How Hilo works

How it plays
Hilo is a card game developed by Stake. The player chooses whether the next card will be higher or lower than the current one, and each correct answer builds a streak. This page covers only the rules and figures that Stake publishes and offers no way to win.
Before each round, the player decides on a stake, and one card on the table serves as the current card.
The player chooses whether the next card will be higher or lower than the current one, places the bet and the next card is revealed.
Once the card is revealed, the player can cash out or make another choice to continue the streak. The multiplier is shown beneath the cards.
Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. Stake Originals use a provable fairness system, and this site gives no betting advice.
