What are Stake Originals?

Stake Originals are in-house games made by Stake rather than third-party studios. They include Mines, Plinko, Crash, Dice, Limbo, Keno, Hilo, Dragon Tower, Wheel and more, each with its own mechanics and risk.

Which Stake Original is most like Mines?

Dragon Tower is the closest in feel - it is also a step-by-step reveal game where each safe choice raises your multiplier and one wrong pick ends the round.

Do all Stake Originals have the same odds?

No. Each game has different mechanics, volatility and house edge. A low-volatility round in Dice behaves very differently from a high-mine round in Mines.

Are Stake Originals available to Canadians?

Access depends on Stake's terms and your provincial or territorial rules, which can change. Always confirm what is permitted where you live before playing.

Why Stake Mines leads the list

Mines is the reason this site exists. It pairs a simple grid with a constant risk-or-bank decision, which is why so many Canadians look it up first.

Simple to grasp, sharp to play

Pick safe tiles, avoid hidden mines, cash out before your luck runs out. There is nothing to learn beyond that loop, yet the mine-count setting lets you dial risk from gentle to extreme.

If you only read one of our guides, make it the Stake Mines Canada overview, then layer on the strategy notes and the payout chart.

Mines vs Dragon Tower

Both are step-reveal games. Mines uses a 5×5 grid you explore freely; Dragon Tower climbs row by row. Same tension, different shape.

Mines vs Crash

Crash is a single rising curve you must exit before it busts. Mines spreads that same "stop in time" decision across individual tiles.
