Stake.us is a free-to-play sweepstakes casino — no purchase necessary, and it's blocked in a number of US states. Our signup walkthrough covers which.
Outside the US, the same game is on Stake.com. Stake.com doesn't serve the US and isn't available in every country either, so check it's allowed where you live. That link carries no referral code.
Heads up: we built this one, so we're biased. We earn when you play it, and our Stake.us link carries our referral code. Play it for fun, set a budget first, and stop while it's still fun. Full disclosure.

The idea
Most collect-mechanic slots give you one collector and a meter that goes up. Abyss Collectors gives you two, and they're competing — which turns a progress bar into a race you can watch tighten in real time.
Captain Voss works the left of the board, landing on reels 1–3. Captain Nyx works the right, on reels 3–5. Both substitute for everything except the Leviathan Lantern scatter and each other. Every wild that lands gets vacuumed into its own captain's haul meter, and those two meters sit either side of the reels filling as you play, then reset when the round ends. You can see who's winning before anything resolves — that's the whole tension of the base game.
The Standoff
This is the moment the game is built around. When both captains' wilds land on the same spin, their submersibles rise on opposite sides of the grid, their tractor beams lock onto the collected value orbs floating between them, and a visible tug-of-war starts.
The orbs slide left and right along the beams with their values readable the whole time, and the two haul meters tick up and down as orbs change hands. The losing captain's whole haul transfers to the winner, and one of three outcomes follows:
- Voss wins — his wild goes sticky, expands to fill its reel, and the board respins.
- Nyx wins — ×2, ×5 or ×10 is added to the haul multiplier, which multiplies every line win from that spin on.
- Beams lock — +3 Free Spins, and one reel is upgraded to a richer strip for the rest of the round.
Deliberate design note: the drama here is watching a number grow, not watching two characters hit each other. We wanted the payoff to be economic rather than physical, because you're already invested in that number by the time the beams engage.
Free spins
Three, four or five Leviathan Lanterns dive you into Free Spins. The Haul Dial — the haul wheel — draws your spin count and a starting haul multiplier, and that draw replaces whatever the base game had built, so it can land higher or lower. From there the rivalry escalates: every Standoff Nyx wins adds to the haul multiplier for the rest of the round. Three or more Lanterns during the feature add +5 spins.
Why we built it
We wanted the screen always mid-story, so Abyss Collectors gets two collectors instead of one. Voss and Nyx fill their haul meters on opposite sides of the board, and you can see who's ahead before anything resolves. The Standoff is the payoff: two beams, one pile of loot, and a number you've been watching grow changing hands right in front of you.

Questions people actually ask
What is the Abyss Collectors RTP?
96.50% in every one of its five bet modes, and the table above lists each.
What is the max win on Abyss Collectors?
20,000× your bet, the second-highest of our twelve live games — only Nebula Raiders, at 25,000×, goes higher. The cap is the same in every mode.
How does the Standoff work?
When both captains' wilds land on the same spin, their submersibles rise on opposite sides of the grid and drag the collected value orbs back and forth in a visible tug-of-war. The loser's whole haul goes to the winner. Then: if Voss wins, his wild goes sticky, fills its reel and the board respins; if Nyx wins, ×2, ×5 or ×10 is added to the haul multiplier; if the beams lock, you get +3 Free Spins and a reel upgrade.
What's the difference between Captain Voss and Captain Nyx?
They're the two collect wilds and they occupy different parts of the board — Voss lands on reels 1 to 3, Nyx on reels 3 to 5. Both substitute for everything except the Leviathan Lantern scatter and each other, and each feeds its own haul meter. They also win the Standoff differently: Voss with a sticky, reel-filling wild, Nyx with a bigger haul multiplier.
