Mines How the statistics work

How the data is produced

Spribe does not publish a public feed of Mines rounds. Every page is driven by a deterministic model of the game's published RTP, so anyone can reproduce every number.

The model

Mines has no shared multiplier curve: each round is one player's choice of mine count and number of safe picks. The model plays a fixed mix of such choices (listed below). A round pays the game's own multiplier for that choice, RTP divided by the chance of revealing all picks, or 0 when a mine is hit. Payouts are capped at 10,000.00x. With RTP 97%, 10.9% of modelled rounds pay 2x or more and 0.8% pay 10x or more.

P(clear) = C(25 - mines, picks) / C(25, picks)
payout = min(maxMultiplier, RTP / P(clear))

Seeding and timing

Each UTC day of each game is seeded from the game id and the date, so the browser and the build step generate identical results. One result is produced every 20 seconds, giving 4,319 rounds per day; that timing is a convention of the model, not a property of the game.

What the model cannot tell you

It cannot tell you what any casino table did, when a big multiplier will come, or whether a strategy works. The 10x+ rate converges to the theoretical 0.8% and the longest gaps are what independent rounds produce by chance. Treat every table on this site as an illustration of variance, not as evidence.
