Velvet Spin and Vault Run bring two casino-style formats to PixelDen: a three-reel slot and a grid of hidden mines. Both are free browser games. Their credits, gems, and cash-outs have no real-money value.
The games arrived in May. This guide describes their current options, including Velvet Spin's selectable paylines.
At a glance
- Velvet Spin starts with 1,000 fictional credits and offers one, three, or five active paylines.
- Vault Run has a 5×5 grid with three, five, or ten hidden mines.
- Reel outcomes and hidden mines involve chance. A previous result does not tell you what comes next.
- You can play as a guest; sign in to submit supported scores to your profile.
Velvet Spin: bets, paylines, and credits
In Velvet Spin, choose your bet and active paylines before spinning. The bet options are 1, 3, 5, or 10 credits per line. Your total spin cost is the bet multiplied by the number of active lines, so check both settings when changing the stakes.
Press Space or select SPIN. The reels stop in sequence, and qualifying symbols on the active lines pay according to the game's paytable. The diamond combination pays 800 times the line bet; it is a rare outcome, not a target you can make more likely by timing the button.
You begin with 1,000 credits. The leaderboard tracks your peak credit count, so the number of spins alone does not determine your result. A larger bet changes the credits at stake, but it does not guarantee that a losing run will recover.
Use the in-game paytable to see the symbol payouts. Small wins can occur between larger results, but neither those wins nor the advertised combinations promise a particular balance after a session.
Vault Run: reveal a tile or cash out
Vault Run starts with 25 covered tiles. Some hide mines; the rest are safe. Reveal a safe tile to increase your multiplier, then decide whether to continue or cash out. Revealing a mine ends the attempt.
The three settings change how much of the starting board is dangerous:
- 3 mines: 22 safe tiles at the start.
- 5 mines: 20 safe tiles at the start.
- 10 mines: 15 safe tiles at the start; mines occupy 40% of the grid.
The tiles do not provide clues that let you deduce a safe route. Choosing carefully can help you avoid an accidental tap, but it cannot reveal where a hidden mine is. Clearing a board requires favorable outcomes as well as the decision to keep going.
CASH OUT ends the attempt with the result you have accumulated. The score combines the multiplier with gem values; it is not simply a record of the largest multiplier displayed.
Which game should you try?
Choose Velvet Spin if you want to set a stake and watch a reel result. Choose Vault Run if you prefer deciding after each safe reveal whether to continue.
Neither game has a deposit or withdrawal system. “Credits” and “cash out” describe the game rules, and there is no route from these scores to a cash prize.
If you prefer card decisions, Dead Man's Hand uses blackjack in a Weird-West campaign with fictional gold. For a different kind of score challenge, browse the full catalog.
Playing on touch or keyboard
Velvet Spin has a SPIN button and a Space shortcut. Vault Run uses selectable tiles and a CASH OUT button. On a phone, make sure the controls and board fit comfortably before starting an attempt.

Frequently asked questions
Are both games free?
Yes. Both run in the browser and use fictional credits or scores. You do not need to buy credits to play.
Can I win real money?
No. Neither game offers deposits, withdrawals, or cash prizes.
Does Velvet Spin always return most of my credits?
No. A theoretical return figure describes an average over many random outcomes, not a promise for an individual session. Your balance can fall, including to a point where you cannot afford another spin at the selected stake.
Can I identify safe tiles in Vault Run?
There are no visible clues that identify the hidden mines. The difficulty tells you how many mines are on the board, not where they are.
What do the leaderboards measure?
Velvet Spin uses peak credits. Vault Run calculates a score from the multiplier and gem values. Sign in to connect supported submissions to your player profile.
