Plinko, Mines and Limbo: related instant games

Many crypto and “originals” casinos sit crash games next to a family of instant games: Limbo, Plinko and Mines. They share the provably fair approach and a fixed house edge, but each presents risk differently.

Limbo

Pick a target, say 3x. The game draws a result from essentially the same distribution as a crash game and shows it instantly. Win if it’s at or above 3x. The odds match the probability table. See our Limbo overview.

Plinko

A ball drops through rows of pegs into slots with fixed multipliers. More rows and higher risk settings spread the payouts further apart. The house edge is built into the slot multipliers.

Mines

A grid hides mines. Each safe tile you reveal raises the multiplier, and you cash out whenever you like. More mines make each step riskier and better paid. It works like a crash game that moves in discrete steps.

The common thread

All three let you control volatility, and all three carry a house edge on every bet. Rounds take a second or less, so set limits before you start (see bankroll management).
