So just what is the reason for the recent flood of new games in the Dare2Win series? For my money, I’m going to take a little guess that it could have been the popularity of the developer’s recent Mines game that started all of this off. Mines was essentially a gambling-based version of Minesweeper – yes, that Minesweeper – and you may well be surprised to learn that that game has seen something of a surge in popularity in recent years, with competitive Minesweeper contests being a massive hit with fans of game-streaming website Twitch.

So, how much can you win whilst playing Lines? Leaving the default of just one line active will result in a possible win of 1.05x to 24x the total bet – that small gap at the bottom of the range is designed to stop players from enabling all three possible lines and setting the odds to the lowest possible denominators – this is necessary to keep the RTP at 96%. Once you enable the second line, things become a lot more complex – leave line two at the lowest possible setting (and the top line to its maximum possible setting), and you end up with a bet multiplier of 48.97x. Drag the lower bar up to its massive setting now, and things soon begin to get interesting – you can now reach a win of up to 2,400x the total bet! With the third bar enabled and set to its minimum level, you can win 2,448.97x your bet – some clear patterns are emerging with those numbers by the way, if you look carefully! The maximum win brings a little issue, however – you can’t pull all three lines up to their maximum values, as this would result in a win of 120,000x - far higher than the game’s top limit of 5,000x. You’ll need to change the settings of one or more of your lines to accommodate this before the game lets you play.

As for the betting range, you’ve got minimum/maximum limits of €0.10 and €100.00 per round, respectively. This is plenty enough for a strange little table-style game such as Lines, and I doubt many players will find themselves troubled by the low number of allowed wagers towards the piper end.

In all fairness, I’ve probably described all the most important elements of how Lines works in the payouts paragraph of the previous section. It’s possibly worth adding that some auto modes can be played with here, which will probably be popular with players – I can’t imagine anybody enjoying a title such as this under UKGC-like conditions that prohibit fast or repeated rounds.

You can choose to play between 10 and 1,000 rounds in a row automatically – the exact number you would likely want to pick is probably going to depend on your choices for the other settings. These include the loss limit – 5x, 20x, or 50x are offered as default choices, and there’s also a custom option as well. Of course, no matter how much you are betting, nobody ever truly wants to run into their pre-set loss limit!

No, I suspect that the single win limit will be much more likely used by players – the defaults are quite modest, just like the loss limits – at just 10x, 20x, or 75x the total bet. A custom option is also available, and I’d probably be going for a single hit of 1,000x if I was playing this game for real money. I’d then assess my situation at that stage – unfortunately, I suspect I would probably have run out of money long before I got there!
