The Grid Desk

About us

Mines Game Sites publishes plain-English guides to the mines game: how it works, what the odds are and how fairness is checked. The writing team signs as The Grid Desk.

Who we are

Mines Game Sites is a small editorial project. Guides are written and checked by a team that publishes under the shared name The Grid Desk. We use a team name because every guide passes through more than one pair of hands: one person writes, and every probability, multiplier and simulation is re-run by script before anything is published.

What we do

We explain the mines game: the 5×5 board, how mine count and pick count set the odds, how multipliers are priced, what house edge means in practice and how provably fair boards are generated and checked.

What we don't do

  • We don't name, rank or recommend operators.
  • We don't sell or promote "systems" for beating the game. There aren't any.
  • We don't promise profit or suggest gambling is a way to make money.
  • We don't certify or audit any site.

How we're funded

See our disclosure. Some links may be referral links; that never changes what a guide says.
