Stakes
Stakes are harder ways to play a normal run. Each one stacks on the one before it, and each opens when you win a run at the one below.
Stakes are part of the $4.99 full-game unlock. They are not in the free first run or the daily run.
| Stake | What changes | How it opens |
|---|---|---|
| Red Chip | 1 fewer reroll per throw. | Win a run on the standard game. |
| Black Chip | Red rules, plus shop prices up $1. | Win a run at Red Chip. |
| Gold Chip | Black rules, plus a boss at Round 3 as well as Round 5 and Round 9. | Win a run at Black Chip. |
Red Chip
You get one fewer reroll on every throw. With two rerolls a throw that means one, or two if you own Second Wind. Hands that need a lot of looks, such as straights, get harder.
Black Chip
Everything in Red Chip, and every price at the charm stand goes up by $1. Charms, Sharpen and restocks all cost more, so each dollar counts for more.
Gold Chip
Everything in Black Chip, and a third boss at Round 3, on top of the bosses at Round 5 and Round 9. You meet the House before you have built much of a rack.
Your records
The app keeps your best result at each stake.
More: Endless carries on past Round 9. The bosses are listed with a plan for each.
