Crash Game

Casino

The rising-multiplier format behind Aviator and JetX. Where the crash point comes from, and why nothing on screen predicts it.

A crash game is a casino format built on a rising multiplier. A round starts at one times the stake and climbs; at a point decided when the round is generated, it stops — it crashes. A player who took the payout before that moment keeps stake multiplied by the multiplier shown; a player still in when it crashes loses the stake. Aviator and JetX are the widely copied examples, and most versions add a second bet slot, an auto-cashout setting and a live feed of other players' bets. The crash point is produced by the game's random number generator before the round is displayed, so nothing on screen — the curve, the streak of low or high rounds, what other players did — carries information about it. Games in this family often publish a provably fair check, which lets a player verify after the fact that the result was fixed before betting; that verifies fairness, not predictability. Auto-cashout is a convenience for reacting at a set multiplier, not an edge. What sets crash apart in practice is pace and social pressure. Rounds run in seconds, the visible feed shows other people's wins as they happen, and the stake is placed again in the time a slot spin takes. Return figures and maximum multipliers differ between titles and operators; the game's own rules screen is where they are stated.
