Crash and instant games
In a crash game, a multiplier rises from 1x until it stops at a random point; players who cash out before the stop win their stake times the multiplier, and those who wait too long lose it. Crash, mines, plinko and similar instant games are short, social and mobile, and they have become a fast-growing category in online casino lobbies.
The maths
A crash game's RTP is set by the distribution of crash points. If the game keeps a small share of rounds as instant crashes, or scales every multiplier down by a fixed factor, every cash-out target returns the same share of stakes in the long run, so no strategy changes the house edge. Our sister site 2xCrash explains the maths in detail, with free simulators.
Provably fair
Many crash games, especially those that started on crypto sites, publish a hash of each round's result before the round is played, so players can check afterwards that the result was fixed in advance. It proves that a round was not changed; it says nothing about whether the operator is licensed where the player lives.
Regulation
Where crash games are offered legally, they are licensed and certified as online casino games, and regulators apply the same rules on RTP disclosure, speed of play and stake limits. Much of their growth, however, has been on offshore sites, which is why some regulators look closely at the format and at its marketing.
