Game Rules and Controls
Choose your mine count (two or four) and stake while idle, then open the cabinet to deduct the stake once. Click numbered panels to reveal safe spots or mines. You can manually collect after the first or second safe panel, but the third safe panel triggers automatic collection. No other controls like autoplay or auto-start exist, and reloading drops the unfinished board without refund.
Odds, Multipliers and RTP
The gross multiplier equals 0.95 divided by the survival probability of reaching that panel. With two mines, the first safe panel offers a 1.0857 multiplier with an 87.5 percent survival chance. The third panel reaches 1.4615 with a 65 percent chance. Four mines increase risk significantly, offering up to a 2.418 multiplier at the third panel with only a 39.3 percent survival rate. Simulations confirm a consistent 95 percent expected return across all modes.
Wallet and Settlement Mechanics
Your initial balance starts at one thousand virtual coins. A captured stake is deducted immediately upon opening the cabinet. Gross returns include the stake and are calculated using full JavaScript precision before being floored to whole coins. Any fractional carry is preserved separately in local storage and added to the next successful settlement. Manual balance restoration sets the balance to one thousand only when idle and below ten coins.
Variance and Responsible Play
Continuing to reveal panels lowers the probability of reaching collection and increases the possible gross return, producing more variable outcomes. While the expected return remains ninety-five percent, actual outcomes vary widely due to the binary nature of hitting a mine. This demo uses virtual coins with no cash value and no account requirement. It is designed for adults eighteen and older to understand mechanics without financial risk.
Frequently asked questions
What is the house edge in R5R Mines?
The house edge is five percent, reflected in the ninety-five percent expected return across all mine configurations and collection depths.
Does reloading save my progress?
No. Reloading the page drops the unfinished board with no refund or resume option. Your balance and fractional carry are saved, but the current round is lost.
Can I collect after the first safe panel?
Yes. You can manually collect after the first or second safe panel. If you do not collect, the game automatically collects your return after the third safe panel.
