Mines+: How the Game Works

The single most specific fact about Mines+ is that its 12-mines and 13-mines payout ladders both end at exactly 5070293x, the documented round cap, instead of continuing to a naturally higher figure. Pragmatic Play did not hide this; the rules state plainly that the maximum win is limited to 5070293x bet and that reaching it ends the round immediately. That candour sets the tone for the whole build. This is a 5x5 picker, not a reel slot: the player selects 1 to 24 mines, reveals diamonds one at a time, and each diamond adds a published multiplier of total bet to the current win. One mine ends the round and clears everything. The presentation, a cosmic cave with a glowing grid, is decoration; the actual game is the 24 multiplier tables printed across four rules pages, and the build behaves as if it knows that.

The strongest evidence of coherence is that observed play reproduces the printed tables exactly. At 3 mines with a $2.00 bet, one revealed diamond shows CURRENT WIN $2.22, matching the 1.11x first step of the 22-diamond table; three diamonds show $2.92, matching the 1.46x third step; the cashout popup then reads $2.92 at 1.46x and the credit line moves accordingly. The RANDOM button, which auto-opens one tile per click, lands on the same $2.22 first step, confirming it uses the identical progression rather than a separate mode. After any round ends, win or loss, the entire grid reveals its hidden layout dimmed, so the player can audit where every mine sat. Feedback, arithmetic and disclosure all point the same direction.

The coherence frays in a few documented places. The rules booklet carries boilerplate reel-slot language, referring to a SPIN button and spin speed settings in a game with no reels; functionally these map to starting a round and to tile-reveal animation speed, but the wording was not rewritten for the format. The single RTP statement is conditional: 97.50% applies to selecting 9 mines and playing to completion without cashing out, and no other figure for other mine counts appears anywhere in the nine pages, so the headline number should not be read as universal. The settings panel shows three toggles while the rules describe a fourth, an intro screen switch that was not visible. None of this affects the math on screen, but it shows a rules template stretched over a picker game.

• Provably fair seeds or hashes: not mentioned in any of the nine rules pages; presence or absence is unconfirmed.
• Bets run $0.01 to $250.00, with wins rounded down to two decimals per the rules.
• Autoplay includes stop-on-loss, stop-on-profit, a settable number of bets and a custom tile path.
• A loss is the same terminal state as a win: full grid reveal, no separate screen, current win cleared.
• Diamond versus mine is distinguished by icon shape, not color alone; the core read stays colorblind-safe.
