Mines
Mines is a grid of tiles with hidden mines underneath. You reveal tiles one at a time, each safe tile raising your multiplier, and you cash out whenever you choose. Hit a mine and the round ends with nothing. Unlike most casino games, you set the difficulty yourself — which makes it one of the few where the decision genuinely matters.
How a round works
- Choose your stake.
- Choose how many mines are hidden in the grid.
- Reveal tiles one at a time. Each safe tile increases the multiplier.
- Cash out at any point to bank the current multiplier — or keep going.
- Reveal a mine and the round ends immediately with nothing.
The mine count is set before the round and does not change. Where they are is random.
The mine count is the whole decision
More mines means fewer safe tiles, so each successful reveal is less likely and the multiplier climbs faster to compensate. Fewer mines means a gentler climb over a longer run.
The trade is exact and it is the game. A high mine count is a short, steep, high-variance round. A low mine count is a long, shallow one where the temptation is to keep going past a sensible exit — the multiplier grows so slowly that stopping never feels urgent, and that is how a good run gets given back.
Neither setting is better value. They differ in the shape of the round, not in what the game costs you over time.
Deciding the exit before you start
Mines rewards one habit above all: choosing your cash-out point before the round rather than during it. Pick a number of tiles — three, five, whatever suits your mine count — and take the money there.
The reason is that every additional tile feels cheap in the moment while being exactly as risky as the maths says. Deciding in advance removes a judgement you will make badly under pressure. It is the same discipline the Aviator auto cash-out exists to enforce.
Where it sits
Mines is the most deliberate of the crash-family games — there is no timer, so you can take as long as you like on each tile. That makes it a good fit for players who find Spaceman and Aviator too fast to think in.

Frequently asked questions
How does Mines work?
You choose a stake and how many mines are hidden in the grid, then reveal tiles one at a time. Each safe tile raises your multiplier and you can cash out at any point. Reveal a mine and the round ends with nothing.
How many mines should I choose?
It sets the shape of the round rather than the value. More mines means a steeper multiplier over a shorter run; fewer means a gentle climb over a longer one. Neither is better value — pick the one that suits how long you want a round to last.
Is there a strategy for Mines?
Mine positions are random, so no tile is safer than another. The only real strategy is deciding your cash-out point before the round begins, because every extra tile feels cheap in the moment while being exactly as risky as the odds say.
Is Mines faster or slower than Aviator?
Slower, and deliberately so. There is no timer, so you can take as long as you like over each tile. That suits players who find the seconds-long rounds of Aviator and Spaceman too fast to think in.
