Run /mines with a stake and mine count. Reveal safe tiles. Use Cash Out to settle the virtual return before you uncover a mine.
Complete game information
How Mines works.
All figures describe virtual-coin play. Unless a row says net or score, a × value is the total return including the original stake.
01
How to play
Choose a virtual-coin stake. Chat accepts 1–23 mines on 24 tiles; Activity accepts 1–24 mines on a complete 25-tile board.
Reveal one hidden tile at a time. A safe tile raises the displayed multiplier; a mine ends the board with no return.
After at least one safe reveal and once the multiplier exceeds 1.00×, use the in-game Cash Out control to settle the shown virtual return.
The full mine layout is revealed when the board ends and can be checked against the committed seed data.
02
Bets & actions
Mine count
Choose 1–23 in Chat or 1–24 in Activity. More mines make each safe reveal less likely and increase its potential multiplier.
Reveal
Open any unrevealed tile. Reopening the same tile is not allowed.
Cash Out
Settle after a safe reveal instead of risking another tile.
03
Possible returns
For N board tiles, m mines, and k safe reveals, P(survive) = ∏(N − m − i)/(N − i), for i = 0…k−1. N is 24 in Chat and 25 in Activity. The multiplier is floor to two decimals of edge factor ÷ P(survive).

What it means
Cash Out after k safe tiles
Dynamic
Total return is the stake multiplied by the board's current two-decimal multiplier.
Mine revealed
0×
The board ends immediately with no return.
Before first safe tile
No settlement
Cash Out is disabled until at least one safe tile produces a multiplier above 1.00×.
23 mines, first safe tile
23.76× reference
At the default 0.99 factor, finding the board's only safe tile produces this total return before any server cap.
24 Activity mines, first safe tile
24.75× reference
On Activity's 25-tile board, finding the only safe tile produces this total return at the default 0.99 factor.
04
Key rules & edge cases
Chat keeps its historical 24-tile board and 1–23 mine range. Activity uses a complete 5×5 board with 25 tiles and accepts 1–24 mines.
Mine positions are fixed when the board opens; they do not move in response to player choices.
The default reference factor is 0.99, while the live board uses the server's configured game edge.
Only one board per player and channel can be active at once. Its state is recoverable across chat and Activity.
If an unfinished board expires, the committed stake is returned.
Server betting limits and the configured maximum return can reduce the paid multiplier from the mathematical board value.
Raise is simulated entertainment. Virtual coins cannot be purchased, exchanged, withdrawn, or awarded as real-value prizes. Server betting limits and game-specific maximum-return settings apply where supported.
