Mines
Uncover safe tiles to grow your multiplier, but one wrong tap on a hidden mine ends the round. Cash out whenever your nerve says stop — the more you reveal, the more it pays.
Mines Game: how to play, rules & tips
Play Mines free online: a 5×5 grid hides 1, 3, 5 or 10 mines. Every safe tile you reveal raises your multiplier, and you can cash out at any time. Hit a mine and the bet is lost.
How to play Mines
Choose your bet and how many mines to hide: 1, 3, 5 or 10. The 25 tiles hide that many mines and the rest are safe.
Tap tiles one at a time. Each safe tile raises your cash-out multiplier. Cash out whenever you like to take the current amount, or keep going for more.
If you reveal a mine, the round ends and the bet is lost.
How the multiplier works
Each safe pick pays the fair odds of surviving that pick, so more mines means bigger jumps per tile. The multiplier is scaled to a 99% return, about a 1% house edge.
Mines tips
- Fewer mines: many small steps. More mines: fewer, much bigger steps.
- Mine positions are random every round, so no tile is safer than another.
- Decide your cash-out point before you start; it's easy to push one tile too far.
