$1.13 Mines Bet Produces Sensational $134,453.21 Win

I’ve seen many Mines gameplay strategies by Stake.com players. As the game is played on a 5-by-5 grid, there is a plethora of options. When picking spots, some bettors like to follow alphabet shapes, others do numbers, triangles, or a simple ‘X’.

This player’s preference was a square that covered all of the outside positions on the grid. The initial set up was 17 diamonds and 8 mines. After selecting all the outside spots, the player had revealed 16 diamonds. 

At this point, he hit the cash out button, transforming his $1.13 Mines bet into $134,453.21. 

Had he continued and found the last remaining diamond, the multiplier win would have shot up to 2,022,545x. There was a 1 in 9 chance of him finding it. Would you have risked $134K for the chance of winning nearly $2.3 million? I would have made the same call as this player and taken the money.

Mines is the only casino, excluding progressive jackpot slots, that gives players a chance to win more than 5 million times their bet amount. That is why it’s the most popular game on Stake.

HugeStakes staff have written extensively about this game, but here’s a quick ‘how to play’ recap for new visitors.
