Mines

Overview

Mines by Fa Chai moves away from spinning reels and instead offers a click-based “pick and avoid” format that resembles the classic Minesweeper concept. The official sheet keeps it very lean: a 97 % theoretical RTP, a potential cap of 10,000× your stake, and a mention of a “Game Jackpot” feature. Everything else—grid size, number of bombs, cash-out rules—has to be confirmed inside the in-game rules menu.

What I can confirm

• RTP: 97 % (official figure).
• Top payout: 10,000× bet (official maximum multiplier).
• Paylines: None—this is not a reel slot.
• Feature list only says “Game Jackpot”, no details attached.

All remaining specs, including volatility, exact bet steps, and how the jackpot ties into gameplay, are not publicly disclosed.

What this means for a player

• 97 % RTP is mathematically generous, but remember it’s long-term; short sessions can swing hard in either direction.
• A 10,000× ceiling is attractive, yet the path to it (odds of clearing the entire minefield) is unknown. Set realistic expectations.
• Without an official volatility label, assume bankroll swings may be severe. Start with conservative stakes until you feel the risk curve.
• If the game allows you to cash out after each safe pick—as most mines titles do—decide in advance how many clicks you’ll attempt before bailing out.
• “Game Jackpot” could be random or tied to clearing the board; check the rules so you’re not relying on something that triggers rarely.

Verify in 60 seconds (rules/paytable)

• Open the Help screen and note the grid size and how many mines are hidden—this drives the true house edge per click.
• Look for the cash-out table that lists multipliers after each successful pick; confirm the growth curve aligns with your risk appetite.
• Find the section on “Game Jackpot” to see whether it’s progressive, fixed, or a separate bonus round.

My take

The published 97 % RTP places Mines among the more mathematically friendly instant-win games, provided that figure is indeed the one your casino runs. Lack of clarity on volatility and jackpot mechanics means the smart move is to treat it as a high-risk product until proven otherwise: small stakes, predefined exit points, and regular rule checks after any update.

Responsible gambling

This title is for players 18+ only. Set a fixed spend limit before the first click, never chase a lost board, and take breaks—the rapid-fire nature of mines games can quickly blur session length.
