The mines game is decided when I press bet. prior to you picking any tiles .. the only thing that is a variable is the amount of tiles allowed before game over ..
If the RNG says 3 tiles than you guessed pick three anywhere it doesn't matter Wich ones . They will be a gem but number 4 is game over .. it's eaassy to see this if you pay attention. Or play long enough
Bottom line is you probably get the game winning round more often than you think but you cash out before you make it all the way ... Everyone does ... Or has.
It's a viscous game not for the faint hearted lmao
furthest I have personally gotten was 10 gems @ 12 mines 13 gems
