Mines
Online casino customers will surely agree: most modern gambling games lack the factor of the player’s influence on the outcome, when winning or losing depends not only on the random number generator, but also on the decisions of the player. On the one hand, people often come to casinos to test their luck, rather than trying to win, but on the other hand, it is their own decisions, rather than the role of a passive observer, that would allow visitors to be more confident in the fairness of what is happening. If you want to have more influence on your own winnings at 1xBet online casino, the Mines game can be a real find!
What is Mines and its mechanics features
Mines are sometimes referred to simply as slot machines or mini-games, and sometimes as turn-based crash games — all of these descriptions are accurate in their own way. It is worth noting that there is no single game with this name — it would be more accurate to talk about a specific mechanic that many providers successfully exploit, adding, at best, some cosmetic elements and minimal gameplay features. Otherwise, you will always (or almost always) see a five-by-five playing field in front of you, where there are both safe sectors that you need to find and dangerous ones that you should diligently avoid.
Minefield and the "open and take" principle
Mines is a kind of one-sided naval battle: you only attack here, without expecting a counterattack, but in the course of your own attack, you can either succeed or hit a mine, which gave the game its name. When you land on a safe square, you increase your potential winnings, and after each successful move, you can stop the game at your own discretion and collect your accumulated money. However, hitting a mine means the game is over, and you lose all your money. That’s why Mines is called a turn-based crash game: the point is not to reach the end, but to stop in time, but at the same time, the stopwatch does not pressure you at all, and you can make a decision for as long as you see fit.
How to play Mines
When launching the game, the first thing the client must do is specify the amount of their bet—this determines how much money you are risking, and it will be multiplied by the odds obtained in the event of a successful withdrawal of winnings. Next, you must set the risk level in the form of the number of mines hidden on the playing field: each provider determines the range for this parameter, but in general, there can be as few as one or as many as 20+ mines among the 25 cells. Once the parameters are set, click Start Game and select any cell you consider safe; if there is no explosion, you can immediately withdraw the accumulated money or make another move, and you will now face this dilemma after each successful move. Although the concept of Mines is valuable precisely because it allows the player to make decisions directly, the process can still be automated. For example, with a one-time option: the next move will be made for you by a random number generator. In addition, by setting the bet amount and the number of mines, you can start autoplay, specifying how many games to start and after how many successful moves (if no explosion occurs earlier) your winnings should be automatically withdrawn.
Risk and coefficients
Risk is a noble pursuit, and it is precisely for this reason that visitors come to online casinos; at the same time, every player hopes deep down that they will win, and this requires not only luck, but also competent risk management. In Mines, you can adjust the level of risk by manually setting the number of mines hidden on the playing field. This allows the same game to satisfy the needs of different categories of users — those who are willing to lose regularly in the hope of a rare huge win, and those who prefer to win little by little, but with enviable frequency.
How does the number of minutes affect the multiplier?
The more mines there are on the playing field, the riskier each subsequent move becomes: obviously, when there is one mine per 25 squares, the first 5-10 moves are almost completely safe, whereas with 20 mines, you can easily lose on the very first move. If the odds were the same in this case, visitors simply would not play with high risk, so the developers made the odds dependent on the ratio of safe and dangerous cells: when there are few mines, the potential winnings after the next move are minimal, and when there are many, the first move can increase the bet two or more times. Note that the principle of increasing odds as the risk increases is also preserved within a single game: this encourages the user to continue a particular game even when most of the safe cells have already been opened and the situation is heating up.
Balance between safe and aggressive play
There are three extreme options in Mines:
- Playing with one coin (or a minimal number of coins), taking a small win immediately after the first successful move—minimal risk.
- Playing with one mine, but making quite a few moves – medium-high risk and potentially medium winnings, with a noticeable probability of losing;
- Playing with the maximum (or simply a large number) of minutes, immediately collecting your winnings after a successful first move, is very risky, but after each success, you can cover several failures with a single win.
In reality, none of the approaches mentioned above is universal: with high risk (aggressive play), you will lose too often, and safe play will bring such modest winnings that a single loss can wipe them all out in one fell swoop. For this reason, the correct approach is not to go to extremes, but to combine different styles of play depending on how promising you feel this particular game is.
How do I start playing?
You can launch Mines in demo mode even as an anonymous visitor, but if you plan to play for money, registration on 1xBet is a prerequisite. If you haven't done so yet, don't worry: click on the Registration button, fill out one of the four available forms, and activate the Casino+1xGames package at the same time. After logging into your account, you still cannot play Mines for money because you do not have any money in your account. You can make a deposit of €1 (or the equivalent in other currencies) using the Deposit option, with instant crediting and no commission. You can choose between fiat or cryptocurrency options from several available options at your discretion. After confirming the deposit, when you see the funds in your personal account, you can launch any of the Mines options and place a bet. Remember: until you have finished the game and decided to withdraw your money, your winnings are theoretical!
