How to Play Tarot Social Casino Game on Stake - Stake Originals Guide
Tarot is one of the most exciting additions to the Stake Originals lineup, combining the mystery of Tarot Cards with fast-paced multiplier mechanics. Unlike the traditional table or slot games that we offer at Stake Social Casino, Tarot offers a unique three-card reveal that determines your wins in just a few seconds.
Every flip feels like a Tarot reading, where your fortune can rise, fall, or vanish depending on the major arcana and minor arcana revealed. With its sleek design, suspenseful gameplay, and the chance to hit a max win of up to 5,000x your play amount, Tarot is sure to be a favourite among fans of high-volatility social casino-style games at Stake.us.
What is Tarot by Stake Originals?
Each round of our Tarot social casino game is determined by 3 fortune cards. The multiplier of the centre (Major Arcana) card from the 78-card deck (22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana) can be increased, decreased or made 0x by subsequent draws of the side (Minor Arcana) cards.
The suspense builds with each reveal, making it an ideal choice for players who enjoy the unpredictability of video slots but want something faster and more streamlined in a Stake Exclusive title. Unlike an online slot machine, Tarot has no reels, winlines, slot symbols, or spinning animations - just a crisp flip, an instant multiplier, and your win amount.
Basics & Gameplay Overview
Each Tarot round begins with you selecting your difficulty level: Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert. Each option changes the risk level, with higher volatility offering larger win amount caps.
Once you’ve chosen your level and entered your play amount, 3 cards are revealed: Middle, Left, and Right Card. Here are the roles of each card:
Middle Card (Major Arcana): Sets the base multiplier.
Left Card (Minor Arcana): Adjusts the win multiplier.
Right Card (Minor Arcana): Applies the final multiplier, which determines your result.
If either side card shows 0x, the round ends instantly. If multipliers fall below 1x, your win amount shrinks. Stacking strong side cards can boost your win amount significantly.
Key Features & Game Mechanics of Tarot
At its core, Tarot is built around simple yet thrilling game mechanics: three cards, one formula, and fast results. The outcome formula is Play Amount x Left x Middle x Right = Win Amount. The Major Arcana cards act as base multipliers, while the Minor Arcana provide additive adjustments. For example:
Major Arcana might set a 50x multiplier
Left Minor Arcana reveals a 3x multiplier and increases it to 150x
Right Minor Arcana might then reveal another 3x multiplier bring the final win multiplier to 450x
Some of the standout features include:
Difficulty Modes: Adjust volatility to suit your style.
Autoplay: Automate rounds with advanced stop conditions.
Smooth Animations & Design: Inspired by traditional Tarot reading, yet clean and modern.
The tarot deck uses minimalist yet striking art that pays homage to classic symbolism. The simplicity means Tarot is perfect for both newcomers exploring our vast library of games and seasoned players seeking high-risk, high-reward play.
Tarot Social Casino Game Strategies & Tips
While no strategic system can beat random number generators (RNG), you can improve your chances and playing experience by playing smart. Here are a few game tips:
Know Your Risk Level: Start on Medium before moving to Hard or Expert.
Set Limits: Use Autoplay’s stop conditions to manage your playing balance and stay in control.
Embrace Variance: Remember that volatility means long stretches without wins can precede big win amounts.
Learn The Flow: Play through a few rounds with small play amounts before playing with larger stakes.
Unlike bonus features on slots, Tarot’s excitement comes from pure multipliers. Therefore, the best strategy is to employ smart playing styles and play balance management.
Maximum Win & RTP of Tarot
The math behind Tarot ensures fairness while maintaining high tension. The house edge is just 2.00%, giving Tarot favourable win odds with a 98.00% return-to-player (RTP). This percentage is very competitive, even compared with top-tier slot titles.
The maximum win amount depends on the difficulty level, with the multiplier, probability, and RTP all factoring in according to a mathematical formula. Simply put, you can expect these max win amounts for each difficulty setting:
Easy: Max 20x, low risk and volatility
Medium: Max 320x, balanced risk
Hard: Max 1,176x, high tension
Expert: Max 5,000x, maximum volatility
Here’s a look at the chances of landing the different cards as you play in Medium mode.
| Card | Chances |
|---|---|
| 0.00x Grey Card | 19.00% |
| 0.30x Grey Card | 50.00% |
