A public rule for each row
A four-by-four board is chosen uniformly from legal placements of the selected 3, 4 or 5 mines. Within each row, mines form at most one contiguous block; an empty row is allowed. The board remains fixed during the round.
Safe reveals filter the possibilities
After safe reveals, gross quote = 0.96 × captured stake × initial legal-board count / remaining compatible-board count. Each safe reveal keeps only boards where that cell is safe. The captured stake is fixed at start and does not grow as cells are revealed. A mine ends the round with zero return.
Collect or reveal another eligible cell
Cells that are certainly mines are disabled. A cell is also disabled if its safe outcome would quote more than 1,000 times the stake. When no eligible reveal remains, the current quote is collected automatically. Manual collection becomes available after the first safe reveal.
The exact probability basis
The legal support sizes are 408, 986 and 1,704 for 3, 4 and 5 mines. At a current support of C boards, an eligible cell safe in S boards has conditional safe probability S/C. Its safe quote changes by C/S. Including the mine outcome, this preserves exact 96% expected gross return; it does not guarantee a session balance or a profitable collection.
A finite stored wallet
The initial demo balance is 1,000 coins. Starting subtracts the captured stake. Settlement adds the gross return, retaining fractional remainders for later settlements. When idle with a balance below 10, the restore button sets the balance to 1,000; it does not add 1,000.

Frequently asked questions
Do safe odds remain fixed?
No. Safe reveals filter the compatible legal boards, so each remaining cell’s conditional safe probability is recalculated.
When can I collect manually?
After at least one safe reveal, while the round remains active.
Does reload refund an unfinished round?
No. The unfinished round ends without refund or resume. Stored whole balance and fractional carry remain unless site storage is removed.
