Millionaire Mines
Game Mechanics & Rules
Millionaire Mines places a configurable number of mines within a 5×5 grid of 25 tiles. All mine positions are determined by the provably fair hash before the round begins. The player reveals tiles sequentially; each safe tile increases the current multiplier, while revealing a mine ends the round with a total loss.
- Set your bet amount and choose the number of mines (1-24). More mines increase the multiplier per safe tile but reduce the probability of each safe reveal.
- Click any unrevealed tile to start the round. Tiles cannot be selected before the round is active.
- Each revealed safe tile updates the current multiplier, displayed prominently on screen. The payout formula is: multiplier = (C(gems_total, gems_revealed) / C(25, gems_revealed)) × 0.98.
- At any point after revealing at least one safe tile, click Cash Out to secure the current multiplier as your payout.
- Revealing a mine immediately ends the round; the full bet is lost and all mine positions are shown.
- Review the complete mine map after each round (mines or gems) in the round result panel for provably fair verification reference.
Bets and Payouts
Mines: pick how many mines on a 5x5 grid (1-24), then reveal tiles. Multiplier scales per safe reveal via hypergeometric probability. Hit a mine and lose the stake; cash out any time.
Round shape
| Bet | Payout | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1-5 mines | Gentle scaling | More safe tiles; slower multiplier growth. |
| 6-15 mines | Balanced | Mid-risk. Multipliers ramp faster per reveal. |
| 16-24 mines | Steep | Few safe tiles, huge multipliers on short runs. |
Millionaire Mode
| Bet | Payout | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Free trigger | $1,000,000 max | No per-round fee. Each round has a chance to spawn a Golden Round with the Precision Challenge bonus. |

Optimal Strategy & Analysis
The per-tile multiplier in Mines is derived from hypergeometric probability. With M mines and G total gems (25−M), after revealing R safe tiles, the multiplier is C(G, R) / C(25, R) × (1/0.98). As R increases, the multiplier grows super-linearly because each additional safe reveal has higher conditional improbability. At 3 mines, revealing 10 consecutive safe tiles produces a multiplier above 30x; at 20 mines, just 3 safe reveals exceed 20x.
The expected value of cashing out at any tile count is identical in expected terms: EV = bet × P(reaching that tile count) × multiplier × 0.98. Early cash-out reduces variance; late cash-out maximises potential multiplier at the cost of increasing ruin probability. No depth of reveal offers a different mathematical edge.
Optimal mine count for a given risk tolerance can be modelled as a function of desired multiplier-per-step. With 1 mine, multiplier growth per step is slow (~1.04x per tile) but ruin probability per step is just 1/24 (4.2%). With 24 mines, the only safe tile delivers an instant ~24x, but any error is catastrophic. Medium configurations (5-10 mines) offer a practical balance of multiplier growth and survival probability per step.
How Millionaire Mode's jackpot trigger works for Mines is shown in the in-game Millionaire Mode panel. The probability of completing this, given the event triggers, is C(6,6)/C(25,6) ≈ 1/177,100. This is the second-rarest single-event condition in the Millionaire Mode suite, after Crash's Golden Rocket.
Provably Fair Verification
Mine positions in Millionaire Mines are determined by the provably fair hash before any tile is revealed. The SHA-256 hash of (server_seed + ':' + client_seed + ':' + nonce) is used as a seed for a Fisher-Yates shuffle of 25 tile indices. The first M indices in the shuffled result are designated as mines. This guarantees all mine positions are fixed atomically at round start, making mid-round manipulation mathematically impossible.
Players can reconstruct the full mine map after any round by obtaining the revealed server seed, recomputing the SHA-256 hash, and running the Fisher-Yates shuffle with the derived seed. The resulting mine positions must match those revealed at round end. WickedBet publishes the shuffle algorithm specification in the fairness documentation. Any deviation between computed and displayed mine positions would constitute a verifiable discrepancy.
How Millionaire Mode's jackpot trigger works for Mines is shown in the in-game Millionaire Mode panel. This separation ensures the jackpot challenge layout cannot be inferred from or correlate with the standard game mine positions.
Millionaire Mode Technical Details
Millionaire Mode in Mines is free to enable; there is no separate per-round fee. Each round can trigger a Golden Round; the in-game Millionaire Mode panel shows exactly how the trigger works for Mines.
While Millionaire Mode is active, standard wins pay at 90% of the off-mode rate. That 10% margin is what funds the jackpot shot on every round; the main-game mechanics are unchanged.
A Golden Round opens the jackpot condition. The jackpot is a fixed $1,000,000, pre-funded and paid as a single transaction when the condition resolves.
The jackpot does not accumulate between rounds. Every Golden Round is a full attempt at the headline figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Millionaire Mines and how does it work?
Millionaire Mines is a provably fair tile-reveal game played on a 5×25 grid. Mine positions are determined by a SHA-256-seeded Fisher-Yates shuffle before any tile is revealed. Players choose mine count (1-24), then reveal tiles sequentially; each safe reveal updates the multiplier using hypergeometric probability.
How does Millionaire Mode function in Millionaire Mines?
Millionaire Mode is free to enable with no per-round fee. While it is on, standard wins pay at 90% of the off-mode rate; that 10% margin funds the jackpot shot on every round. Each round can trigger a Golden Round (the in-game Millionaire Mode panel shows how the trigger works for this game); the $1,000,000 jackpot is pre-funded and paid in full when the condition resolves.
How can I verify Millionaire Mines is provably fair?
Mine positions are derived from SHA-256(server_seed + ':' + client_seed + ':' + nonce) used as a seed for a Fisher-Yates shuffle of 25 indices. The first M shuffled indices are mines. After rotating your client seed (which reveals the previous server seed), recompute the hash and run the shuffle to reconstruct any historical mine map and verify it matches the displayed round result.
Which cryptocurrencies are accepted for Millionaire Mines?
BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT (ERC-20/TRC-20) and BNB are all supported. Deposits credit your account in USD; every stake, payout and jackpot in Millionaire Mines is denominated in USD regardless of which crypto you sent. Withdrawals return on-chain to a wallet address you nominate at cash-out time, subject to standard network confirmation.
What is the mathematically optimal strategy for Millionaire Mines?
Strategic differentiation is purely variance management: low mine counts with shallow reveals minimise session volatility; high mine counts with aggressive reveals maximise potential multiplier at higher ruin probability per step. Decide on mine count and cash-out depth before each round to avoid in-game decision bias.
