How to Play Zoo on Stake
How to play Zoo on Stake Casino - Stake Originals casino game guide
Here at Stake, we’re always looking for fun and innovative new ways to play casino games. That’s why our Stake Originals team has created Zoo, a fast-paced, multiplayer animal-themed betting game.
In our Zoo casino game, you and other players will join a live round and bet on any of the animals, and you’ll win payouts based on how many times your chosen animal appears during the round. In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know before you play at Stake Casino.
What is Zoo, a Stake Original casino game?
Zoo is inspired by popular games like Roulette and Sic Bo, while designed to be simpler and more exciting. The multiplayer aspect and live betting mean you can play a lot of exciting rounds in a short time, with different animals that offer different payouts.
Aside from being fast-paced and easy to play, Zoo also offers a very favourable 98% RTP rate, which isn’t affected by which animals you choose to bet on. Although the chance of a win changes based on which animal you select, the payout sizes are adjusted fairly to keep house edges at just 2% on all animals. The game’s random number generators ensure each outcome is provably fair.
Your payout is affected by how many times your animal appears, and it’s possible to land a win of 1,000x your bet from a single round.
How to get started playing Zoo at Stake?
Zoo is a really simple game to get started playing. Just follow these steps to join in with the fun:
Sign up or log in and make a deposit.
Load up the game and place a bet on one or more of the 6 animals before the timer expires.
The circular track will then spin clockwise and stop 3 times, and you’ll receive a payout based on how many times your animal appeared that round.
Key game mechanics and features found in Zoo
Zoo is an excellent game for beginners thanks to its simple mechanics and straightforward gameplay. If you’ve ever played games like Roulette before, you’ll be familiar with these mechanics and gameplay features:
Betting options explained
Before each round begins, you can select your bet, choosing which animal you’d like to bet on. Penguins are the most common, taking up half of the tiles on the wheel, but they pay out the least. If you’re hoping for higher volatility, with lower frequency wins but larger win multipliers, you can bet on Lions or Cheetahs.
Live rounds
Every game round in Zoo is live and you’ll be playing with other players, which means you’ll have a set amount of time to place your bet before the wheel spins. The timer tells you how long you have left to join before the next round starts. Joining is as simple as choosing your animal and setting your bet. Every player sees the same outcome, and total wins are shown at the end, so you can see what other players are winning.
Auto betting
While you can place a manual mode bet, the easiest option is to set auto play, which will place your bet of choice for a set number of rounds. Your chosen bet will be placed for successive rounds until the number of bets you chose has been completed. Use the auto mode responsibly, ensuring you’re still playing within your budget.
Understanding Zoo’s payout odds, symbols and RTP
Before you play any game, it’s good to look over the rules, Return to Player (RTP) rate and payouts so you understand how the game works. Our Zoo casino game has an RTP rate of 98%, with a house edge of just 2%.
The payout odds vary depending on the animal you bet on:
Penguin: 50% chance per spin
Rhino: 20% chance per spin
Crocodile: 10% chance per spin
Elephant: 10% chance per spin
Cheetah: 5% chance per spin
Lion: 5% chance per spin
Tips and strategies to win while playing Zoo on Stake Casino
Playing Zoo is a lot like how you would play Roulette, where you select a number on the wheel and wait to see if your number lands. Just like Roulette, there’s no way to increase your chances of winning, but there are still tips you can follow for success:
