Mines at Stake
Stake has several distinct Mines titles. Stake Originals Mines, Turbo Games Mines, BGaming Minesweeper and LK7 Mines Pro have separate catalogue routes; the related Drill format is also listed below. The rules discussed in this guide concern Stake Originals unless another title is named.
Compare the available game evidence below, open the provider demo, and explore nine illustrative patterns alongside the probability calculator. Operator access and promotions are documented separately from those learning tools.
Mines games and versions
The primary-source search found four Mines titles and the related Drill format. Mining-themed slots are excluded. This is a list of the entries found, not an exhaustive export of every regional lobby.
| Game or reference | Provider evidence | Route or identifier | Check scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mines | Stake Originals | mines | Official game page |
| Mines | Turbo Games | turbo-mines | Separate provider entry |
| Minesweeper | BGaming | bgaming-minesweeper | Matches the provider title used in our demo |
| Mines Pro | LK7 | lk7-mines-pro | Separate Stake Engine entry |
| Drill | Stake Originals | drill | Related pick-a-path format; not the 25-cell Mines game |
Demo game
Stake’s current Mines FAQ says that the Stake Originals game has no demo mode. The playable embed below is BGaming Minesweeper, a separate title also documented in Stake’s catalogue. It does not reproduce Stake Originals Mines or its 99% RTP.
Press Play demo to load the free BGaming session with virtual FUN credits. It runs on the provider’s server, with no casino login on this page. Its path-based field differs from the fixed 5 × 5 illustrations below. Demo funds have no cash value. BGaming game information.
How the documented round works
A safe reveal shows a gem and increases the multiplier. After a successful pick, the player can continue or use Cash Out. Revealing a mine ends the round and loses the wager.
Stake lists a 99% RTP and a 1% house edge. These are theoretical return figures, not a 99% chance of surviving a cell or a promise about one session.
Manual and automatic play
The public description lists Manual mode, Auto settings and optional hotkeys. Auto repeats configured rounds; it is not evidence that selections become predictable. No automatic sequence was run for this guide.
The current return and a later possible multiplier should also be kept separate. Continuing risks the current round result instead of collecting it.
Verification is game-specific
Stake publishes a Mines event-mapping procedure that avoids duplicate mine positions. Reproducing a completed round requires the correct inputs and that mapping, not just a screenshot of the final board. Stake Mines game events.
Access and scope
This profile concerns the documented Stake.com game. It does not establish that a particular Stake domain, demo or account offering is available in a Canadian province. Those conditions require a separate regional check, and no registration or deposit process was tested here.
Stake Mines predictor
The nine boards below are randomly generated examples, each with five mines on a 5 × 5 grid. They were not collected from Stake rounds and are not a ranking of frequent results. A pattern number identifies an illustration, not a recommended sequence of clicks.
The calculator shows probabilities for a fixed, uniformly random minefield. With five mines among 25 cells, the chance of a safe first choice is 20/25, or 80%. It also separates the chance of a whole safe streak from the chance of the next safe choice after earlier successes.
Neither the patterns nor the calculator connects to a Stake account, reads hidden cells or predicts a live result. Do not apply this fixed-board model to a different path, tower or instant-win format without checking its rules. See Mines probabilities for the assumptions.
Illustrative layouts
9 randomly generated mine patterns
Each example shows a 5 × 5 board with 5 mines. These layouts were generated at random, not collected from casino rounds. They are not ranked by frequency and do not predict the next board.

Interactive calculator
Safe-pick probabilities
Enter a board size and mine count to calculate the chance of one to four safe picks without replacement. The model assumes a fixed number of mines placed uniformly before the first reveal. This tool does not read a casino round or identify a safe tile.
Example result: 5 × 5 with 5 mines
- Safe cells
- 20
- Total cells
- 25
- Mines
- 5
Formula: (25 − 5) ÷ 25 = 20/25 = 80%
Chances for 1–4 safe picks
“All safe from start” is the chance that every pick in the series avoids a mine. “Next safe” assumes the earlier picks in that row were safe. Neither column identifies a safe tile in a live round.
| Pick | All safe from start | Next safe if prior picks were safe |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 80% | 80% |
| 2 | 63.33% | 79.17% |
| 3 | 49.57% | 78.26% |
| 4 | 38.3% | 77.27% |
P(all first k safe) multiplies the safe fraction at each pick; P(next safe) uses only the remaining cells after earlier safe picks. “No tile” means the board is smaller than that pick number; “Not reachable” means the required earlier safe streak is impossible.

Casino bonuses
Stake’s welcome-offer help describes rakeback access through a referral offer. Rakeback and a deposit match measure different benefits. Current account eligibility and the contribution of the exact Mines title must be established from the account’s offer terms.
No referral code or claimable reward amount is provided here. Check the calculation base, eligible play and withdrawal conditions before treating a reward as part of a game’s return.
Availability in Canada
This page concerns Stake.com. Neither an indexed game page nor the independent provider demo establishes account access in a Canadian province. Stake.com and Stake.us must not be treated as the same product.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the Stake Originals Mines demo?
No. The embed is BGaming Minesweeper. Stake’s current Originals Mines FAQ says a demo version is unavailable.
Can I withdraw the demo balance?
No. The embedded BGaming session uses virtual FUN credits, independent of the casino account and promotional balances.
Are these the most frequent winning patterns?
No. The nine layouts are random illustrations, not measured results. They cannot identify safe cells in a live round.
Does a casino bonus include every Mines game?
That must be established by the exact promotion terms and game identity. A general casino offer, sports reward or free-spin banner is insufficient.
How to play Stake Mines
For Stake Originals, identify the 5 × 5 board, choose the available mine and bet settings, and use the documented manual sequence: reveal a gem, then either continue or Cash Out. A mine loses the round. Read the current controls before starting; a third-party game in the same catalogue has its own rules.
The Stake Mines RTP quoted above belongs to Originals. The Stake Mines demo question has a separate answer: its current FAQ says there is no Originals demo. The BGaming player on this page is a different game. For seed-input questions, use the Stake Mines predictor compatibility notes.
For the separate provider entries, see Turbo Games Mines Classic and BGaming Minesweeper. Their rules are distinct from Stake Originals.

From the guides
Stake lists several distinct Mines titles. The BGaming Minesweeper demo shown on this page is separate from Stake Originals Mines, so its rules and return figures should not be treated as those of the Originals game.
