Mines is Minesweeper turned into a casino game. Spribe, the studio behind Aviator, built it around a simple choice: how much risk do you want? You set how many mines hide in a 5×5 grid, then reveal tiles one by one. Every safe tile raises your multiplier; one mine ends the round. Cash out whenever you like.

How Mines plays
Choose your stake and the number of mines, then click tiles. Each safe tile reveals a star and raises your multiplier. You can cash out after any safe tile and take your stake times the current multiplier. Hit a mine and you lose the stake. That’s the entire game, and it makes every click a decision.
The maths of each click
Because the grid has 25 tiles, the odds of your first click being safe are easy to work out: the safe tiles divided by 25. Each later click is slightly riskier, because there are fewer safe tiles left. The multipliers are set so the return stays around the published 97% whatever you choose.
| Mines on the grid | Safe tiles | Chance the first click is safe |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24 | 96% |
| 3 | 22 | 88% |
| 5 | 20 | 80% |
| 10 | 15 | 60% |
| 20 | 5 | 20% |
More mines means bigger multipliers per tile and far less chance of surviving several clicks. Fewer mines means small, frequent gains. Neither changes the long-run return.
Provably fair, and why no strategy beats it
Like Aviator, Mines uses a provably fair system, so each round can be verified after it’s played. Mine positions are random every round, and there’s no pattern, tile order or “safe corner” that improves your odds. Apps and signals claiming to predict mine positions are scams.
FAQ
What is the Mines RTP?
Spribe publishes 97%, which means a 3% house edge over the long run.
How many mines should I choose?
It only changes how the risk is spread. Fewer mines give smaller, more frequent wins; more mines give bigger multipliers that are much harder to reach.
Can Mines be predicted?
No. Mine positions are random and provably fair, so prediction apps can’t work.
