Aviator: how the crash game works

A small plane takes off, a multiplier climbs, and you decide when to cash out before it flies away. Here is what is really going on under the hood.

The basics

Aviator was released by Spribe in 2019 and is the game that made crash games mainstream. Each round you place a bet before take-off. As the plane climbs, the multiplier grows from 1.00x upwards. Press cash out and your stake is multiplied by the current value. If the plane flies off first, that bet is lost.

The round can end at any moment — sometimes almost immediately, sometimes after a long climb. No pattern in past rounds tells you where the next one will stop.

Features worth knowing

What the 97% RTP means

RTP (return to player) of 97% means that over a very large number of rounds, about 97% of all money bet is paid back and 3% is kept by the house. It says nothing about a single session: short sessions swing wildly in both directions.

Strategies such as always cashing out at 1.5x or doubling after a loss do not change the RTP. They only change how your wins and losses are spread out.

How to check a round yourself

Aviator's provably fair system lets you confirm that a round's result was fixed before anyone placed a bet. Before each round the game shows a hashed version of the next server seed. The result is then built from that server seed combined with client seeds from the first three players who bet in the round.

After the round, open it from the round history. You will see the server seed, the client seeds and the combined hash. Run the server seed through any SHA-256 tool and compare the output with the hash that was shown before the round: if they match, the seed was not swapped mid-round. You can also set your own client seed in the game settings. None of this tells you anything about the next round — it only proves the last one was not changed.

Odds of reaching each multiplier

With an RTP of 97%, the chance that a round reaches a multiplier equals 97% divided by that multiplier. This is the math behind every cash-out decision:

Cash out atChance to get thereOn average
1.2x80.8%1 in 1.2 rounds
1.5x64.7%1 in 1.5 rounds
2x48.5%1 in 2.1 rounds
3x32.3%1 in 3.1 rounds
5x19.4%1 in 5.2 rounds
10x9.7%1 in 10.3 rounds
20x4.85%1 in 20.6 rounds
50x1.94%1 in 51.5 rounds
100x0.97%1 in 103.1 rounds

Whatever target you choose, the expected return stays the same: 97% of what you bet. A higher target only swaps frequent small wins for rare big ones. Figures use the standard crash-game model; the provider's exact algorithm may differ slightly.

Questions

Can you predict when the plane will fly away?

No. Each round's crash point is random and independent of previous rounds. Apps or bots that claim to predict Aviator are scams.

Is there a demo mode?

Many casinos offer a free demo of Aviator with virtual credits. It is the best way to learn the controls without risking money.

What is the best cash-out point?

There is none that beats the house edge. Lower targets win more often but pay less; higher targets pay more but win rarely.

Does provably fair mean I can predict the next crash?

No. You can only verify a round after it has finished. The next server seed is shown only as a hash, which cannot be reversed.
