Okay, I just tried this again. The rewards were lower (but so was the penalty for losing), so that's okay I guess.

I don't know how the game is coded, but from how many games I played, it looks like the game is decided by the number of clicks you get to play (and not randomly assigned). Here's why I think this: I lost six time in a row with the bomb being in the exact spot in all the games. That's pretty strange (or I'm just incredibly unlucky).

And I never saw the 1,000 that was advertised. So I don't know. To me, with the way it's laid out, each payout (or bomb) should have the same exact percentage chance in being drawn. So if you flip 100 cards, the 1,000 and bomb should occur around the same many times. But that's obviously not the case, making my theory more plausable.

People must play this for a long time in order to get to the threshold. I got lucky and reached 300 sats, but I lost it all from those abundance of games where the first card was the bomb. Some people might play this, but I don't see this game becoming popular with the way it is. It's definitely not one you play in order to get satoshis.

It is addicting though, and costs nothing to play, so there's that. It's good for when you're bored, and I can see it being popular as some casino site (if you won more games than you currently can), but I don't know how many will play to 'earn' coins. Regular faucets are better for that.
