Rust Mines EV calculator

Calculate the exact probability, payout multiplier, and EV per $1 bet for any 5×5 Mines configuration. Free, client-side, supports 1-24 mines with any stop-point and any house edge.
Probability of reaching this stop
66.96%
Cash-out multiplier
1.47x
EV per $1 bet
$0.9843

Multipliers are truncated to 2 decimals (as most Mines engines do), so the realised edge runs a little above the entered base edge depending on mine count and stop point. Every Mines game on RustSnowball is house-banked and provably fair — verify any round at /provably-fair.

The math

With N mines on a 25-tile grid, after K safe clicks the probability that the (K+1)-th click is safe is (25 - K - N) / (25 - K). The cumulative probability of all first K clicks being safe is the product of those terms.

Fair multiplier = 1 / probability. Applying the house edge you enter, the paid multiplier is (1 − edge) × fair multiplier (truncated to 2 decimals, as most engines do). EV per $1 = probability × multiplier, so the long-run edge is the same at every mine count and stop point — only the variance changes.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Mines EV calculator work?
On a 5×5 grid with N mines and K safe clicks, win probability = product of (25-k-N)/(25-k) for k in 0..K-1. Fair multiplier is 1/probability; the calculator applies the house edge you enter to get the paid multiplier.
Why does EV stay the same across stop points?
On a house-banked game the long-run EV is the same at every stop point — the stop point changes only your variance, not the underlying edge.
Does mine count matter for EV?
No. Long-run EV is the same at every count for a given edge — mine count controls variance (3 mines = low, 24 mines = lottery), not EV.
