Mines is an instant game from Spribe. You reveal tiles on a grid, each safe tile adds to your potential win, and a hidden mine ends the round. People who search for VoodooDreams and Mines usually want two things: to understand how the game plays, and to know whether it is available at VoodooDreams. This page covers both, starting with the game itself.
Versions you may come across
Mines is usually presented as a single-player instant game, and the version you see is the provider's own. Most versions show a square grid of hidden tiles, a choice of how many mines are hidden, and a button to cash out. Some providers and sites offer tile games with different grid sizes or themes, so the layout can differ from one brand to another.
Before you sign up, check whether VoodooDreams offers Mines at all. If it does not, similar tile-based instant games are the closest alternative, and the four similar games shown on this page are a starting point. Read the rules shown in the game before you place a stake.
How a round works
The game card summarises the core rule: Players pick tiles on a 5x5 grid, each safe tile raises the multiplier, and a hidden mine ends the round with the stake lost. You set your stake before the round starts. Each safe tile you reveal raises the multiplier, and you decide when to cash out. If you reveal a mine, the round ends and the stake is lost.
The return to player is 97%. This is an average over a very large number of rounds, not a return on any single round. The mines are placed at random, so no pattern of picks changes the odds. Because each round is independent, a run of safe tiles does not make the next tile more likely to be safe.

RNG game or live dealer
Mines runs on a random number generator (RNG). Each tile outcome is decided by software, with no dealer and no camera. Live dealer games, such as live roulette or blackjack, use a real dealer streamed from a studio, and the result comes from a physical wheel or shoe. Those games move more slowly and feel more social, which suits some players better than an instant game.
If you prefer a dealer, the live casino page explains how those games differ from RNG games. Whichever you choose, the odds are set by the game's rules, not by how fast you play.
Practical points before you play
Read the stake limits and the rules shown in the game before you place a stake. Decide a budget before you start, and stop when you reach it. Choose a stake you are comfortable losing, not one that you hope will recover earlier losses.
Betting systems such as Martingale promise to recover losses by raising the stake after each loss. They do not change the odds, because each round is independent and the return stays the same over time. If you want help keeping to limits, see the safer gambling page. If you play on a phone, the mobile version page covers that option.
