Crash game

A fast game where the win multiplier climbs until a random "crash" — you must cash out before it falls. The best-known example is Aviator.

Definition

A crash game is a genre of instant games where, after a bet, a multiplier starts rising — 1.00×, 1.50×, 2.00× and on — and can “crash” at any moment. The win is your bet times the multiplier at the moment you cashed out; if the crash comes first, you lose the bet.

The genre’s best-known representative is Spribe’s Aviator (RTP 97%), where a rising plane depicts the multiplier. Many crash games use a provably fair system that lets you verify each round’s randomness after the fact. The fast pace and simplicity make the genre popular, but they also demand discipline.

Example: you bet €5 and cash out at a 2.00× multiplier — you get €10. If you wait for 5.00× but the crash comes at 3.47×, you lose the bet entirely.

How does a crash game work?

1

Bet before the round

Bets are placed before the multiplier starts; you can often make two parallel bets.

2

The multiplier grows

The multiplier rises in real time; the moment of the crash is random each round.

3

Cash out

Press the cash-out button before the crash — the win is your bet × the current multiplier.

4

Autoplay

Most games let you set an auto cash-out at a certain multiplier, which reduces the role of emotions.

Can the moment of the crash be predicted in advance?

No. Each round’s crash point is random and independent of previous ones — tracking patterns gives no edge, as in other games of chance.

What is provably fair?

A cryptographic system where the round’s result is fixed before the start and the player can later verify it with a hash. This shows the result wasn’t changed after the fact.
