If you’re a fan of Hotchip, you’re certainly no stranger to casino games. On the site we review and discuss a wide array of slots games and the like, all with their own unique themes and angles (sports, puzzle, retro etc), and features (nudges, free spins, progressive jackpots). Other online casino games that also have bricks and mortar equivalents such as roulette, blackjack, poker and so on are firm casino favourites here too.
One online casino game you may not have necessarily heard of though if you’re a casual casino goer or gambler is ‘crash gambling’, which are also known as crash games. In crash gambling the player is tasked with betting on a multiplier of their stake that starts at 1.00x and continues upwards until it eventually crashes. Essentially the idea, or hope, for the player is that he or she cashes out before the crash occurs. Like other casino games, there are themes, such as with Aviator where the multiplier and crash is signified by a small plane taking off and eventually crashing, adding to the suspence of it all.
Crash Games are games of chance on account that an algorithm randomly dictates when the multiplier increase stops and the crash occurs (also known as the crash point), as such they are not skill based, but that doesn’t take away from the excitement factor of deciding when to cash out (‘cashing out’ is also a common factor in inplay bets of course). People may of course adopt a crash gambling strategy, but due to its random nature, there may be an element of wishful thinking to it.
There are both real money and crypo bet crash game sites (for those with Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies), so anyone wanting to give it a go can do so. Some crash games even feature a social element, where there is live chat or a leaderboard, making people feel like they’re in it together as the watch the multiplier and the crash pan out.
When it comes to gambling online, your game of choice is very much an individual decision. It’s almost implied in the name that crash gambling is a high volatility game, but for some that’s part of the attraction with the risk and reward factor front and centre, and swings this way and that due to its random nature. For others betting on roulette in a more methodical nature might hold more appeal. With all that said, it’s undeniable that crash games are by their very nature exciting!
