Minesweeper-style grid game with progressive cashout

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Set your bet amount and choose the number of mines (1–24) hidden on the 5×5 grid.

  2. 2

    Click tiles to reveal them. Safe tiles (gems) increase your running multiplier.

  3. 3

    With each safe reveal, the multiplier grows because you're beating increasingly worse odds.

  4. 4

    Cash out at any time to lock in bet × current multiplier.

  5. 5

    If you reveal a mine, the round ends and you lose your bet. The full board is then revealed.

Provably Fair System

Mine positions are determined by a Fisher-Yates shuffle of tile indices 0–24, seeded by HMAC-SHA256(server_seed, client_seed:nonce). The first M values from the shuffled array become mine positions. The shuffle is fully deterministic from the seeds, so after rotation you can verify every mine was placed before you clicked.

Visit the Fairness Verification page to verify any past round with your seeds.
