Stake's Originals, Plinko, Mines, Dice, Limbo, Crash and Keno, are the house games everyone else copies, and the good news for anyone leaving Stake is that they are the easiest thing to replace. The mechanics are near-universal because most run on the same handful of engines. This guide maps each Original to where you can play a faithful clone, flags the one thing that actually differs between versions, and points you to the sites that do them best.
Why the clones are so faithful
Plinko is Plinko wherever you play it: a ball drops through pegs into multiplier buckets, and the maths behind the bounce is the same idea everywhere. The reason is that a small number of game engines power most crypto-casino Originals, so a rival's Mines or Crash is usually the same game wearing different art. That is why switching away from Stake costs you almost nothing on the house games, even when it costs you on catalogue size or coin range.
The one caveat worth repeating: a clone that looks identical is not guaranteed to run the same RTP. Two Plinko games can differ by a point or two of return, and over a long session that gap compounds. Check the paytable, not just the graphics, and where the game is provably fair you can verify a round yourself, see our provably-fair walkthrough.
The mapping: each Original and where to play it
| Stake Original | How it plays | Clone name elsewhere | Provably fair? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plinko | Ball drops through pegs into multiplier buckets; pick risk level and rows | Plinko (near-universal) | Usually yes |
| Mines | Reveal tiles, avoid the bombs, cash out before you hit one | Mines / Goal / Mine Field | Usually yes |
| Dice | Roll over or under a target number you set | Dice (near-universal) | Usually yes |
| Limbo | Set a target multiplier and hope the roll clears it | Limbo / crash-style | Usually yes |
| Crash | Cash out before the rising curve busts | Crash / Aviator / Rocket | Usually yes |
| Keno | Pick numbers, match the draw for multipliers | Keno | Usually yes |
Plinko and Mines
The two most-cloned Originals. You will find both at essentially every crypto casino with a house-games section. The versions worth playing are the provably-fair ones where you can verify the drop or the tile reveal, among the sites we track, Stake, BC.Game, Rollbit and Roobet all run first-party versions. Rollbit's Mines and Plinko are named directly in its Originals line-up.
Dice and Limbo
The simplest to verify, because the outcome is a single number from the seed formula. If you want to learn provably-fair checking, Dice is the game to practise on, one roll, one nonce, one result to confirm. Nearly every provably-fair casino carries both.
Crash and Aviator
Crash has the widest set of variants because it crosses over with the standalone Aviator and Rocket-style games. Roobet built much of its brand on crash, and Rollbit, Rainbet and the rest carry their own takes. If crash is your main game, the feel and the auto-cashout options vary more between sites than the underlying maths, so it's worth trying a few.
Where to find the best Originals overall
If Originals are the reason you're switching, weight the sites that run first-party provably-fair house games rather than aggregators that only license third-party slots. Stake is the reference. BC.Game carries 70-odd Originals, one of the widest sets. Wild.io, Shuffle, Rollbit and Roobet all run verifiable house games. Our ranked comparison notes which brands have first-party Originals versus a third-party library.
Stake Originals FAQ
Can I play Plinko and Mines somewhere other than Stake?
Yes, both are near-universal. Almost every crypto casino with a house-games section runs a Plinko and a Mines clone, most of them provably fair. BC.Game, Rollbit, Roobet and Wild.io all carry first-party versions among the sites we track.
Are the clones the same as Stake's Originals?
The mechanics are usually identical because most run on the same engines, but the RTP can differ by a point or two between sites, which matters over a long session. Check the paytable, and where the game is provably fair, verify a round to confirm the result.
