Is Mines Provably Fair? How to Verify Every Round (2026)

Yes. Mines and the other instant games on Fish & Chips (Plinko, Limbo, Spin Wheel and Video Poker) use the same provably fair scheme. You don't have to trust us: you can re-compute every result yourself.

TL;DR: before you bet, the server shows sha256(serverSeed). Each result comes from HMAC-SHA256(serverSeed, clientSeed:nonce:cursor). When you rotate the seed, the old server seed is revealed so you can verify every past round.

The three ingredients

From seed to result

The server computes HMAC_SHA256(serverSeed, clientSeed + ":" + nonce + ":" + cursor) and reads it as a stream of bytes. Every four bytes become a number between 0 and 1. Mines uses these numbers to shuffle the 25 tiles and place the mines, Plinko uses one per row to go left or right, Limbo turns one into a multiplier, Spin Wheel picks a segment, and Video Poker shuffles the deck.

How to verify

  1. Note the server seed hash shown in the game's fairness panel.
  2. Play some rounds.
  3. Press Rotate seed. The old server seed is revealed.
  4. Hash it with SHA-256 and check that it matches the hash you noted.
  5. Re-run the HMAC with your client seed and each nonce to reproduce each result.

What fairness does not change

The instant games pay 97% in the long run (Plinko 96.6–97%, Video Poker 96.9% with perfect play). Bets are 0.1–5 USDT and a single bet pays at most 20 USDT. Provable fairness shows the game is honest, not that it can be beaten.

Frequently asked questions

What does provably fair mean?

The result is fixed by data the casino commits to before you bet, so you can re-compute it afterwards and confirm nothing was changed.

Does provably fair mean I will win?

No. It proves results were not tampered with. The games still carry a house edge (97% RTP on the instant games).

How do I check an old round?

Rotate your seed in the fairness panel. That reveals the previous server seed, which you can hash to match the commitment and then use to re-derive every result made with it.
