Crash Games — How Aviator & Crash Titles Work
Crash games have one mechanic: a multiplier climbs until the round ends. Cash out before it crashes and you win.
The basic mechanic
A crash game shows a rising multiplier — displayed as a plane taking off, a rocket climbing, or simply a number increasing. You place a bet before the round starts, and you can cash out at any point while the multiplier is rising. If you cash out at 2.4x, you receive 2.4 times your stake. If the round ends before you cash out, you lose your stake.
The multiplier can crash at 1.00 — before even reaching 1x, which means every player loses — or it can climb to hundreds or thousands times. The distribution of crash points is governed by a provably fair algorithm in most implementations.
Provably fair
Most crash games publish the algorithm used to generate crash points and allow players to verify individual rounds after the fact. This transparency is a meaningful protection compared to opaque RNG slots — but it does not change the house edge or make any strategy more profitable.
Auto cash out
All crash games allow you to set an automatic cash-out multiplier before the round starts. If the multiplier reaches your target, the game cashes out automatically. This removes emotion from the decision but does not improve expected value over manual cash out.
Why strategies do not work
Doubling your next bet after a loss (Martingale) is a common crash game strategy. It does not overcome the house edge. Any session where the multiplier consistently crashes early will drain the bankroll before any double-up sequence recovers it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I predict when a crash game will crash?
No. The crash point is determined before the round begins using a provably fair algorithm. Past rounds provide no information about future ones.
What is a good cash-out multiplier?
There is no mathematically "good" target. Lower targets cash out more often but each win is small. Higher targets pay more but you lose the stake more often. Expected value is determined by the house edge, not the target.
Is Aviator the same as other crash games?
The core mechanic is shared, but the crash distribution, maximum multiplier, and presentation differ by studio. Spribe's Aviator has different parameters to Smartsoft's JetX, for example.
