How the Mine Works
this slot runs on a 5×3 reel set, but traditional line wins don’t apply here. Instead, the reels decide which pickaxes drop into the mine. After each spin, any pickaxes that land fall into their corresponding column of a 5×7 block field underneath and start chipping away.
Each pickaxe has fixed durability – the number of hits it can deliver before breaking:
- Wooden Pickaxe – 1 hit
- Stone Pickaxe – 2 hits
- Golden Pickaxe – 3 hits
- Enchanted Pickaxe – 4 hits
The mine itself is built from six block types, each with its own durability and payout when fully destroyed:
| Block Type | Hits to Break | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Dirt | 1 | 0x |
| Stone | 2 | 0.1x |
| Ore | 4 | 1x |
| Gold | 5 | 3x |
| Diamond | 6 | 5x |
| Obsidian | 7 | 25x |
Spin to collect pickaxes, watch them fall into their columns, and hope their combined durability chews through the richer layers rather than wasting hits on dirt and stone.
Chests and Multipliers
At the very bottom of each column sits a locked chest. Clear every block in that column, and the chest pops open, revealing a multiplier that applies to the total win from the spin. Open more than one chest in the same round, and they multiply each other. Possible chest values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x.
The chest mechanic is where base-game wins climb. One chest is a nice boost. Two or three chests stacked is where the slot shows its teeth.
Special Symbols
Beyond regular pickaxes, bonus symbols land on the reels and provide extra help breaking through the mine:
- TNT – once all pickaxes finish their hits, any TNT symbols on the reels drop down and explode, dealing 2 damage to all adjacent blocks.
- Enchantment Book – upgrades every pickaxe in its reel to an Enchanted Pickaxe, boosting them to 5-hit durability.
Free Spins Round
Eyes of Ender act as Scatter symbols. Hitting three of them in a single spin triggers the free spins bonus. Players get 4 spins, and they play similarly to the base game – but with one critical twist: the block field does not reset between spins. Whatever progress was made on the triggering spin carries over to the bonus. Each spin keeps chipping away at the same grid, giving a real chance to open multiplier chests or finish off high-value layers instead of starting from scratch every time.
This persistent grid is where serious wins become realistic. Four spins is a tight window, but if the pickaxes land right, the chest multipliers can stack hard.
Buy Feature and Bonus Bet
this slot offers two paid shortcuts into the bonus action:
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus Bet | 3x current stake | Triggers a spin with significantly boosted chance of landing three Eyes of Ender |
| Buy Feature | 100x the bet | Guarantees an immediate trigger of the free spins round |
RTP and Volatility
this slot runs at 96% RTP with high volatility. The game leans heavily on the free spins round and chest multipliers to deliver big wins. Base-game payouts are modest – most winning potential sits at the bottom of the mine, locked behind chests that require a full column clear.
