Independent Scope
OP16 is a search label, not an operator identity established by this guide. op16.cc is an independent information guide with its own Bishop Clearance Mines demo. No company, licence, official account domain, commercial game catalogue, payment service, app publisher or support contact is verified here. Search position, a similar name and page appearance cannot establish those facts.
What Evidence Would Need to Establish
An external licensing claim would need evidence connecting the exact operator and domain to an independently checked authority record. A copied badge, HTTPS connection, successful small payment or favourable review alone cannot supply that connection. No such verified connection is provided here, and absence of evidence is not a conclusion that every similarly named service is genuine or fraudulent.
Limits of Package Evidence
A filename, version label, file size or copied logo cannot establish who published a file. Matching a hash only establishes matching bytes when its reference source is independently trusted; it does not establish safe behaviour. This guide has no trusted OP16 package reference or certificate to compare. It therefore gives no installation sequence, permission recommendation or claim that an external package is safe.
Scope and External Limits
These pages describe this guide’s scope and its original demo. They do not rank an external business, confirm financial reliability, provide a legal opinion or establish permission to gamble in any country. External activities have rules and eligibility requirements that this guide has not verified. The original demo does not reproduce an external product’s interface or odds.
Expectation and Its Limits
The exact unrounded expected return is 97% of captured stakes for permitted stopping policies. This is an expectation over repeated play, not a promised session result. The diagonal constraint changes conditional probabilities after a reveal; it does not identify the hidden layout in advance. Neither guessing a pattern nor changing stake increases that expected return. These probabilities belong only to this original demo.
Fixed Diagonal-Clear Layouts
Bishop Clearance Mines uses a four-by-four board. Choose 3, 4 or 5 hazards before starting. No two hazards share any chess diagonal, including separated cells. The three presets have exactly 232, 260 and 112 legal layouts respectively. One layout is chosen uniformly and remains fixed during the round; hazards are not moved after a reveal.

How are hazards placed?
Bishop Clearance Mines uses a four-by-four board. Choose 3, 4 or 5 hazards before starting. No two hazards share any chess diagonal, including separated cells. The three presets have exactly 232, 260 and 112 legal layouts respectively. One layout is chosen uniformly and remains fixed during the round; hazards are not moved after a reveal.
How is the collection value calculated?
The initial gross collection value is 0.97 times the captured stake. For each unopened cell, count the remaining legal layouts compatible with all safe reveals. Its displayed safe probability is the proportion without a hazard in that cell. A safe reveal divides the current collection value by this exact probability. A hazard ends the round with zero return. The displayed percentage is rounded for reading; the payout uses the exact fraction.
When does collection happen?
A proven safe cell has probability one and adds no multiplier. A proven hazard has probability zero and cannot be selected. A choice that would make the collection value exceed 1000 times the captured stake is disabled individually. Other eligible choices remain available. The game collects automatically when no eligible uncertain choice remains. Otherwise, collect after at least one safe reveal or choose another enabled cell.
