WHAT IT IS
Mines in short
Mines is the minesweeper game from Spribe, out since 2021. A 5 by 5 grid hides a number of mines you choose. You flip tiles one at a time; every safe tile raises the multiplier, and hitting a mine ends the round and takes the stake. Spribe publishes the RTP as 97%.
Canadians search for it after Aviator, because it is the same studio and the same idea at a slower pace. The round waits for you. That makes it feel more controlled than it is. The mines are placed before you click, and no pattern of picks finds them less often.
HOW IT PLAYS
Base game and symbols
Before the round you set the stake and the number of mines. Few mines means small steps up per safe tile and a long walk before the multiplier gets interesting. Many mines means the first safe tile already pays well, and the second one is a gamble you will often lose. The multiplier for the next tile is shown before you click it.
The published RTP is 97%. Your own return depends on when you cash out: stopping after one or two tiles wins often and pays little, pushing for a full board loses most rounds. The Random button picks a tile for you, which changes nothing about the odds and just saves a tap. Results are provably fair, with a seed you can check after the round.
A round takes as long as you want, and that is the danger. It is easy to play 100 rounds at C$1 in half an hour and lose track. Many bonus terms exclude games like Mines or weight them low toward wagering, so read the weighting table before you use bonus money. We call the volatility medium, but the mine count is the real dial.

THE FEATURE
Bonus round
No bonus round, no free spins. The decision to cash out is the whole game. Each safe tile shows a gem, and the button under the grid shows what you would collect right now. Take it, or click another tile.
A bad run looks like five rounds in a row where a mine sits under the second or third tile you pick. With a high mine count that is normal. Some players set a rule, such as always cashing out after three tiles, and stick to it. That does not beat the game. It makes the session predictable, which is about the most you can ask for here.
OUR TAKE
Should you play Mines?
Play it if you like deciding when to stop and want rounds that go at your speed. A low mine count with an early cash-out suits a small balance. Skip it if you know you will always click one more tile, because the game is built on that habit. Skip it for bonus wagering too. If you want the same cash-out decision on a clock, Aviator is the Spribe game it usually sits next to.

No. The mines are placed before your first click and each round is provably fair. Picking corners, patterns or the same tiles every time does not change the odds. A cash-out rule controls how much you swing, not whether the 97% RTP applies.
02How does the number of mines change the game?
More mines raise the multiplier for each safe tile and raise the chance of hitting a mine on the next click. Fewer mines make each step small and safer. The multiplier for the next tile is shown before you click, so you always know what you are risking.
03Can I play Mines with a casino bonus in Canada?
Often it is excluded or counted at a small percentage toward wagering, like most instant and crash games. Read the game weighting section of the bonus terms. Playing an excluded game with bonus money can cost you the bonus and anything won with it.
