Towers expert mode
Expert mode runs 8 rows of 4 tiles each, with 3 mines hidden per row (only 1 safe). Per-row safe probability is 1/4 = 25%.
Reaching the top requires 8 consecutive 25% events: (1/4)^8 ≈ 0.0015%. That sliver of probability + the per-row payout ladder produces the biggest Towers peak.

Strategy notes
- Expert is jackpot-chase mode. 45% house edge means bankrolls bleed fast.
- Most players stop at row 2-3 (4.84-10.64x multipliers) — climbing further is asking for variance pain.
- For chasing the ~548x peak: bet small and treat each bet as a lottery ticket.
- Not for long-term play.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is expert mode RTP only 55%?
- High variance + high peak multiplier means the math has to give somewhere. Expert's 0.0015% top-reach probability + ~548x peak means most rounds end with no payout.
- Should I play expert if I want the biggest wins?
- Yes for the variance chase. No for the EV. A peak win at expert (~548x) feels enormous; the math says you'll lose 45 cents of every dollar long-run on the first decision.
