At a glance
Mines-style games use a grid of hidden tiles. Crash-style games use a changing multiplier and an end point. They are different formats, even when both appear in a mini-game section.
What gives mini games their character?
These formats usually focus on a small set of visual elements. The appeal is easy to recognise from the screen, but a simple layout does not mean identical rules or predictable outcomes.
What to Look For
- 01Mines-style gridsThe layout centres on hidden tiles and revealed symbols. Board size and the way a round ends depend on the specific game.
- 02Crash-style roundsA multiplier changes during the round and stops at an end point. Animations and names may differ between versions.
- 03Know the exact titleTwo games can share a format without sharing the same rules. Read the title and information panel instead of relying on a familiar-looking cover.

Questions, Answered
Are Mines and crash games the same?
No. Mines uses a hidden-tile layout, while a crash-style game centres on a changing multiplier.
Does a short round mean an easier result?
No. Round length describes pace; it does not establish the probability of an outcome.
