Millionaire Mines

How to Play

Mines is like a high-stakes version of Minesweeper. You pick the grid - 5x5, 6x6, 7x7 or 8x8 - and how many mines are hidden in it, then start flipping tiles. Every safe tile wins you a bigger multiplier. The trick is knowing when to stop and cash out before you hit a mine.

1. Choose your bet amount and pick how many mines to hide: more mines = bigger rewards per safe tile, but more risk.
2. Click Bet, then click any tile on the grid to flip it.
3. If it's safe, great - your multiplier goes up and you can keep going.
4. If it's a mine, the round ends and your bet is lost.
5. After revealing at least one safe tile, cash out your current multiplier by clicking the Cash Out button.
6. After the round ends (win or mine), you'll see where all the mines were hidden.

Millionaire Mode, Win $1,000,000

Turn Millionaire Mode on and a Golden Grid can trigger the bonus. It is free to switch on; there is no extra fee per round.

While it is on, standard wins pay at 90% of the off-mode rate. That margin is what funds the jackpot shot, and a triggered Golden Grid follows its own jackpot rules.

The in-game Millionaire Mode panel shows how the Golden Grid trigger works. The $1,000,000 jackpot is pre-funded and paid in full when you win it.

No meter to fill. Every triggered round is a real shot at the million.

Tips & Tricks

The most common beginner mistake in Mines is going too deep with too many mines. Start with 3-5 mines and plan to cash out after 3-5 safe tiles. You'll get a respectable multiplier and avoid the gut punch of losing a great run to a late mine reveal.

Think of Mines as having two separate decisions: how many mines to set, and when to cash out. Set these before each round, not mid-game. If you decide upfront that you'll cash out after 5 safe tiles, you'll stick to it even when temptation tells you to go for one more.

A session strategy many players love: use 3 mines, reveal 5-6 tiles, cash out. Repeat. The multiplier at 5 tiles with 3 mines is 1.9772x on the 5x5 grid. Shallow reveals reduce variance, but rounds can still end on a mine and expected returns remain below the stake.

While Millionaire Mode is active, standard wins pay at 90% of the off-mode rate; that 10% margin is what funds the jackpot shot on every round. When it triggers, the tension of every flip is unlike anything else. Even if you never complete it, the trigger itself is a memorable moment.

Is It Fair?

All mine positions are locked in before you flip a single tile - that's the provably fair guarantee. The server commits to a secret seed before the round, your client seed mixes in, and the mine map is mathematically fixed before you see any tile. The casino cannot move mines to stop you winning.

Finish active rounds, then end the session to reveal its server seed. You can then verify the full mine map yourself. Run the published algorithm and the mine positions come out identically to what the game showed. This is real verification, not just a promise.

Knowing that mines can't be repositioned mid-round changes how you think about Mines. You're navigating a fixed map, not fighting a moving target. The casino's only edge is the 2% built into the payout formula - it's not hiding mines where you're about to click.
