as well as in free spins. The maximum win rises to 25,000x the stake.

Sugar Rush 1000 is a 7x7 cluster-pays slot released in March 2024, following the 2022 original. Wins form from clusters of five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically. Each grid position that takes part in a win gains its own multiplier spot, and repeat wins on the same spot raise that multiplier. In this version the individual spot multipliers climb to 128x and the maximum win is 25,000x the stake.

Starlight Princess 1000 is a 6-reel, 5-row scatter-pays slot with an anime-styled princess theme. It uses the same engine as Gates of Olympus: symbols pay by count anywhere on the grid, winners tumble away, and random multiplier orbs are summed and applied to the tumble sequence total. This version raises the top orb from 500x to 1,000x and the maximum win to 15,000x the stake. It was the first release in Pragmatic's 1000 series.

Big Bass Bonanza is a 5-reel, 3-row, 10-payline fishing slot released in 2020. It is built by Reel Kingdom and distributed by Pragmatic Play. The draw is the free spins round, where a fisherman wild collects the money value attached to every fish symbol on screen. Collecting sets of four fish upgrades a multiplier and awards more spins. It is the lowest-ceiling game in this list and also the one with the highest default RTP.

The Dog House Megaways is the Megaways version of Pragmatic's 2019 Dog House slot, released on 13 August 2020. Reel heights change every spin, so the number of ways to win varies up to 117,649. Sticky wilds carrying multipliers of 2x or 3x are the main feature, and they can combine during free spins. The Megaways licence comes from Big Time Gaming.

Wanted Dead or a Wild is a 5-reel, 5-row western slot with 15 paylines, released on 29 September 2021. It has three separate bonus rounds rather than one, each with a different mechanic. Hacksaw publishes four RTP builds for it, and the operator picks which one to run. The maximum win is 12,500x the stake.

Le Bandit is a 6-reel, 5-row cascading slot released on 24 August 2023, starring Smokey the raccoon. Wins clear from the grid and are replaced, and the positions that won turn into Golden Squares. When a Rainbow symbol appears, those Golden Squares reveal coin multipliers or special symbols. Hacksaw rates it 3 out of 5 for volatility, making it the calmest of their titles in this list.

Chaos Crew 2 is a 5x5, 19-payline slot released on 28 September 2023, following the 2020 original. Hacksaw rates it 5 out of 5 for volatility, its highest band. The core feature is Epic Drop, a random base-game event that reveals the values on multiplier symbols. The maximum win is 20,000x the stake.

Book of Dead is a 5-reel, 3-row, 10-payline slot released in 2016, and the title that made Play'n GO a household name in Europe. It follows the Book of Ra template: a book symbol acts as both wild and scatter, and the free spins round picks one expanding symbol at random. The maximum win is 5,000x the stake, modest by modern standards.

Money Train 4 launched network-wide on 20 September 2023 and closed out Relax Gaming's western heist series. It plays on a 6x6 grid with scatter pays and a high-volatility maths model. The draw is the bonus round, where special symbols collect, multiply and duplicate values across a locked grid. The maximum win is 150,000x the stake, among the highest published for any mainstream slot.

San Quentin 2: Death Row went live across Nolimit City's partners on 24 September 2024, four years after the original prison slot. It carries a published maximum win of 200,000x the stake, the largest figure in this catalogue. The game layers Nolimit's xMechanics, including xWays and xNudge wilds, so the grid expands and multipliers compound within a single spin. It is an extreme-volatility design.

Fire in the Hole 3 launched on 3 June 2025 and continues Nolimit City's mining series. It adds an xHole mechanic on top of the xBomb wilds that defined the first two games. Nolimit publishes five RTP builds for it, from 96.05% down to 84.07%, which is an unusually wide spread. The maximum win is 70,000x the stake.

Mental 2 is the sequel to Nolimit City's 2021 asylum-themed slot, launched on 25 March 2025. Its published maximum win is 99,999x the stake. The game uses Nolimit's xMechanics, including enhancer symbols that alter the grid and multiplier wilds that compound within a spin. Like the original it is a deliberately uncomfortable theme and an extreme-volatility maths model.

Dead or Alive 2 is a 5-reel, 3-row, 9-payline western slot released in 2019, following the 2009 original. Its default RTP of 96.8% is the highest of any slot in this catalogue. The free spins round comes in three versions, each with a different trade between spin count and multiplier size. It has an unusually long-running reputation among streamers for extreme swings.

Razor Returns was released on 4 July 2023 and follows Push Gaming's Razor Shark. It keeps the Nudging Mystery Stacks and the Razor Reveal free spins round, and adds Push Bet, an optional stake increase that changes the maths. With Push Bet active the RTP is reported at 96.55%; without it the base figure is 96.16%. The maximum win is 100,000x the stake.

Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War is a Pragmatic Play slot released in May 2023, built around a contest between the two gods. Its default RTP of 96.07% is the lowest of the Pragmatic titles in this catalogue. The maximum win is 15,000x the stake. Pragmatic later extended it with a Gods of War 250 variant, which has its own separate maths.

Duel at Dawn is a 5x5 western slot released on 21 November 2024. It reuses the DuelReels mechanic Hacksaw first built for Wanted Dead or a Wild: a VS symbol expands into a wild reel carrying a multiplier of up to 200x. An Outlaw feature adds full wild reels that fire further wilds onto the grid. The maximum win is 15,000x the stake.

Blackjack is a card game in which you try to finish with a hand total closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. It is the only mainstream casino game where the player's decisions materially change the return, which is why basic strategy exists. Under a good rule set and correct basic strategy the house edge is roughly 0.5%. The rules in force matter more than anything else: a table paying 6:5 for a blackjack instead of 3:2 adds well over a percentage point to the edge.

European roulette uses a wheel with 37 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36 plus a single zero. Every bet on the layout is paid as though there were 36 pockets, and the single zero is where the house edge comes from. That edge is 2.70% and it is identical on every bet on the table, from a straight-up number to red or black. It is the standard wheel across Europe and the better of the two main formats.

American roulette adds a double zero to the wheel, giving 38 pockets instead of 37. The payouts are unchanged from the European game, so the extra pocket goes straight into the house edge, which nearly doubles to 5.26%. One bet is worse still: the five-number line covering 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 carries a 7.89% edge. If both wheels are available, there is no reason to choose this one.

Baccarat is a comparison card game with no decisions once the bet is placed. You back Banker, Player or Tie, two hands are dealt, and the one closer to nine wins. Drawing a third card follows a fixed table rule, so there is nothing to play. Banker is the best bet at a 1.06% house edge, Player is 1.24%, and Tie is far worse at around 14%.

Craps is a dice game played against a layout offering dozens of different bets, with house edges ranging from 1.41% down to zero on the odds bet and up to 16.67% on some proposition bets. The Pass Line is the standard opening bet and carries a 1.41% edge. Behind it sits the odds bet, the only wager in a casino paid at true odds with no house advantage at all.

Sic Bo is a dice game of Chinese origin played with three dice and a wide betting layout. There are no decisions after the bet is placed. House edges vary enormously by bet: Small and Big are the best at 2.78%, while specific triples and some combination bets run into double figures. Choosing the bet is the whole of the game.

Casino Hold'em is a poker-derived table game played against the dealer rather than other players. You post an Ante, see your two cards and three community cards, then either fold or double up with a Call bet. Under the standard paytable and correct play the house edge is 2.16% of the Ante. Measured against the total amount actually put at risk, which averages more than the Ante because of the Call, the cost is closer to 0.82%.

Three Card Poker is a two-part table game invented in the 1990s. The Ante and Play part is a contest against the dealer using three-card hands, with a 3.37% house edge on the Ante under optimal play. Pair Plus is a separate bet on your own hand strength and is worse, at 7.28%. Optimal strategy is a single rule that takes about ten seconds to learn.

Jacks or Better is the base form of video poker. You are dealt five cards, discard any of them, and are paid from a fixed paytable if the final hand is a pair of jacks or better. On a full-pay 9/6 machine, meaning nine coins for a full house and six for a flush, perfect play returns 99.54%, a house edge of 0.46%. That is the lowest edge of any game in this catalogue, but it depends entirely on the paytable in front of you.

Lightning Roulette is a single-zero live roulette game with an added multiplier layer, launched in 2018. Each round, between one and five numbers are struck by lightning and given a multiplier from 50x to 500x. To pay for that, straight-up numbers pay 29 to 1 instead of the usual 35 to 1. Outside bets are untouched and keep the ordinary European return of 97.30%. Straight-up bets return slightly less, about 97.10%, because the reduced base payout costs a little more than the multipliers give back.

Lightning Blackjack is live blackjack with a multiplier layer bolted on, launched on 17 November 2021. Every hand carries a Lightning Fee equal to the bet, so the round costs twice the nominal stake. In exchange, every winning hand earns a randomly generated multiplier between 2x and 25x, which is then applied through a separate side game. Optimal strategy returns 99.56%.

Crazy Time launched in July 2020 and is the most played live game show in the category. A presenter spins a large money wheel; you back either a number or one of four bonus rounds. The bonus rounds are what the game is known for, and the largest of them can reach 20,000x the stake. Evolution publishes an RTP of 96.08%.

Monopoly Live pairs a physical money wheel with an augmented-reality bonus board. Evolution launched it in 2019 under sublicence from Hasbro. The wheel has 54 segments: 48 numbers, two Chance segments and four that send you into the 3D board game. In the bonus, an animated Mr Monopoly walks the board collecting prizes. The reported RTP is 96.23% and the maximum win is 10,000x.

Funky Time is Evolution's disco-themed money wheel and a structural successor to Crazy Time, launched on 10 May 2023 and built on a digital wheel surface rather than a physical one. You bet on the number 1, on any of twelve letters, or on four bonus rounds. Letter segments pay 25 to 1 by default. The reported RTP sits between about 95.4% and 96.0% depending on the bet, which makes it a slightly more expensive game than Crazy Time.

Crazy Coin Flip is a hybrid of a slot and a live game show, released on 14 June 2022. You play a virtual slot qualifying round, and landing three bonus symbols sends you to a live studio where a red and blue coin is flipped for a multiplier. Reported RTPs are 96.05% for the standard bet, 96.00% for the XXXtreme bet and 95.06% for the top-up bet.

Sweet Bonanza CandyLand is Pragmatic Play's live money wheel, released in November 2021 and themed on their Sweet Bonanza slot. A physical 54-segment wheel is spun by a host in a studio. Forty-nine segments carry numbers and five trigger bonus rounds. The reported RTP is around 96.5% on the best bet positions, but it drops considerably on others.

Mega Ball is a live bingo-style draw with a multiplier attached. You buy one or more cards of numbers, 20 balls are drawn from 51, and a 21st ball carries a multiplier of 5x to 100x. If that final ball completes a line on your card, the payout for that card is multiplied. The reported RTP is 95.40%, the lowest in this live selection.

Cash or Crash is a live ladder game launched in September 2021, with the highest reported return of any game in this catalogue at 99.59%. A ball draw decides whether you climb a 20-step payout ladder or lose the round. After every successful step you choose to bank everything, bank half and carry on, or risk it all. The maximum win is 50,000x the stake.
