What is in999 Mines?
Mines is a grid-based multiplier game available on in999 under the Original games category. It is one of three in999-developed original titles — the other two being Dice and Gold Wave. Mines is built by the in999 team, which the platform states is independently developed for fairness and safety.
The game uses a simple setup. A 5x5 grid of 25 tiles is presented. Some tiles contain stars and some contain bombs. The positions of the stars and bombs are hidden. Your goal is to reveal as many stars as possible without hitting a bomb. Every star you reveal increases your current multiplier. Every bomb ends the round and takes your bet.
Mines is a game of chance with a decision element. The bomb positions are random, so the outcome of any single tile cannot be predicted. But the decision of when to stop revealing and cash out is entirely in the player's hands.
The 5x5 grid — stars and bombs
The Mines grid is 5 columns by 5 rows — 25 tiles total. Before the round begins, the platform randomly places the bombs and fills the remaining tiles with stars.
Example grid. In the actual game, all tiles start hidden and you reveal them one by one.
Star tiles
Revealing a star increases your current multiplier. The exact multiplier increase depends on the mine count and how many stars you have already revealed.
Bomb tiles
Revealing a bomb ends the round instantly and you lose the entire bet. There is no partial recovery.
Reveal mechanic
You choose one tile at a time. After each reveal, you decide whether to continue or cash out.
Cash-out mechanic
Cash out is available at any time after revealing at least one star. The multiplier at that moment is locked in.
Choosing the mine count
Before every round, you choose how many mines (bombs) will be on the grid. This is the single most important setting in Mines — it decides the risk-reward balance of the round.
| Mines | Stars on Grid | Risk per reveal | Multiplier scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mine | 24 stars | Low | Low |
| 3 mines | 22 stars | Moderate | Moderate |
| 5 mines | 20 stars | Balanced | Balanced |
| 10 mines | 15 stars | High | High |
| 24 mines | 1 star | Extreme | Very high |
If you choose 1 mine, the first tile you reveal has a 1 in 25 chance of being a bomb. If you choose 24 mines, the first tile you reveal has a 24 in 25 chance of being a bomb — almost certain loss. Most players settle on 3 or 5 mines as the sweet spot between risk and reward.
Multiplier progression explained
The multiplier in Mines grows with every star you reveal. Each star adds a multiplicative increase based on how many safe tiles remain on the grid. The fewer safe tiles remain, the larger the multiplier jump.
With 3 mines on a 25-tile grid, the approximate multiplier progression is:
| Stars Revealed | Approximate Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1 star | ~1.13x |
| 2 stars | ~1.29x |
| 3 stars | ~1.48x |
| 4 stars | ~1.71x |
| 5 stars | ~1.99x |
| 8 stars | ~3.25x |
| 12 stars | ~7.42x |
| 15 stars | ~14.9x |
| 20 stars | ~90x+ |
Approximate values — actual multipliers depend on the platform version and are shown live in the game interface.
How to play Mines — step by step
Open the Mines game
Log in to your in999 account, go to the Home screen, and tap Mines under the Original games category. You can also access it from the Original section directly.
Set your bet and mine count
Enter your bet amount. Minimum bet is ₹10. Then choose the number of mines for the round — typically 1, 3, 5, 10, or 24. Tap Bet to begin.
Reveal tiles one at a time
Tap any tile on the 5x5 grid to reveal it. If it shows a star, your multiplier increases. If it shows a bomb, the round ends and you lose the bet.
Cash out at any time
Tap the Cash Out button at any point after revealing at least one star. Your payout is bet amount × current multiplier. If you keep revealing and hit a bomb, you lose the entire bet.
Repeat with a new round
The next round begins automatically. You can change the bet amount, mine count, or stop entirely.
Cash-out strategy
Cash-out timing is the single most important decision in Mines. The choice is between locking in a small multiplier or pushing for a larger one.
Conservative strategy
Cash out after 2–3 stars revealed. Multiplier stays small (1.13x–1.48x with 3 mines) but win rate is high. Good for grinding small consistent profits.
Balanced strategy
Cash out after 4–6 stars. Multiplier reaches 1.71x–2.2x. Moderate risk per round with reasonable reward. Most players use this range.
Aggressive strategy
Push for 8+ stars. Multiplier can reach 3x–10x or more. Higher payout but the probability of hitting a bomb grows with each tile revealed.
Fixed target strategy
Decide a target multiplier before the round begins (for example, 2x) and cash out the moment it is reached. Removes emotional decisions.
Bankroll and risk tips
Use the 5% rule
Never bet more than 5% of your bankroll in a single Mines round. With a ₹1,000 bankroll, maximum bet should be ₹50.
Start with 3 mines
3 mines is the most balanced setting for beginners. Higher mine counts dramatically increase bomb probability.
Set a fixed cash-out multiplier
Decide your target multiplier before the round starts. When you reach it, cash out. Do not negotiate with yourself mid-round.
Set a loss limit
Decide the maximum amount you are willing to lose per session. Stop when you reach it.
Do not chase losses
Increasing bet size or mine count to recover from a loss is a common mistake. Stick to consistent bets.
Take breaks
Mines rounds are fast. Set a timer for 20–30 minutes and take a short break when it rings.
Avoid max mine settings
24-mine rounds are essentially coin flips against very high odds. They are not a sustainable strategy.
