Desk rules

Rule	What it means in practice
Answer first	The first two sentences of a guide answer the question in the title.
Computed, not typed	Every probability, multiplier, hash and simulation result is produced by running code, then pasted.
Re-run before publishing	A script recomputes the numbers, and the calculator is checked against the same Python output.
Label examples	Example rounds, seeds and players are fictional and labelled as such.
No winning systems	We explain why pick counts and patterns don't beat the edge; we never present a method as a way to win.
No rankings	We don't rate, rank or recommend operators.
No profit claims	Gambling is presented as entertainment with a cost, never as income.

Games differ

Mines games vary in board size, edge, rounding and how boards are generated. Where we show a method, we say it's a common convention and tell you to compare it with the documentation of the game you're looking at.

Corrections

If you find an error, email support@minesgamesites.com. We fix confirmed errors promptly and add an "Updated" date to the guide.

Commercial influence

Commercial relationships, if any, are described on our disclosure page and have no say over what a guide concludes.
