Aviator is a crash game where the round is decided before it starts

Spribe launched Aviator in 2019 and it now runs on hundreds of sportsbooks. One round lasts about 20 seconds. A plane climbs, a multiplier counts up from 1.00x, and at a point already fixed before the round began, it flies off. Cash out first and you keep your stake times the multiplier. Do not, and you lose the stake.

The whole game in four steps

• You place a stake in the betting window, before the round starts.
• The plane takes off and the multiplier climbs from 1.00x.
• You press cash out whenever you like. Your return is stake times the multiplier at that instant.
• If the plane leaves before you press it, the stake is gone.

That is the entire game. There is no skill element, no hidden mechanic, and nothing to learn beyond the interface. What varies between operators is the minimum stake, the payment method and how fast withdrawals land, not the game.

Two features worth understanding

Auto cash out

You set a multiplier in advance and the game cashes out for you when it is reached. This removes reaction time from the equation. It does not improve your return, because expected return is the same at every multiplier, but it does stop you freezing.

Two bets at once

Aviator lets you run two stakes on the same round, usually with one set to auto cash out early and one left running. This is often sold as a strategy. It is two bets, and two bets return 97% of their combined stake exactly as one bet returns 97%.

Result decided

before the round starts, and published as a hash

The provably fair mechanism is the real difference. A slot asks you to trust the operator. Aviator publishes a commitment to the result before the round runs, so you can check afterwards that nothing was changed. That is also the reason no predictor can work.
