Crash games strip gambling down to a single choice. A multiplier starts at 1.00x and climbs. At a random moment it crashes. Cash out before that and your stake is multiplied by the number on screen. Still in when it crashes, and the stake is lost.
A round, step by step
- Place your bet during the short pause between rounds.
- The round starts and the multiplier rises, slowly at first and then faster.
- Press cash out whenever you like. Your win is your stake times the multiplier at that moment.
- The round ends when the multiplier crashes. Anyone who has not cashed out loses their bet.
Most games let you set an automatic cash-out, for example at 2.00x, so you do not depend on reaction time. Many also allow two bets in one round, so you can bank one early and let the other run.
Where the crash point comes from
The crash point is decided by the game before the multiplier starts moving. Nothing you or other players do during the round changes it. Many crash games publish a "provably fair" system, which lets you check afterwards that each result was fixed in advance and not altered.
The maths of any target
In the common design, the chance that a round reaches a given multiplier is a little less than one divided by that multiplier. The "little less" is the house edge.
| Cash-out target | Approximate chance of reaching it |
|---|---|
| 1.50x | about 2 in 3 |
| 2.00x | just under 1 in 2 |
| 5.00x | just under 1 in 5 |
| 10.00x | just under 1 in 10 |
This means no target is "smarter" than another. A low target wins often and pays little. A high target wins rarely and pays more. The expected return is the same either way, and it is slightly below 100%. Check the game's information screen for its stated return.
Also expect the occasional round that crashes at or near 1.00x, before anyone can cash out. That is part of the design.
Why limits matter more here
Rounds last seconds, and a new one starts almost immediately. It is easy to play far more rounds than you intended, and tempting to raise the stake after a near miss. Decide your stake per round and your total budget first, use auto cash-out to remove split-second decisions, and stop when you reach your limit.
Remember: the last ten results tell you nothing about the next one. Every round is independent. For help setting limits, see the bankroll guide.
