The Stake Casino Tarot Game is Live (First Impressions)

Stake has added a new card game called Tarot to its popular Stake Originals lineup. This one is sure to be a favorite among players inclined towards astrological mysticism and Tarot fun!

With Tarot, Stake adds to its growing library of Stake Originals, which are designed in-house by Stake. These Stake Originals go beyond the traditional table or slot games and are relatively fast paced, revealing prizes in a matter of seconds.

The style of the game is sleek and modern like the other Stake Original games, but it also mimics the feel of traditional Tarot cards and fortune reading.

What Is Tarot?

Tarot distills the mystery of tarot cards into a quick, three-card flip that decides your fate in seconds. It is quick to learn, fun to play, and contains huge multipliers of up to 5,000x your play amount. The gameplay is designed to be minimal but fun, you flip three cards, reveal your multipliers, and count your potential winnings.

You can think of Tarot as a quick mini reading, where the various types of cards are pure multipliers, determining your fortune. In fact, just like classic Tarot cards, the game has a deck of 78 cards in total, including both the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana cards.

The Major Arcana cards, which sit in the center, indicate the base multiplier for a round. Then, the Minor Arcana cards, revealed one at a time, make adjustments to the total winnings. So, your winnings depend on the first base multiplier card (Major Arcana) and eventual additions or subtractions from flipping the left and right cards (Minor Arcana) respectively.

What Is the Aim of Tarot?

Your objective in this game of Tarot is to land a multiplier card you like and avoid the cards that decrease your chance of winning prizes.

The Major Arcana card in the center flips first and gives you a base multiplier. Then, the Minor Arcana cards flip one at a time, starting from the left, and then the right. These Minor Arcana cards can boost your base, reduce it, or even turn it to 0x.

The real fun part of Tarot is that each card flip feels consequential. Once you know your base multiplier card, you start to think about how the next cards impact your overall winnings. It is possible that the left card flip makes you nervous about the outcome of a round, hoping for that right card to resulting in a good recovery!

How to Play Tarot?

Once you have logged on to your Stake account, you can search for Tarot or head on over to the Stake Originals library.

Tarot is paced for a quick gameplay, but you still have control over risk. It offers 4 modes of difficulty, starting from Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert.

Just pick the mode that fits your goals, set your gameplay amount, and start playing.

As you start to play, three cards appear in the following order: Middle, Left, and Right. Your winnings are calculated using a simple and transparent formula, i.e., Play Amount x Left Card x Middle Card x Right Card.

It is worth noting that if either the left or the right card shows 0x, your round will end immediately. The game promises maximum winnings of up to 5000x, which is massive!

Tarot Game Tips

If you’re playing this style of game for the first time, Tarot is a great way to learn the ropes. Consider starting on Easy or Medium mode of difficulty to get a sense of the volatility levels of the game.

Play a few test rounds to see how the reveal of the left and right cards impacts the base multiplier. Once comfortable, you can try the Hard or Expert mode of play for bigger win caps.

The Medium difficulty offers a nice balance between risk and reward, with a maximum multiplier of 320x offered on this mode of difficulty. Other difficulty modes offer the following maximum caps on winnings:

• Easy mode: max 20x
• Medium mode: max 320x
• Hard mode: max 1176x
• Expert mode: max 5000x

It is also possible to automate the rounds of play, setting gameplay conditions such that there is an automatic stop loss, take-profit and so on.

The game is based on provably fair random number generator (RNG) mechanics, so managing your gameplay amount is the best strategy.

Summary Stake Originals: Tarot

The new Stake Original, Tarot, is great for players who want minimal fuss when it comes to the transparency, tracking bonus structures, and easy gameplay.

Unlike Stake’s table or slot titles, Tarot doesn’t ask you to track paylines, bonus meters, or scatter triggers. The premise is as minimal as it gets: three cards, one formula, one outcome.

Tarot is a great addition to the popular slate of Tarot Originals, providing a fun modern twist on the mysticism surrounding Tarot cards and fortune draws.

The only downside I can anticipate is that the repetitive gameplay flow of flipping three cards over and over may lose some of its thrill over time. But that is not necessarily a bad thing.

For new players, Tarot is an easy game promising fun and winnings as there are no specific rules to learn. For regular players, the quick gameplay will make you want to play more and more rounds, making you wonder how the next card would impact your base multiplier.
