Since I’m always a bit absent-minded, I hadn’t realized that Stake House Den was already available to play. I had actually bought a pack about a week ago and just left it there, waiting for the right time to open it—only to discover a few days later that it had already been unlocked! Still, better late than never. I finally got around to opening it and trying out the game.
For those of you who’ve either played in a casino or set one up with friends (as I have—especially playing 21 Blackjack), you’ll find this game easy to get into. Stake House Den currently offers three types of games: Roulette, 21 Blackjack, and Slots. Out of these, my personal favorites are Blackjack and Slots.
When I opened my pack, the cards I got weren’t anything extraordinary, but they were a decent starting point. I’m still figuring out exactly what can be done with them, but I’m learning as I go. I plan to keep buying a pack or two each week just to see what new cards I can get—it’s always exciting to test your luck. The card designs are based on the classic casino deck, and like many online card games, they come with varying rarities. So far, I haven’t pulled any ultra-rare cards, but I’m hopeful that it’s just a matter of time.
Now, as for the games themselves:
Let’s start with the one I enjoyed the least—Roulette. I’ve never really liked this type of game. It reminds me of playing in the casinos in GTA: San Andreas—I could never win, and that hasn’t changed here. I didn’t win a single round of Roulette in Stake House Den. That said, I won’t completely give up on it just yet, but for now, I’ll be sticking with the other two games.
Slots are currently my favorite. There’s something incredibly addictive about watching the symbols spin and line up. It’s thrilling to see those combinations come together, especially when you win big. My best win so far was 12,600 coins—my highest yet in this game, and it definitely motivated me to keep playing.
21 Blackjack is also excellent. It feels exactly like the real-life games I used to play with friends. We even went as far as making our own chips using out-of-circulation bills and coin pieces from my country. The gameplay in Stake House Den is smooth, fun, and quite addictive. I’ve had a few wins, though not as much as in the slots, but still enough to keep me coming back.
