How to Play Mines on BitzGaming (Not Minesweeper)

By BitzGaming Editorial · Updated 12 September 2026

Choose 1, 3, 5 or 7 mines. Safe tiles score; a mine ends the round. Score = safe² × difficulty × 10.

Mines is a short risk board. It is not classic Minesweeper: there are no numbered neighbour clues in the usual way, and you pick how many mines to hide before you start.

Play Mines now. This note describes the BitzGaming board — not a generic version of the genre.

How Mines works here

  • You choose 1, 3, 5, or 7 mines. Higher counts use a higher difficulty multiplier (1, 1.4, 1.8, 2.3).
  • Turning a safe tile adds to the safe-tile count. A mine ends the round.
  • Score = (safe tiles found)² × difficulty × 10, rounded. Clearing every safe tile is a perfect run.
  • Marks exist so you can remember tiles you do not want to touch yet.

How to play Mines

  • Open Mines. Pick a mine count, then begin.
  • Turn tiles one by one. Stop if you like — a mine still ends the run if you press one.
  • A perfect clear of all safe tiles is the top outcome for that mine count.

Strategy that matches this board

  • Low mine counts are for learning the board size. High counts pay more if you survive.
  • Because there is no cash-out wallet, the “strategy” is how far you push before the next tap feels like a coin flip.
  • This is not a real-money game. There are no stakes, deposits, or prizes.

Is this Minesweeper?
No. Same family of hidden mines, different rules and scoring.
