Mines

Gems and hidden mines on a 5×5 grid. Every gem you find raises your payout — hit a mine and you lose the bet. Cash out whenever you like.

How to play

1. Set your bet and how many mines are hidden (1–24).
2. Press Start, then pick tiles one at a time.
3. Each gem raises the payout. The button shows what you'd get if you cashed out now.
4. Cash out before you hit a mine — or try to clear the whole board.

The payout after each safe tile is 0.99 ÷ the chance of surviving that many picks, so cashing out at any point is worth the same 99% on average.

Questions

When should I cash out?

It doesn't change the average: cashing out after any number of gems returns the same 99% over time. It only changes how risky each round is.

How many mines should I pick?

More mines means each gem pays much more but every pick is riskier. With 3 mines your first tile is safe 88% of the time.

Can I win real money?

No. Chiplets is play money only — chips can't be bought, cashed out or exchanged for anything.
