If you're looking for a change from playing traditional table and card games or want a break from your favourite online slots, you may want to consider playing a new type of online casino game called Aviator.
It's classed as a 'crash' game, which is a relatively new concept online casino game and is now available to play in the real money mode, provided you are at least 18 years old, on the official 10bet South Africa website.
Let's dive straight in to discover more about crash games like Aviator, which has also been described as a casual game or social multiplayer game.
What exactly are crash games?
Crash games are real money gambling games you can now find at many fully licensed and regulated South African online casinos, such as 10bet Games.
They are quite unlike any other online casino game and can't be compared to slots, video poker, blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, scratchcards, or any other lotto-style games like bingo or keno.
A crash game is essentially a multiplier game. You select your stake, start a new round, and must hit the cashout button before the multiplier crashes. During a round, which can last anywhere from a second up to 15 or more seconds, the multiplier value that moves across the screen will fluctuate.
The key to this game is not being too greedy and hitting the cashout button just in time. If you cash out in time, as soon as the crash occurs, the total stake that you wagered for that round will be multiplied by the multiplier value on display to give you your total payout.
If you don't cash out in time, your stake will be lost with zero winnings, and a new round can start straight away.
How do I play the popular new Aviator game at 10bet?
Let's take a closer look at one example of the world's most popular crash game – a game called Aviator, which is brought to you by a company called Spribe. To play this crash game in the real money mode, you would first need to register your free 10bet Games account, which can be done in under a minute.
The aviator - crash game can be found by logging into your new 10bet account, clicking on the 10bet Games section, and then heading to the 'Crash' games section. In here, you can find Aviator and another crash game from Pragmatic Play called Spaceman.
Simply hover over the Aviator thumbnail and click or tap on the play button. The game will instantly launch in your web browser, provided you have a stable Wi-Fi/internet connection.
The Aviator game is so-called because it has an Aviator/Flying theme. Other crash games have different themes. When the game has finished loading (usually after five seconds at the most), use the player controls at the bottom of the game window to adjust your stake to a value you are comfortable with that corresponds best to your bankroll.
You don't want to spend your entire bankroll on your first goal, so reduce the stake when it's your first time playing. Low rollers can play one round of Aviator from just $/€/£0.10 (R2.00), and high rollers are permitted to spend up to $/€/£100.00 (approx. R2,400) per round.
As soon as you have placed your bet and confirmed the amount by tapping/clicking the green button, which should now say 'bet + your amount,' you will automatically be entered into the next round.
When a new round begins, all you have to do is watch as the plane sets off across the screen from left to right, leaving a multiplier trail in its wake. The longer you leave it, the bigger the multiplier will climb. Remember to hit the same button to cash out before you think the plane will fly away.
In the Aviator game, the initial multiplier starts at 1X, but it can potentially climb as high as 10,000x. However, it will very rarely climb this high unless you are super lucky. In most rounds, it crashes between 1.05x and 3.50x, but it's also common to see it go to around 15x or 20x.
The Aviator game is computer-generated, and it uses a sophisticated and frequently tested RNG (Random Number Generator) to determine the results in each round, just like the slots and other computer-generated scratchies, table & card games.
The other important thing to know about the Aviator crash game is that it has an average 97.00% Return to Player (RTP) payout rate, which is above average for online casino games.
Final note
Crash games are a fun new way to experience online casinos, although they may not be for everyone. However, they are still worth checking out if you want something new in your life. You never know; you might prefer playing crash games like Aviator to some of the other games you often play.
