Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added to its arcade offering with the launch of Mines+, a fast-paced experience where players avoid mines to unlock prizes.
Mines+ is set on a 5×5 grid where players click on squares in the hope of revealing hidden diamonds, which increase the total win multiplier. The player can cash out at any point in the game, which also ends when either a mine is struck or all diamonds are revealed.
Before placing a bet, the player can customise their experience and adjust the payout potential by selecting from 1-24 mines on the grid. They can also click on the grid positions manually, leave it to chance with the ‘Random’ option, or set a custom path in autoplay mode.
Mines+ is the latest title to join Pragmatic Play’s arcade portfolio, following the launch of hit release Plinko+.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Mines+ is an exciting addition to our growing range of arcade games, offering fun and simple mechanics with adjustable volatility and quickfire gameplay.”
Industry Perspective
Pragmatic Play’s Mines+ launch reflects the growing operator demand for arcade-style gaming content that bridges traditional casino offerings and skill-based entertainment. The mine-avoidance format, popularized in crypto gaming circles, has gained traction among operators seeking fast-session content that appeals to both casual players and experienced bettors.
The customizable volatility feature—allowing players to select between 1-24 mines—addresses a key challenge in arcade game design: balancing accessibility for recreational players while maintaining engagement for those seeking higher-risk gameplay. This player-controlled variance model has proven successful in Pragmatic Play’s Plinko+ release, suggesting the supplier is refining a formula for arcade content that performs across diverse player segments.
As arcade games capture increasing floor space in operator lobbies, Pragmatic Play’s continued investment in this vertical positions the supplier to capitalize on the format’s momentum, particularly in markets where younger demographics are driving demand for streamlined, mobile-optimized gaming experiences beyond traditional slots and table games.
