What Is Stake Darts?
Quick answer
Stake Darts is an in-house Stake game: you throw a dart at a board of multipliers, and it pays your bet times the one it lands on. Stake sets its RTP at 98%, a 2% house edge. Difficulty sets the range of multipliers: 0.5x to 8.5x on Easy, 0.1x to 500x on Expert.
- Each multiplier shows its Chance before you bet
- Every throw can be checked with your own seed
- !At Expert the lowest multiplier is 0.1x

How to Play Darts on Stake
- Open Darts from the Stake Originals lobby. Stay on the Manual tab to place each bet yourself.
- Enter your Bet Amount in the currency you hold. The ½ and 2× buttons halve or double it.
- Set the Difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard or Expert. The multipliers on the board change with it.
- Read the multipliers on screen. Each one shows its Profit on Win and its Chance.
- Press Bet to throw a dart. It pays your bet times the multiplier it lands on.
- You can place more than one bet at the same time: Stake calls this asynchronous betting. The Auto tab plays a series of bets for you.
Stake’s own page says Darts has no bonus features, so there is no bonus round to trigger. It calls the multipliers on the board the key to winning. That leaves two choices that shape your results: your Bet Amount and your Difficulty.
Darts Difficulty and Payouts
Difficulty is the only setting that changes the multipliers. Each level puts its own set of multipliers on the board. Easy keeps them close together, from 0.5x to 8.5x. Each step up lowers the bottom multiplier and raises the top one, until Expert runs from 0.1x to 500x.
Any multiplier under 1x returns only part of your bet. Medium’s lowest multiplier, 0.4x, pays back $4 on a $10 bet, so that throw loses $6. At Expert the lowest is 0.1x, or $1 back on $10. The higher levels trade a lower bottom multiplier for a bigger top one.
Stake lists a single RTP for Darts: 98%, with no separate figure for any Difficulty. Over a long run of throws 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. Difficulty changes how your wins are spread, so pick the swing your budget can take.
Cases and Bars, two other drop-and-reveal Originals with the same Easy to Expert Difficulty, also run at 98% RTP. 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.
| Edge | Cost | After rakeback |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | $2.00 | $1.93 |
| Difficulty | Lowest multiplier | Top multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 0.5x | 8.5x |
| Medium | 0.4x | 16x |
| Hard | 0.2x | 63x |
| Expert | 0.1x | 500x |
Darts Strategy: What You Can Control
You control
- Your bet size and how many darts you throw
- Difficulty: a narrow range on Easy, a wide one on Expert
- A loss limit and a time limit, set before you start
You don’t control
- Where the dart lands: every throw is random
- The house edge, built into every multiplier
- Streaks: the last throw 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. Throwing several darts at once does not help either: each one is a separate bet. Auto plays your bets for you, so decide your loss limit before you switch it on.

How to Check a Darts Throw
On Darts, your seeds and the nonce settle one thing per throw: where the dart lands. Difficulty decides which multipliers are on the board; the landing spot decides which one pays you. Stake builds each result from an HMAC-SHA256 hash of your seeds and the nonce.
- 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 throw with your client seed and nonce.

Stake Darts FAQ
Is Stake Darts Rigged?
No. Where the dart lands comes from your client seed, Stake's server seed and the nonce, and the game shows the multipliers for your Difficulty, each with its Chance. Stake publishes the hashed server seed first, so you can replay any throw once the seed is revealed.
What Is the Max Win on Stake Darts?
500x your bet, at Expert Difficulty. The other levels top out lower: 8.5x on Easy, 16x on Medium and 63x on Hard. Any win is also capped by Stake's maximum profit per bet.
What Is the RTP of Stake Darts?
Stake lists Darts' RTP at 98%, which leaves a 2% house edge. Over many throws that is about $2 kept per $100 wagered.
Does Difficulty Change Darts' RTP?
No. Stake lists one RTP for Darts, 98%, whatever Difficulty you choose. Difficulty only changes which multipliers sit on the board, so it shapes how your wins are spread, not what Stake keeps over time.
What Is the Lowest Multiplier on Stake Darts?
It depends on the Difficulty: 0.5x on Easy, 0.4x on Medium, 0.2x on Hard and 0.1x on Expert. A result under 1x returns only part of your bet: 0.2x on a $10 bet pays back $2.
Can You Throw Several Darts at Once on Stake?
Yes. Stake calls it asynchronous betting: you can place more than one bet at the same time, as in Plinko. Each dart is a bet of its own, so throwing more at once raises the total you wager. Stake's own page tells you to bet wisely when you do.
