GOATED Mines review: 99% RTP, 5,000,000x max win, 508,345 public bets tracked

GOATED Mines is a 5x5 grid game at a 1% house edge, so the declared RTP is 99%. You hide 1 to 24 mines, flip tiles for gems and cash out after any safe pick. GOATED puts the top multiplier at 5,000,000x.

How GOATED Mines plays

Every gem raises the multiplier, and a mine ends the round and takes the stake. Clear every safe tile and the round pays out at its top multiplier. With 3 mines the first gem pays about 1.13x, and with 24 mines the one safe tile pays 24.75x. The board is fixed before your first click.

GOATED Mines multiplier math

GOATED’s game page says the 1% edge comes off at every reveal. Its worked example compounds it, to about 1.27x on the second gem with 3 mines. The Mines guide on GOATED’s blog lists 831.98x for 8 gems with 12 mines, which is fair odds less a single 1%. A 1% cut at every reveal would return less than 99% on any run past the first gem. The blog’s figures are the ones that match the 99% RTP both pages quote.

Is GOATED Mines provably fair?

Yes. Mine positions come from an HMAC-SHA256 hash of GOATED’s server seed with your client seed, nonce and cursor. Rotate your seed pair to reveal the server seed, then rebuild any past board on GOATED’s verify page.
