Mines is a fast-paced online casino game that is inspired by the beloved video puzzle game Minesweeper.
The game first came into existence during the 1990's courtesy of Microsoft though its first origins may have come in 1983 courtesy of game developer Ian Andrew. He claims that Microsoft essentially ripped off his Mined-Out video maze game.
The concept is the same. Gamers uncover safe spaces while avoiding hidden mines.
The format fits in particularly well in the cryptocasino space. Most operators now employ provably fair technology so outcomes can be independently verified. Blockchain technology solves many of the problems that have plagued traditional online gambling platforms over the years including trust, payments, speed, and restrictions.
Traditional casinos say “trust us" while the cryptocasinos can say “verify it yourself.”
With the cryptocasino:
A game generates a hashed result before the bet.
After the bet, the seed is revealed.
The player can verify the result cryptographically.
Minesweeper
The original (sort of), available from our friends at Bogart Casino and developed by BGaming.
The Return to Player (RTP) is 98.4%.
Players should get from one end of the field to the other in a certain number of moves, ranging from 3 to 15. Each move consists of 2-6 squares, one of which contains a hidden bomb. Players must select a square to move forward, but if the chosen cell has a bomb, the game ends. The Collect button enables to cash out at any moment.
The game offers different field sizes, ranging from 3 to 15 horizontally and 2 to 6 vertically.
Minesweeper XY
A modified version of Minesweeper, it is designed to be more logic-heavy while reducing the guessing component.
instead of clicking freely anywhere, selections are made based on X and Y axis coordinates with the structure changing how titles are revealed and the risk progression and multipliers behaving differently than standard Mines.
Diamond Mines
This game is available at Bogart Casino, which offers crypto deposits and withdrawals.
With a shiny new gloss on an epic favorite, Diamond Mines by Betsoft brings you endless entertainment as you hunt for rewards and carefully avoid the explosive bombs that can end your game! This variation allows gamers to choose the number of bombs you want on your grid, allowing full control of the level of risk. More risk means a higher payout!
