Mines: play free and compare the versions
In Mines you open tiles on a grid knowing some hide bombs. Each safe tile raises the multiplier and you choose when to stop. It is the most transparent risk mechanic in an online casino: the exact probability of every click can be calculated.
Mines versions we cover
Side-by-side comparison
| Game | Provider | RTP | Max win | Win system |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mines | Spribe | 97% | 10000× | 5×5 grid with a chosen number of mines; each safe tile raises the multiplier, cash out any time |
| Minesweeper | BGaming | 98.4% | 15.11× | A 3 to 15 step run, 2 to 6 tiles per step; cash out any time with the Collect button |
| Minesweeper XY | BGaming | 98.4% | — | Step-by-step run, 2 to 6 tiles per move; XY edition built for crypto play |
As with Plinko, the number of mines does not change the RTP. Spribe's Mines returns 97% with three mines or with twenty; what changes is how many tiles you can open before hitting one, and what each is worth. Choosing more mines is choosing variance, not a worse deal.
One common mix-up is worth flagging: BGaming has no game called "Mines". The studio publishes Minesweeper and Minesweeper XY, which are linear runs rather than a 5×5 grid — and the ceiling reflects that, x15.11 against Spribe's 10,000×. Treating them as the same game compares two different things.
