Snakes

What is Snakes?

MetaWin Snakes is a game that puts decisions in your hands, while adding an escalating multiplier similar to games like Mines and tower climb titles. It is available as part of our MetaWin Originals collection of in-house crypto-friendly games. Your goal during gameplay is to roll two dice and play across a progressive multiplier board, with safe tiles allowing you to continue and snakes ending the round instantly.

The UI sticks to the less-is-more approach that defines our MetaWin Originals titles. A stripped-back dark theme makes the game visually consistent across desktop and mobile, with betting controls kept within a single click or touch. It is an interface that has been kept purposefully simple to put the focus on gameplay.

The core gameplay revolves around a board divided into a 4x4 grid of tiles you land on when rolling the dice. It brings board game dynamics to players as the total you roll determines if you land on a safe tile or a snake.

Each successful roll advances the player one step further through the round and increases the active payout multiplier. As you survive more rolls, the multiplier grows incrementally, creating a familiar push-your-luck situation that also serves as the core tension of the game.

MetaWin Originals Snakes fits with the philosophy of our in-house collection of games by giving players configurable difficulty that changes volatility. You can adjust the number of snakes hidden on the board, changing the volatility profile of the game. Plus, the provably fair system brings a verifiable fairness layer that allows you to check round results.

The game fits well in the MetaWin Originals series alongside similar titles like Dragon Tower and Mines, all offering decision-and-reveal mechanics.

Once you're set up, it takes just a few minutes to learn how to play MetaWin Snakes. Before the round begins, pick the amount you want to bet and then select one of the five difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, or Master.

1. Easy - 1 snake (16.67% chance) with max 32x multiplier
2. Medium - 3 snakes (43.33% chance) with max 1,024x multiplier
3. Hard - 5 snakes (55.56% chance) with max 23,730x multiplier
4. Expert - 7 snakes (72.22% chance) with max 100,000x multiplier
5. Master - 9 snakes (94.44% chance) with max $250,000 USD win

Gameplay starts with two dice rolling, with both dice having a value of 1 to 6, which means totals range from 2 to 12. There is a square 2x4 board around the dice with multiplier values or snakes on them. If you land safely, you increase the progressive multiplier and can choose to move on to the next round. Landing on a snake ends the round instantly, and you'll lose your stake.

You'll be able to cash out your existing multiplier amount after every successful roll, locking your winnings from the round. Snakes plays over five rounds and there is no time limit you need to follow between rolls. This means you can have plenty of time to choose whether to cash out or keep playing.

Snakes Features and Mechanics

At its core, the Snakes multiplier crypto game is a risk-and-reward system where you take control of volatility and aim for progressively larger payouts. It puts a lot of the gameplay in your hands, including the ability to set the variance you want and when to cash out or play on. This separates it from passive RNG games, so you get mechanics that feel more interactive.

The difficulty toggle is the defining mechanic because it sets the tone for how you play, the variance of a round, and your potential payout. Easier settings include fewer snake tiles, making safe progression more likely but keeping multiplier growth modest. Harder settings dramatically increase snake density, reducing survival odds while boosting the multiplier awarded for each successful roll.

Because of the cash-out-anytime structure, you have control over how much risk you take throughout a round. You'll be able to stop after any successful roll or move to the next roll to play for a bigger multiplier. There is a clear push-your-luck dynamic that is also a part of some of our other MetaWin Originals games, including Mines and Dragon Tower.

The MetaWin Snakes provably fair system ensures all outcomes are transparent and verifiable. Before the first tile is selected, snake positions are already fixed using the cryptographic server and client seed data. Once the round ends, you can verify the layout independently, ensuring the board was not altered during gameplay.

Snakes RTP and Volatility

MetaWin Snakes RTP is 98%, which means a house edge of 2% and fits with the high RTP philosophy of our MetaWin Originals lineup. The focus of the game is on transparent outcomes driven by player-controlled variance and probability. That means the RTP stays consistent no matter what style you play.

Volatility in Snakes is more varied and comes down to the difficulty setting you play with. Lower settings reduce the number of snakes and produce steadier, low-volatility gameplay, with more frequent successful rolls and smaller multiplier growth across the board. These modes tend to favor longer runs if you're playing across a big session.

When you move to higher levels, the volatility becomes dramatic. There are more snakes on each row, so you have a higher chance of losing when you pick. Progressions may be less frequent, but when they do happen, the multipliers and payouts are bigger.

Tips for Playing Snakes

1. Choose the right difficulty for your budget - choose a lower difficulty if you're on a smaller budget or want to pace yourself across a session. A higher difficulty is for high-risk swings if you like an all-or-nothing approach.
2. Set a cash-out point before each round to avoid the "one more row" trap of emotional betting. This helps balance control through a session.
3. Every round is independent - there are no hot or cold streaks during a session. There is no situation where the game is "due" because snake positions are random and fixed before a game starts.
4. Verify outcomes with provably fair - server and client data allow you to use the fairness tool to independently check that there was no tampering in the result.
5. Gamble responsibly - setting yourself a clear bankroll before you play helps you gamble within your limits, especially on fast-moving games like Snakes.
