Mines is Shuffle's take on the minesweeper-style casino game: a 5×5 grid, hidden gems and mines, and one decision that matters — how far to push before you cash out. You choose the number of mines before betting, every safe tile raises your multiplier, and one wrong pick ends the round. Rounds take seconds, and the risk level is entirely yours to set.
The Mines gambling game runs at a 99% RTP with a 1% house edge on every configuration, from a single mine to the full 24. Payouts follow a fixed, published formula — nothing about the multiplier ladder is hidden or adjustable behind the scenes.
How the Mines Casino Game Works
Each round uses a 5×5 grid of 25 tiles. Before you bet, you choose two things:
Bet amount — your stake for the round (bets of 0.00 are accepted, so you can play at zero stake)
Number of mines — anywhere from 1 to 24; the remaining tiles hide gems
Once the round starts, every gem you reveal moves you up the multiplier ladder. You can cash out after any successful pick and bank the current multiplier, or continue to the next tile at higher odds and a higher payout. Reveal a mine and the round ends with the stake lost.
Setting | Description | Effect |
Bet Amount | Your stake per round (0.00 accepted) | Sets the payout scale |
Number of Mines | 1–24 | Sets difficulty and volatility |
Cash Out | Manual, after any safe pick | Ends the round and secures winnings |
Auto Bet | Optional | Runs repeated rounds with fixed settings |
Choosing a Mine Count
Mines Selected | Volatility | Experience |
1–3 | Low | Frequent small wins, gradual multipliers |
4–8 | Medium | Balanced risk and reward |
9–15 | High | Steep multipliers, short rounds |
16–24 | Extreme | Rare wins, the game's largest payouts |
Every mine count returns the same 99% RTP — no setting is mathematically better than another. What changes is the shape of the outcome: fewer mines pay small and often, more mines pay big and rarely. The full multiplier ladder for every setup is in our Mines multiplier chart, including the odds of reaching each payout and the formula behind the game's 5,148,297× maximum win.

Provably Fair Outcomes
Mines is a Provably Fair Shuffle Original: every round's mine placement is generated from a server seed, your client seed, and a nonce — committed before you pick a single tile. After any round, you can verify that the layout was fixed in advance and untouched. The Provably Fair guide shows exactly how to run the check.

FAQ – Mines at Shuffle
How does Mines work?
You bet on a 5×5 grid hiding gems and mines. You pick the mine count before the round; each gem revealed raises your multiplier, and you can cash out after any safe pick. Revealing a mine ends the round and forfeits the stake.
What is the RTP of Mines?
Mines has a 99% RTP — a 1% house edge — on every mine count from 1 to 24. Every multiplier is the fair odds of your picks multiplied by 0.99, so no configuration returns more or less than another over the long run.
What is the maximum win in Mines?
The maximum payout is 5,148,297× your bet, reached by clearing every safe tile at 12 mines (13 gems) or 13 mines (12 gems). The complete ladder is in the Mines multiplier chart.
Can you play Mines for free?
Yes. Mines accepts bets of 0.00, so you can play complete rounds at any mine count without staking anything. It's the same game with the same provably fair outcomes — not a separate demo build — so zero-stake rounds behave exactly like real ones.
Is Mines a game of luck or skill?
Every tile is placed randomly and every pick is an independent chance event — no pattern or system changes the odds. What you control is the shape of your risk: the mine count sets the volatility, and cash-out timing decides how much of a run you bank.
Can I play Mines on mobile?
Yes. Mines runs in mobile browsers on iOS and Android with tap controls and the same features as desktop — no app needed.
What are the bet limits?
Minimum and maximum bets depend on your selected currency, starting from 0.00. Your exact limits are shown in the bet panel before each round.
Do my settings stay the same between sessions?
Yes — Mines keeps your last-used bet amount and mine count, so when you return, the game is set up the way you left it. You can adjust either at any time before starting a round.
Mines is available at Shuffle for players 18 and over. Outcomes are determined by chance, and no strategy changes the house edge — play for entertainment, not income.
