Mines payout calculator
and live simulator.
Pick a mine count, start a round, and reveal tiles for real — hit a mine and it's over, cash out any time to bank the multiplier. Every number on screen comes from the exact combinatorics formula, live, not a guess.

Minesweeper, played for a multiplier.
Mines is a crypto-casino original built on the same idea as the classic Minesweeper puzzle: a 5×5 grid hides a fixed number of mines among 25 tiles, and you reveal them one at a time. Every safe tile you clear pushes the multiplier a little higher; one wrong tile ends the round.
Unlike the puzzle version, there's no logic to deduce — the mine layout is randomly generated and locked in before you click anything, so every reveal is an independent, provably-fair draw. What you're really choosing is how many mines to play against and when to stop.
- 01
Set your mine count and bet
More mines means fewer safe tiles and a faster-climbing multiplier — higher risk, higher reward per reveal.
- 02
Start the round
Your bet is placed and the mine layout is generated. The board is now live — every tile you haven’t clicked is either safe or a mine.
- 03
Reveal tiles, one at a time
Each safe tile grows your multiplier. The next pick’s odds are shown live, based on exactly how many safe tiles and mines remain.
- 04
Cash out, or push your luck
Bank the current multiplier any time after your first safe pick — or keep going for a bigger one. Hit a mine and the round ends with nothing.
Every safe reveal is one fewer safe tile left.
With m mines hidden among 25 tiles, the chance your first k picks are all safe is C(25−m,k) ÷ C(25,k) — choosing k safe tiles out of the 25−m that exist, over all the ways to choose k tiles at all. The fair multiplier is just 1 ÷ that chance; the platform then applies its house edge (0.99 here) on top. Nothing about which tiles you click changes those odds — the mines were fixed, hashed and committed before the round started.
The mine count changes your variance, not your long-run edge — every cash-out point on the curve above carries the same 1% house edge. That trade-off is what Mines strategy actually covers.
Three questions people ask next.
Mines strategy
What actually changes your variance — and what doesn’t change your edge, no matter when you cash out.
Is there a Mines predictor?
Provably-fair mechanics, explained plainly, and why "predictor" tools are always either useless or a scam.
Full payout chart
Every mine count, every tile revealed — the complete multiplier and win-chance table in one place.
Quick answers, no hedging.
Is Mines rigged?
No. Provably-fair Mines commits to the mine layout with a hash before you bet, and reveals the seed after — you can verify nothing changed. It's covered in full on the predictor page linked above.
What's the best mine count?
None of them — every configuration carries the same ~1% house edge. Mine count changes your variance (how bumpy the ride is), not your long-run return. See the strategy guide for the trade-off.
Does tile position matter — are corners or edges safer?
No. Mines are placed uniformly at random across all 25 tiles before you click anything. Any tool or "heatmap" claiming otherwise is reading patterns into randomness that aren't there.
Can I win real money on this page?
No — this is a free demo with virtual credits only. Nothing here is connected to a real account, and nothing pays out.
Why does my result feel different from the stated RTP?
RTP is a long-run average, not a per-round guarantee. Over a handful of rounds, variance dominates; over thousands, results converge toward the published 99%.
