New in the Stake Casino lobby
A big week of releases to go with the birthday festivities! The full lineup is on the new releases page, but here is what to spin first.
Only on Stake
The lights are on and the reels are alive with Lit City by Hacksaw Gaming, this week's headline exclusive game. The sequel to RIP City, this neon-soaked horror slot continues the Ross and Maxx saga, following wild cat Ross and gangster mouse Maxx across a 5x5 grid backed by a jazzy soundtrack. The star of the show is the expanding wild cat mechanic: wild cats stretch down the reels, and when they expand through a wild they turn into a multiplier of up to 200x across the whole symbol. With a high RTP of 97.43% and a 12,500x max win, this is truly a standout new release that you will only find it at Stake!
The rest of this week's exclusives:
Ganja Snail by Donut Gaming - a laid-back, quirky slot from Donut with cascading wins and a chilled-out theme.
Sweet Rush Fiesta Enhanced RTP by Pragmatic Play - a candy-coated cluster pays slot with a Stake-exclusive RTP boost.
