How to play Mines

How Does the Grid Work?

Mines is a new game played on a 5x5 grid consisting of 25 tiles. Under each tile there’s a Gem or a Mine symbols, and the results remain hidden until you have selected a tile. Your objective is to uncover Gems and avoid Mines, since every safe tile increases your multiplier on the original bet.

Game Volatility: Setting Your Bet and Risk Level

Before starting a round, customize your bet amount and the number of Mines you want to have on the grid. More Mines on the reels increase your potential payout for every Gem revealed, but it also makes it easier for you to lose the entire bet. One key advantage in this exclusive game is that you can adjust its volatility depending on how much risk you want to take.

There are 3 risk levels, where the number of mines hidden below the grid has an impact on both the risk and the potential payout.

Game Difficulty LevelGridTiles
Low5×525
Medium6×636
Hard8×864

Automated Bets and Manual Play Option

Choose between manual gameplay or automated betting options depending on your preference. You get full control over each tile selection in Manual mode, while automated settings allow you to set the conditions and play multiple rounds with one click.

Revealing Tiles and Collecting Rewards

Once the round begins, click on the tiles to reveal what’s underneath them. Every time you uncover a Gem, your multiplier increases. This continues to gradually increase the potential payout for the round, and the good news is that you can cash out your winnings at any time during the round.

Cashout Winnings or Continue Playing

After you reveal a Gem, you can choose to either cash out your current winnings, or continue selecting the tiles to increase the multipliers for a potential larger payout.

Win and Loss

If you lose, the explosion animation will be triggered, revealing the outcome of all the other Tiles.

The reels will be reset and the Betting Panel goes back to Phase One: this is where you can start a fresh bet. The number of Mines on the screen is not reset, but remains unchanged until you make a new bet.

Strategies and Tips for Playing Mines Games

The Originals Mines game is simple to get used to, but it requires strategy and smart decision-making to play effectively. While luck plays a major role on exclusive mines slots, these few practical tips will help you manage your gaming experience better.

Tips for Playing Mines Games

  • Start with low risk strategy: this is one of the most important things to keep in mind. Choose a lower number of mines for a better chance to safely reveal tiles as you get to grips with the game. If you’re a new player and still getting used to payout patterns, this is one piece of advice you’ll want to hang on to.
  • Know when to cash out: in short, don’t get greedy. Many players lose a lot of their winnings to the casino because of this. Even though the next tile of a mines slot might increase your payout, you should know when’s the best time to cash out and protect your winnings.
  • Customize your mine count: fewer mines mean safer rounds with smaller multipliers; more mines bring more risk with bigger potential winnings. Make sure you find the right balance to make your gameplay more consistent.
  • Manage your bankroll: set limits for how much you are willing to spend and stick to them; this ensures you can play longer, without chasing your losses.
  • Responsible Betting Use the 2-5% Rule to only bet a small fraction of your total bankroll on any single round.

Strategies for Mines Games

If you’re new to mines, start off with a Low-Risk Strategy. In this way, you would be aiming for smaller, more frequent wins to keep control of your bankroll, instead of going after the bigger multipliers.

Go bigger with a High-Risk strategy where you increase the number of mines so you can target bigger multipliers. Keep in mind that the probability of hitting a mine slot increases by quite a bit as you go on revealing tiles.

Other betting strategies, known as “progressive”, can be used in Originals Mines. One of these is the Martingale Strategy, one of the most known, where after every loss you double your bet in a bid to recover previous losses and turn them into winnings.

If you think that’s too risky you could try a less aggressive option, the Half-Martingale, where you increase the bets gradually instead of doubling them every time. This reduces the risk of losing even more funds while sticking to a progressive strategy.

There’s an anti-Martingale strategy too: it does the opposite by increasing the bet after wins instead of losses. In this way, you’d be looking to make bigger profits while winning, and keeping losses under check.

You could also try the more balanced D’Alembert strategy: after a loss, increase your bet by unit, and decrease it again after a win. Another progressive approach is Oscar’s Grind, in which you recover your losses while slowly increasing the bets during a winning streak.

Other Strategies

  • High-Risk Hunting: set 10 or more mines and try to hit the big multipliers in 1 or 2 clicks.
  • Balancing Techniques: juggle between rewards and survival by using the 3-Click Method: this means setting between 3 and 5 mines while aiming for 2–3 safe picks.
  • 1:1 Strategy: in this low-risk approach, set just 1 mine and cash out after 1 or 2 clicks.
  • 3-Click Rule: quit after three winning hits, and make sure you don’t get tempted to go further.
  • YOLO Strategy: set 10 or more mines, and aim for 1 or 2 gems with big multipliers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t:

  • Chase losses
  • Ignore bankroll limits

Do:

  • Stay disciplined
  • Know when to cash out
