Shuffle Launches Stonks Original With Up to 1,000x Leverage

Crypto casino Shuffle has introduced Stonks, a new addition to its Originals portfolio built around a continuously updating price chart.

Players choose whether the displayed price will rise or fall and select leverage between 10x and 1,000x. The chart is randomly generated and does not track an underlying financial market, according to Shuffle’s published explanation. 

Leverage Changes Exposure to Price Moves

Leverage determines how strongly movements in the simulated price affect a bet’s value. A favourable move increases the potential return, while an unfavourable move brings the bet closer to its “bust price”, where the stake is lost.

Higher leverage places that threshold closer to the entry price. The game displays the bust level before the bet is placed, allowing players to see how their selected leverage changes the position. 

The leverage setting is separate from the optional cash-out multiplier. Players can choose a target at which the game automatically closes their bet, or cash out manually before it reaches the bust level.

Chart Updates Every Quarter-Second

Shuffle’s help centre states that the price updates every 250 milliseconds, with an equal probability of moving up or down on each update.

Each round lasts 24 hours, begins at a price of 1,000 and resets at midnight UTC. Any bets still open at the end of a round are automatically settled at its final price. Only one bet can remain open at a time. 

Stonks uses the presentation of leveraged trading within a casino game: players wager on the generated chart rather than acquire ownership of an asset.
