$50K Stake vs Eddie: How It Works + This Week's Slot Review

Stake vs Eddie is Stake Casino's weekly slot challenge, named after co-founder Eddie (Ed) Craven. Each week, Stake picks one slot and sets Eddie's target multiplier for it. Match or beat the target multiplier, and you share the prize pool.

Below, we explain how the promotion works, why the bonus buy maths matters, and how this week's slot plays. We update this page every week when Stake reveals the new game.

This week's challenge takes us to Hacksaw Gaming's Spicy SixSixSix, with a target of 540x. Here are the key details at a glance.

Each week, Stake picks one slot and sets a target multiplier for it. If you land a single win at or above that multiplier during the promotion week, you qualify. There is no race for top spots. All qualifying players share the same pool.

H2> How the Target Multiplier is Calculated

Stake measures your multiplier against the total amount you paid for the bet, not your base bet. This matters most if you plan to use bonus buys.

All bet types count, including bonus buys. The catch is that a bonus buy raises your total bet, so the win needed to reach 540x rises with it. The table below shows how this plays out at a $1 base bet.

Spicy SixSixSix caps wins at 16,666x your base bet. That puts the last three rows out of reach, as no buy at 50x or above can return 540x its cost.

In short, only standard spins and Wicked FeatureSpins can qualify this week. Keep this in mind before spending on the pricier buys during the promotion.

H2> Prizes, Leaderboard and Payouts

The full $50,000 USD pool is shared between every qualifying player. If 100 players hit 540x, each would get $500. If 1,000 qualify, each share drops to $50.

Stake posts a daily updated leaderboard on the promotion page, so you can check your status during the week. Winners lists go up on the Stake forum after each weekly promotion closes.

To check whether a win counts, open the bet in your Stake bet history and look at its multiplier. Remember it must be 540x of the total bet.

Stake asks winners to allow up to 48 hours for payment, which arrives as a coupon link. If you think you qualified but have no message after 72 hours, contact Stake support.

H2> This Week's Slot Review: Spicy SixSixSix

Spicy SixSixSix is a Stake-exclusive Hacksaw Gaming slot with a 96.15% RTP and a max win of 16,666x, a nice nod to its 666 theme. It is high volatility, so wins land less often but can be large. Bets run from 0.10 to 2,000.00 per spin.

H3> Symbols and Paytable

The paytable splits into five low-pay symbols and five premium symbols, with the Rock Hand as the top payer. These values are based on a 1.00 bet.

H3> Wicked Wheels

If you want to beat Eddie's target, the Wicked Wheels feature is where it happens. A wheel pops up wherever a 6 symbol lands, then spins to hand you a prize.

Those 6 symbols appear only on reels 1, 3, and 5, and never more than one per reel. So three wheels at once is the most you can get. The wheels come in two colours, and the gap between them is huge. Here is how they stack up.

Blue wheels can also trigger the free spins, which is how you reach the red ones in normal play. With multipliers up to 500x, a red wheel is the single biggest thing working in your favour for this challenge.

H3> Free Spins Bonus Rounds

Three free spins rounds are available, and each gives 10 spins. The more wheels that land a 6 at once, the better the bonus.

H3> Deal with the Devil

When you trigger Speak of the Devil or Let Hell Break Loose!, you can choose to make a Deal with the Devil. Accept, and a wheel spins with values from 5 to 20.

The number it lands on becomes your new free spins total. That means you could finish with more than 10 spins or fewer.

H3> Bonus Buys

Four bonus buys are on offer, from 10x Wicked FeatureSpins up to the 250x Let Hell Break Loose! bonus. The multiplier table earlier in this guide shows every cost and why only the 10x option can reach 540x.

H3> Can You Hit 540x on Spicy SixSixSix?

The 540x target is about 3% of the max win, so it sits within the game's range. Still, a single five-of-a-kind Rock Hand line pays only 50x.

Max wins do land. On October 8, three players hit the full 16,666x on bets of around $0.10, according to Stake's Lucky Wins board.

To reach 540x, you will almost always need help from Wicked Wheel multipliers or a free spins round. With high volatility, that can take many spins, so set a budget before you start.

You can try the Spicy SixSixSix demo on Stake first to see how the wheels and bonuses play out, at no cost.

H3> Our Take

[Add your verdict here. Mention how often the Wicked Wheels showed up in your demo spins, how the free spins rounds felt, and whether you took the Deal with the Devil. Finish with a score out of 10.]

H2> Stake vs Eddie FAQ

Who is Eddie in Stake vs Eddie?

Eddie is Ed Craven, one of Stake's co-founders. The promotion is named in his honour, and players try to beat his weekly target multiplier.

What is the Stake vs Eddie slot this week?

From October 5 to October 12, 2026, the slot is Spicy SixSixSix by Hacksaw Gaming. The target multiplier is 540x.

Do bonus buys count towards the target?

Yes, all bet types count. The multiplier is measured against the full cost of the buy, so pricier buys need much bigger wins to qualify.
