Mines Supreme 92%: the sharpest artwork and the dearest return
Supreme is a separate game in the Hacksaw line, not a prefix to the ordinary Mines: the studio describes it as a more intense version of the classic formula, and the picture really is fiercer. The grid is the same, 5x5; the ceiling is the same, 10000x. What differs is the share the game keeps: eight percent of turnover against one and a half at the set's leader. The number is in the name, and that is honest.
What sits behind a gap of six and a half points
A return of 92 means that of every hundred units wagered the game returns ninety-two on average and keeps eight. At Minesweeper by BGaming the same arithmetic gives 1.6. The gap between them is 6.4 points, and over a series of bets it accumulates linearly.
The practical sum looks like this. A hundred bets of ten is a turnover of a thousand. A game at 98.4 keeps 16 of it on average, a game at 92 keeps 80. Both will show the same grids, the same multipliers and the same abrupt ends: the difference is visible only in the total, and only over a long run. Over a short session you really will not feel it - it shows over thousands of bets, not dozens.
That is why choosing a version in mines matters more than choosing a strategy. No sequence of clicks moves the return, while switching from a game at 92 to one at 97.5 moves it at once and for good.
Multipliers by mine count at RTP 92
Compare any cell with the same cell on the Mines 94% page: the difference is the price of two points. The 10000x ceiling cuts the same rows as at the neighbouring build.

Three mines, five tiles - 1.86x. At the 94 build the same cell is 1.90x, at Mines+ at 97.5 it is 1.97x. Eleven hundredths on the most ordinary round, and they do not depend on luck: that is exactly the part the studio kept for itself. The whole field at three mines is worth 2116x here against 2243x at Mines+ - a difference you can see with the naked eye.
Why one game has different RTPs in reviews
Hacksaw Gaming supplies mines in several builds. The mechanics are one, the return differs, and the casino chooses which to take. That is why reviews of one and the same game quote different values - each describes the build its author saw, and all of them are right in their own way.
Here the question is settled by the name. The number is out on the shelf, and a build can no longer be swapped quietly. The side effect is the same as at Mines 94%: two versions of one family sit side by side in the lobby, and the choice between them comes down to one number. The rule is wider than one studio: if a mines game shows no RTP in the lobby, that is not "probably standard" - it means it was not shown.
When this game is nevertheless the right pick
There is one case, and it is not about money. The studio made the Supreme artwork noticeably sharper than the ordinary version, and for anyone who came to mines for spectacle rather than return that may matter more than two points. In every other case the same 5x5 grid offers Hot Mines at 97 and Mines+ at 97.5 - and the difference in return there comes free.

What people ask about Mines Supreme
Is it true that Mines Supreme has the lowest RTP
In this set, yes: 92. Nobody goes lower. The gap to the leader is 6.4 points: Minesweeper by BGaming keeps 1.6 percent of turnover, Mines Supreme keeps 8, that is five times more.
What does the word Supreme in the name mean
It is a separate game in the line, not a prefix to the ordinary Mines. The studio describes it as a more intense version of the classic formula. The mechanics stay the same: a 5x5 grid, a mine count of your choice, a payout that grows with every safe tile.
Is it worth playing when a 94 build sits next to it
For return - no. Mines 94% by the same studio is the same format, the same 10000-stake ceiling and two points more return. The only things that set Supreme apart are the artwork and the name; if you like them more, that is a legitimate reason, just know its price.
Different reviews quote different RTPs for this game - whom to believe
The value depends on the build: Hacksaw Gaming ships the game in several versions with different returns, and reviews describe different ones. The platform carries the build whose return is in the name - 92. The number in the name is the answer to which version is in front of you.
