This is a game that became popular on Brazilian casino sites , especially in 2024. The concept of the Mines game is similar to Minesweeper, although the way of playing in practice is different.

Although many people think that there is a specific website to play Mines, that is not how it works. Several famous (and reliable) bookmakers offer the game! Here are some examples:

What is Mines and how to play?

Regardless of the site you use, you will see a screen with several small squares, which hide some bombs behind them.

We don’t know where the bombs are, just how many of them there are.

In the screenshot below, for example, there are 3 hidden bombs (or mines). The idea is to finish the game without finding any.

As we click on the squares and a bomb does not appear, the multiplier increases , meaning you can win the amounts indicated on the screen.

Notice in the image above that we see four multipliers: 1.40x, 1.62x, 1.89x, 2.23x and 2.64x.

The initial bet was R$1.20 and at the time I captured the screen, I had made R$0.48 in profit, having successfully avoided the bomb so far.

But, at each round, it’s worth remembering that the bomb can explode. All you need to do is be unlucky enough to choose the wrong field! That’s what happened to us when we tested the game to make an assessment.

In addition to showing that we clicked on the bomb, the screen also identifies the location of the others. As expected, we lost the entire amount bet + the profit from the diamonds found so far.

Tips for playing Mines

So far, we have explained the basic concept of the game.

Now, let’s explore some tips that can help you better understand how Mines works and how to have fun responsibly and strategically.

1. To earn more, you must change the game’s difficulty level.

In the example we gave at the beginning of the content, the mine was in one of the most basic configurations:

• We bet the amount of R$ 1.20 (minimum house value);
• There were only three mines (second smallest number, ahead of only 1 mine);
• The grid size was 5×5 (second smallest grid number, the smallest is 3×3).

If you want to try to earn more money, that is, make the multiplier more interesting, you can increase the difficulty of the game, either through the mines or through the grids.

Despite this, also remember that it becomes harder to win, so there’s no point in increasing the number of mines too much: the more they are hidden, the greater the chances of you falling into one of them and losing.

A limit of 4 mines is recommended on 5×5 and 7×7 grids and 5 mines on 9×9.

2. There are no guaranteed strategies

When we search for “tips for playing Mines” on the internet, it is common to see people suggesting certain movements, such as the diamond or square.

These people say that the movements increase the chances of success, that is, of the bomb not being in the middle of them.

It is worth noting that none of these strategies have any basis .

Mines is a game of chance, that is, in each new round, the algorithm responsible for developing the game hides the mines in a completely random way.

Click where you think you should, counting on luck and hoping that the bomb doesn’t appear too soon. But know that this can happen, regardless of the “strategy” you decide to take.

3. Play with low stakes

Mines, like other games that go viral on the internet (like Tigrinho, which caused controversy in 2023 ), were not created so that you can earn money in volume.

The idea is to have fun and not compromise values ​​that already have another destination at home.

We recommend that you know when to stop and that you bet low amounts. This way, you will reduce the chances of getting frustrated when you unfortunately end up with a losing bet.

This is another strategy without any kind of basis. As we have already mentioned, Mines is a game defined exclusively by luck.

There is no guarantee that the bombs will be at locations X, Y or Z.

If you lost the last round, there is no guarantee that the next one will be a winner (and so on). Be careful when your sole desire when gambling is to win back the money you lost.

This behavior tends to create a vicious cycle if you take too long to win again.

I can’t win at Mines, what’s going on?

Have you followed all the strategies you found on the internet, but you still keep losing at Mines? We have the answer and it’s simple: it was pure bad luck!

We understand that it can be frustrating to know this, after all, there is no way to control luck and bad luck, right?

But this is true in the world of online casino games. These games work randomly and there is no way to predict how the rounds will play out.

We follow our recommendation to stay calm between rounds and always play responsibly .

When you notice that you are getting anxious and losing your sense of reason, stop playing and return later if you feel you are able to do so.

Does the Mines robot work?

Do not buy any type of program (popularly called little robots) that promise to “break” the Mines algorithm and show where the mines are located.

In addition to not working, this type of action goes against the terms of use of the bookmakers .

Even if there were a magic formula to acquire this information, you would probably have your account canceled and lose access to the deposited amounts.

This is because bookmakers have security tools that can predict suspicious activities, which include hackers and robots.

The “secret” is not to play with the intention of winning big. That’s not the goal of this type of game, so focus on having fun and keep small amounts in mind. It’s better to win little by little than to let greed take over!
