A Quiet Month on the Changelog, and What We're Rebuilding Underneath

Published 2026-09-03 · Tags: product

No new pages since mid-August and the site is not being wound down. The originals verifier core, Stake-matched bet panels, replays for every Engine slot.

If you follow the changelog you'll have noticed it's been quiet since mid-August. No new pages, no redesigns, a couple of small fixes. A few people asked if the site was being wound down. It isn't. Here's what's actually going on.

The originals verifier is being rebuilt from the core up

The verifier covers 18 Stake Originals today. Stake has more than that now, and the ones we're missing (Baccarat, Video Poker, Primedice, Tarot, Moles, and a handful of others) aren't small. They also don't fit the shape of the current code, which was built around "seeds in, one number out". Baccarat is a six-card deal with third-card rules. Video Poker is a shuffle plus player holds plus hand ranking. Moles is a multi-round whack chain where a bust ends the round early.

Rather than bolt each of those onto the old engine, we've pulled the game math out into a shared core that every game (and every future tool) uses. Same evaluators for the verifier, for the analyzer, for the deep-dive scanner. It's slower to ship and it's the right call: the next game added takes a day instead of a week.

The target is every Stake Original, with the Analyze mode (run thousands of bets, see P/L, streaks and the biggest hits) available on all of them, not just Dice and Limbo. Not far off.

The bet panels are being redone to match Stake

Small thing with a big effect on how often people get the inputs wrong. The verifier's controls for each game are being rebuilt to mirror Stake's own: the Primedice range slider with handles, the Mines count slider with the gems readout, the staggered Moles board. If the panel looks like the one you just used on Stake, you set it the same way and the result matches on the first try.

Replays for every Engine slot

The Max-Win Generator can show you a slot's biggest possible spin in Stake's real engine. It only works for games where we've harvested the replay metadata, which is about 1,400 of them. The harvester is being rewritten to cover the full catalog. This one is mostly waiting on data rather than code, and we'll announce the count when it lands.

Also in progress

A slot search in the top bar. A proper payout calendar for the vault (people with drip locks have asked for this for months). A batch claim for the vault so you don't sign ten transactions for ten locks. And a general tidy-up of the desktop layout, which has grown a bit of a thicket.

Why tell you this

Because a quiet changelog on a site that has shipped something most weeks for a year looks like abandonment, and it's the opposite. September is heads-down. October should be loud.

Thanks for the patience. Telegram's still open if anything's actually broken.
