Aviator game guide: how the crash round actually works

Quick answer
In Aviator a multiplier climbs from 1.00x and stops at a random point. Cash out before it stops and your stake is paid at the multiplier on screen; miss it and the stake is lost. Auto cash-out and a fixed stake size matter far more than quick reflexes.
Key takeaways
- What happens in an Aviator round? 00x and the multiplier rises until it stops at a random point.
- How does auto cash-out help? 60x, before the round starts, so the bet cashes out automatically when the multiplier reaches it.
- How should you manage your bankroll? Treat each session as a fixed budget and keep single stakes near one percent of it.
- Which mistakes empty a balance fastest? Doubling the stake after every loss is the quickest way to lose a balance.
What happens in an Aviator round?
Each round starts at 1.00x and the multiplier rises until it stops at a random point. Cash out while it is still climbing and your stake comes back multiplied by the figure shown at that moment. If it stops first, you lose that round's stake.
How does auto cash-out help?
Auto cash-out lets you set a fixed exit, such as 1.60x, before the round starts, so the bet cashes out automatically when the multiplier reaches it. That takes reaction speed out of the game. Your results then depend only on the exit you chose and how much you stake, not on your timing.
- Low exits land often and pay little.
- High exits pay well and land rarely.
- Splitting a stake across two exits smooths out the swings.
How should you manage your bankroll?
Treat each session as a fixed budget and keep single stakes near one percent of it. Pick a win figure and a loss figure before you start, and stop when you reach either one.
Which mistakes empty a balance fastest?
Doubling the stake after every loss is the quickest way to lose a balance. Past rounds tell you nothing about the next one, because every round's stopping point is generated independently. Our crash games explainer covers the multiplier maths in more depth.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions this guide raises most.
Can you predict when the Aviator multiplier will stop?
No. Each round stops at an independent random point, so earlier rounds tell you nothing about the next.
What is a sensible auto cash-out setting?
There is no correct figure. A low exit like 1.60x lands more often and pays less, while a higher exit pays more and lands less often. Choose one and size your stake for it.
How much should I stake per round?
Around one percent of your session budget keeps a losing run from ending the session early.
Does doubling after a loss work?
No. It raises stakes fast during a losing run and is the quickest way to empty a balance.
