What Is Stake Bars?
Quick answer
Stake Bars is an in-house Stake pick-and-reveal game: you pick 1 to 5 of the 30 bars on a 5×6 grid, then every multiplier on the table is revealed. Stake sets its RTP at 98%, a 2% house edge. The Difficulty and how many bars you pick shape the payouts, with a top win of 3,000x your bet.
- Pick your own bars or let Random Pick choose them
- Every round can be checked with your own seed
- !Your bars stay locked in until you press Clear Table

How to Play Bars on Stake
- Open Bars from the Stake Originals lobby. Manual mode plays one round each time you press Bet.
- Enter your Bet Amount in the currency you hold.
- Set the Difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard or Expert.
- Select 1 to 5 bars on the grid of 30, or press Random Pick to let the game choose them. They stay locked in from one round to the next until you press Clear Table.
- Press Bet. Every multiplier on the table is revealed, and with it the result of your bars.
- For automatic rounds, switch to Auto and set the Difficulty, your bet and the number of bars first.
Bars Payouts: Difficulty and Number of Bars
Two settings shape every round. The Difficulty is Stake’s volatility setting: lower levels give more consistent, smaller payouts, while higher levels bring more volatility and the chance of much larger rewards. The number of bars changes the payout structure too: the fewer bars you pick, the bigger the multipliers can be.
That is as far as Stake’s Bars page goes. It prints no multiplier list for any Difficulty or number of bars, and it does not say how a round on several bars is paid. Stake puts the top win at 3,000x your bet, but it does not say which mix of bars and Difficulty reaches it.
Stake lists a single RTP for Bars: 98%, with no separate figure per Difficulty or number of bars. Over a long run of rounds that is about $2 kept for every $100 wagered. From Bronze VIP ($10,000 wagered), or from sign-up with code BONUSTIIME once Stake support activates it, Stake’s rakeback returns 3.5% of that edge, about 7 cents per $100.
Keno also has you pick from a board, 1 to 10 of 40 numbers, with the same Random Pick and Clear Table buttons, and runs at 99% RTP. Cases uses the same four levels, from Easy to Expert, and runs at 98% RTP like Bars. To compare every Original, see our house edge table.
What the House Edge Costs
An average cost per $100 wagered, not a fee on each bet.

|---|---|---|

Bars Strategy: What You Can Control
You control
- Your bet size and how many rounds you play
- How many bars you pick, from 1 to 5, and the Difficulty
- A loss limit and a time limit, set before you start
You don’t control
- The multipliers revealed on the table: every round is random
- The house edge, built into the payouts
- Streaks: the last round has no effect on the next
Doubling your bet after each loss (Martingale) does not change the edge. It makes losing runs more expensive, and it stops at Stake’s maximum bet and maximum profit per bet. Leaving the same bars locked in is no system either: it only saves you picking them again before each round.
18+. Play with money you can afford to lose. Stake lets you set limits or self-exclude: see our Stake self-exclusion guide and our responsible gambling page.
How to Check a Bars Round
Bars turns your seeds into the multipliers revealed across the grid, at the Difficulty and number of bars you set. Replay a round with the same seeds, nonce, settings and bars, and you get the same result.
- Before you play, open Fairness in the game and note the hashed server seed.
- After your session, rotate your seed: Stake reveals the old server seed.
- Hash it, compare it with the one you noted, then replay any round with your client seed and nonce.

Stake Bars FAQ
Is Stake Bars Rigged?
No. The multipliers revealed on the grid come from your client seed, Stake's server seed and the nonce, and Stake shows the server seed's hash first. Once that seed is revealed, you can replay any Bars round with the same Difficulty and bars and get the same multipliers.
What Is the RTP of Stake Bars?
Stake lists Bars' RTP at 98%, which leaves a 2% house edge. Over many rounds that is about $2 kept per $100 wagered. Stake gives one figure for the game, not one per Difficulty or number of bars.
What Is the Max Win on Stake Bars?
3,000x your bet, the top win on Stake's Bars page. Stake says fewer bars and a higher Difficulty raise the payout potential, but it does not say which setting reaches 3,000x. Any win is also capped by Stake's maximum profit per bet.
How Many Bars Should You Pick in Stake Bars?
Anything from 1 to 5: no number beats the house edge. Stake says the fewer bars you select, the bigger the payout potential of the multipliers, so a single bar aims highest. It publishes no multiplier list or odds for each number of bars.
What Do Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert Mean in Bars?
They are the four Difficulty levels. Stake says lower levels give more consistent, smaller payouts, while higher levels add volatility and the chance of much larger rewards. Stake lists a single 98% RTP for the game, and no level beats the house edge.
What Does Clear Table Do in Stake Bars?
It ends the lock on your bars. Stake says the bars you choose stay locked in place for each round until you click Clear Table, so pressing Bet again plays the same bars. Press Clear Table when you want new ones, picked by hand or with Random Pick.
