Mines Supreme is Hacksaw Gaming's upgraded take on the classic mines format, released as part of the studio's Dare2Win range of instant games. The theme is a hunt for diamonds hidden among explosives, but the presentation borrows more from retro arcade signage than from a mine shaft. A deep navy backdrop sets off chunky white lettering, while the word Supreme is written in glowing orange neon script that underlines the title like a vintage diner sign. The look is clean and confident, typical of Hacksaw's design team, and it keeps the board itself free of clutter so that every revealed square reads clearly on a phone as well as on a large monitor.
There are no reels and no paylines. Instead, the game is played on a square grid of hidden squares, and the grid size can be switched between 3x3, 5x5, 7x7 and 9x9, with the number of mines set by the player as well. That flexibility is the main difference from older mines titles, which usually lock you into a single board. Above the grid, a row of payout bars shows what the next safe pick is worth, so each round unfolds as a series of clear choices. Mines Supreme also hides more than diamonds and bombs behind its squares; several special tiles can change a round, and they are explained in the next section.
The game is likely to appeal to players who enjoy controlling their own risk and who like short rounds with an immediate result. It suits fans of crash games and other casino originals, and anyone who has played a standard mines title and wants more variety in each round. Players who mainly look for cinematic themes or long bonus features may find it spare. Read on for a closer look at the special squares, the game settings and the numbers behind them.
A round of Mines Supreme starts when you press BET. From then on you pick squares one by one, and each square can hide a Diamond, a Mine or one of three special symbols. Every Diamond adds to the collectable win, while a Mine ends the round and takes that win away. You can collect at any time, and if every safe square has been revealed the win is collected automatically. The payout bars above the grid show the current collectable amount and what each further Diamond would bring, which makes the risk of the next click easy to judge.
The special squares are what earn the Supreme name. A Shield gives you protection against the next Mine you uncover: the Mine is defused, the round continues, and the Shield is used up. Shields only appear when you play with at least two mines, there are always fewer Shields than Mines, and the collect button stays locked until an active Shield has been spent. Multiplier squares carry values of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 100x and multiply the current collectable win, after which new Diamonds keep adding on top. The rarest find is the Max Win Diamond, which pays the game's top prize at once and closes the round.
Game settings shape everything. More mines mean bigger payouts per Diamond and greater risk; a larger grid or fewer mines lowers both. Autoplay lets you choose a number of picks per round and either a random pattern or a custom set of squares, with the maximum number of picks equal to the grid size minus the mines. Together these options let one game behave like several very different ones.
The published RTP for Mines Supreme is 86%, a figure that sits clearly below the 96% common for video slots and below many other mines titles. It is the main drawback of the game, and it is worth keeping in mind when deciding how long to play. A lower return means that over many rounds a larger share of stakes stays with the house, regardless of the settings you choose.
Volatility is rated medium-high, but the real character of each session depends on the configuration. A 9x9 grid with a single mine produces frequent small wins and long, calm rounds, while a 3x3 board packed with mines turns every pick into a coin flip with sharp payouts. Shields soften the most painful outcomes, and Multipliers create sudden jumps in value, so even moderate setups can produce surprising swings. This is not a game where wins arrive on a steady schedule; it is one where the player decides how much tension each round carries.
The maximum win is 10,000x the bet, or the operator's maximum exposure if that is lower. It can be reached through a long run with high multipliers or instantly via the Max Win Diamond, which pays the full amount the moment it is uncovered. There is no jackpot, so the top prize is fixed and the same for everyone. In short, Mines Supreme offers a flexible, decision-driven experience with a high ceiling, but its modest return makes it better suited to short, deliberate sessions than to marathon play.
Hit a 100x multiplier on a 5x5 board with five mines and my collectable jumped from 2.4x to 240x. I bailed right after. Never seen the Max Win Diamond, but the multipliers alone make it worth trying.
Clean look, love the neon Supreme logo and the navy board. It's basically just squares though, so don't expect a big themed show.
Shields are the best part. Found one early, walked straight into a mine and kept going to a nice win. Annoying that you can't collect until the shield is used, but that's the deal.
I play the 9x9 grid with one mine on my phone during lunch. Tiny wins every round, no stress, and the squares are big enough to tap even on the large board.
Good game for short sessions with a custom autoplay pattern. The 86% RTP shows if you grind it for hours, so I keep it to quick runs.
Being able to switch between 3x3 and 9x9 keeps it fresh. On the small grid every pick feels like a coin flip and the payout bars climb crazy fast.
