How to use the Mines calculator
- Mines: the number of mines you select on Stake before the round (1 to 24).
- Diamonds: how many safe tiles you want to reveal before cashing out. Mines plus diamonds can never exceed 25.
- Bet amount: optional. Add it to see the win amount and profit in your coin, with up to 8 decimals for crypto.

The Stake Mines formula
A Mines round is a sequence of picks without replacement. With m mines on a 25-tile board, the probability of revealing d diamonds in a row is:
P(win) = C(25 − m, d) / C(25, d)
Multiplier = 0.99 / P(win)
For example, with 3 mines and 5 diamonds the probability is 49.57%, so the multiplier is 0.99 / 0.4957 = 2.00x. With 1 mine and 24 diamonds (clearing the whole board) the chance is exactly 4% and the multiplier is 24.75x.

Reading the results like a strategist
- Same edge, different variance. 1 mine with 5 diamonds pays 1.24x at 80% odds. 10 mines with 3 diamonds pays 5.00x at 19.78% odds. Both lose 1% on average; the second just swings much harder.
- Recovery cost grows fast at low multipliers. At 1.24x you need a 416.67% increase on loss to recover with one win. That is why low-risk Mines setups and martingale rarely mix.
- Size the bet first. Before any progression, check how many losses in a row you can afford with the loss streak calculator.
