Mines is a grid game. A number of mines is hidden among the tiles, you choose how many, and you reveal tiles one at a time. Each safe tile raises the multiplier on your stake. You can cash out after any safe tile. Hit a mine and the round is lost. The mine positions are fixed when the round starts.

Free Mines rounds must copy the paid game's rules and RTP under GB and Malta rules, but they hide the house edge every paid click carries. What a demo hides.

On a grid with T tiles and M mines, the first pick is safe with probability (T minus M) divided by T. Each later pick removes one safe tile from both counts, so the chance of surviving several picks is the product of those fractions. More mines or more picks make survival rarer, and the multiplier rises to match.
A fair multiplier for surviving a given number of picks would be one divided by the chance of surviving them. The game pays that fair figure scaled down by its return to player. That scaling is the house edge, and it applies on every cash-out point, which is why no choice of mine count or stopping point removes it. The published RTP and the tile count are enough to rebuild the whole multiplier table.
A demo uses the same grid, the same mine counts and the same payout table as paid play, so it is a fair way to learn the controls and see how often rounds end early. What it cannot show is the cost. A demo stake is free, so the expected loss on every paid click never appears. Regulators such as the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority set rules on how free-play modes must behave, which our insights quote directly.
On provably fair versions, the mine layout is derived from the round's seeds and nonce, so it can be recomputed once the server seed is revealed. Our provably fair hub explains the method.
Insights derive the odds from the grid, rebuild multipliers from the published RTP, and say plainly what demos and strategies leave unchanged.
