#Telegram is reportedly testing a built-in casino-style feature called Emoji Stake in its latest Android Beta. This "mini-game" platform expands on Telegram's existing animated dice and slot machine emojis.

Key Features
* Game Mechanics: Users can place bets using virtual currency (💎) on dice rolls. The UI features a "Save and Roll" button and a dedicated field for bet entries.
* Streak System: Winnings or gameplay "series" reset after three consecutive rolls or if the user changes their bet size.
* Social & Competitive: Players can see their own win/loss record alongside the results of other users, adding a community gambling element.
* Limited Beta: Currently described as a "limited playtest" for a small group of users to gather feedback before a potential global rollout.

[!IMPORTANT]
Since these details are based on code discovery in the Beta version, the final implementation or official release may change.
