The other option is the Ladder Gamble, which has progressively increasing amounts. Press on the ladder button after a win and gamble half or all of your stake. If you win, you will get the highlighted amount, if not, you move one step below the ladder.
You can subject the whole or half of your won sum into any of the 2 gamble games. Press the bag symbol before making your choice to do so. By using the Split button, you save half and put at stake the other half.
