Same grid · different studios
Mines versions compared
Several studios make a Mines game on the same 5×5 grid. Here they are side by side: mine range and RTP from each provider, how each rounds its multipliers, and what Australians should know about each.
- Spribe MinesThe original, in Spribe's Turbo Games pack since June 2019; each round's seeds can be checked in Round Details5×51–20 mines97%
- Turbo Games MinesA separate studio, turbogames.io; Mines since May 2021 and Turbo Mines with grids up to 9×95×52–24 mines95%
- Stake MinesStake Originals, no demo; Stake's own terms list Australia as a prohibited jurisdiction5×51–24 mines99%
What changes between versions
The grid and the idea are the same everywhere: hide some mines among 25 tiles, open tiles, cash out before a mine. Three things differ, and all three move your money.
- The RTP. Spribe pays 97% of the fair multiplier, the Turbo Games studio 95%, Stake 99%. Over a thousand $1 rounds that's roughly $30, $50 or $10 kept by the house on average.
- The mine range. Spribe lets you hide 1 to 20 mines, Turbo Games 2 to 24, Stake 1 to 24. More mines mean steeper multipliers and rarer wins.
- The rounding. Spribe cuts each multiplier down to the cent; the Turbo Games demo rounds to the nearest cent. It's a cent here and there, and at Spribe it always falls the house's way.
Which one you'll meet
In the casino lobbies we saved from an Australian connection on 28 September 2026, Spribe was the named provider that turned up; two other casinos showed a "Mines" category and "Mines TNT" without naming the studio. Stake's version stays inside Stake, whose terms exclude Australia.

Other studios make grid games too, such as BGaming's Mine Gems, a 5 × 12 ladder rather than a 5 × 5 field, listed at 98.4%. It's a different shape of game, so it isn't compared here.
