What Is Mines
Mines is a grid-based casino game available on 1Win where the player's goal is to open cells on a 5×5 board and collect growing multipliers for each safe reveal. Scattered across the 25 cells are hidden mines — landing on one immediately ends the round and the stake is forfeited.
The format draws from the classic Minesweeper concept, but the objective here is different. You are not trying to clear the entire board — you are deciding how far to push before walking away with your winnings.
Before each round you choose how many mines are placed on the board, which directly determines the risk level and the speed at which your multiplier grows. Every safe cell you uncover increases the current multiplier. The more mines you set and the deeper you go, the faster that multiplier climbs — but each additional step also raises the chance of hitting a mine.
The game is available in demo mode on 1Win, allowing new players to explore the mechanics without risking real funds.
How a Round Works
Launching a round in Mines takes only a few seconds
- Open the Mines game in the 1Win casino section. Unregistered users are taken directly to demo mode.
- Enter your stake in the bet field. Stakes range from a small minimum up to $200 per round.
- Select the number of mines — 1, 3, 5, or 7. This sets the risk-reward balance for the round.
- Press Play. The 5×5 grid loads with all cells face down.
- Click any cell to reveal it. A star indicates a safe cell and your multiplier increases. A mine ends the round immediately.
- Keep opening cells — or press Cash Out at any moment to lock in your current multiplier and collect winnings.
There is no timer. You can take as long as needed before each click or before deciding to stop.
How Mine Count Affects
The number of mines you select before a round is the most consequential decision in Mines. It shapes the probability of each click, the pace of multiplier growth, and the overall volatility of the session.
Select 1 mine, bet $10, cash out after 6–8 cells. The multiplier is modest, but the probability of losing was low throughout. Smaller, more frequent returns.
Select 7 mines, bet $20, attempt 10+ cells. The potential multiplier is significant, but most rounds end in a loss. Occasional deep runs produce substantial payouts.
When to Cash Out
The cash-out decision is the central skill in Mines. Unlike crash games where you watch a line and react, here every step requires a deliberate choice.
Mines vs Royal Mines vs Turbo Mines
1Win offers several variations on the mine-grid format.
Royal Mines follows the same core logic but uses a different visual theme and an adjusted multiplier curve.
Turbo Mines is built for speed — rounds resolve faster and the experience is oriented around high-frequency sessions.
Standard Mines places no time pressure on the player and suits a more methodical approach. For full control over pacing and freedom to deliberate over each cell, this is the right choice.
Who Should Play Mines
Mines is best suited to players who want active engagement rather than passive outcomes. Every round involves a series of decisions with direct consequences.
Low mine counts (1 or 3) work well for players new to the format and for those who prefer lower-variance sessions.
High mine counts (5 or 7) are better suited to experienced players who understand the odds and are comfortable absorbing frequent losses in exchange for possible large payouts.
Important: no cell selection strategy improves your actual odds. Positions are randomised at the start of each round, and no clicking pattern changes that.
FAQ
Mines at 1Win — common questions
Mines is a grid-based casino game played on a 5×5 board. Before each round you choose how many mines are hidden among the 25 cells, then reveal cells one by one to collect growing multipliers. The goal is to cash out before hitting a mine — landing on one ends the round and forfeits your stake.
Open the Mines game in the 1Win casino section, set your stake, choose the number of mines (1, 3, 5, or 7), and press Play. The grid appears with all cells face down. Click any cell to begin revealing — a star means it is safe, a mine ends the round. Cash out at any point to collect your current winnings.
Yes. Mines is available in demo mode on 1Win. Unregistered users are taken directly to demo mode when opening the game. The mechanics in demo play are identical to real-money rounds, so it is a useful way to understand how multipliers scale before betting real funds.
The maximum stake per round is $200. The minimum bet starts from a small amount, giving players flexibility regardless of their bankroll size.
You can select 1, 3, 5, or 7 mines before each round. The number you pick determines how many of the 25 cells are dangerous, how fast the multiplier grows, and how volatile the session will be.
1 mine offers the lowest risk and slowest multiplier growth — best for conservative play. 3 mines provides a more balanced risk-reward ratio. 5 mines increases volatility significantly, with roughly one in five cells being dangerous. 7 mines is the most aggressive setting, where most rounds end early but deep runs can produce large multipliers.
Each safe cell you reveal increases your current multiplier. The higher the mine count and the more cells you open, the faster and higher the multiplier climbs. However, every additional cell also increases the chance of hitting a mine and losing all accumulated winnings from that round.
There is no universal answer, but a few principles help. Set your exit point before the round begins rather than mid-round when the multiplier is tempting. The deeper you go, the more you stand to lose on the next click. A long safe streak does not mean the remaining cells are clear — mine positions are fixed at the start and do not change.
No. Mine positions are randomised once at the start of each round and remain fixed throughout. Revealing several safe cells in a row does not shift or reduce the mines among the remaining cells.
No. Choosing corners first, following diagonal patterns, or any other spatial approach has no effect on the actual probability of hitting a mine. Positions are randomised at the start of each round and no clicking pattern changes the underlying odds.
The RTP (Return to Player) of Mines at 1Win is 95.8% with medium volatility. This means that over a large number of rounds, the game returns 95.8% of total wagered amounts to players.
All three follow the same core concept. Standard Mines uses a 5×5 grid with no time pressure, giving full control over pacing. Royal Mines applies a different visual theme and a slightly adjusted multiplier curve. Turbo Mines is designed for fast, high-frequency sessions — suited to players who want many rounds in a short time.
Yes, particularly at lower mine count settings. Starting with 1 or 3 mines and cashing out after a modest number of safe cells keeps the risk manageable. Demo mode is also available to practice without real-money risk.
Mines suits players who prefer active involvement over passive outcomes. Low mine count settings work well for cautious or newer players. High mine count settings (5 or 7) are better suited to experienced players comfortable with high variance and frequent losses in exchange for possible large payouts.
