Aviator Basics
Aviator is a crash game built by Spribe, a studio founded in Tbilisi in August 2018. CEO David Natroshvili launched the game in January 2019. The first live operator, Adjarable, went live in February 2019. Spribe released Aviator 2.0 on 15 August 2019.
This update made the game 40% faster, lighter for slow connections, and added a redesigned mobile UI with chat, emojis, GIFs, and the Rain feature.

Spribe calls Aviator a social multiplayer game. It is not a slot machine. There are no reels, paylines, or bonus rounds. The entire game is one curve that rises and crashes. Each round lasts roughly 8 to 30 seconds.
Operators run 60 to 90 rounds per hour.
The return to player is 97%. The house edge is 3%. The crash point uses provably fair technology. Before each round, the server publishes a SHA-256 hash. Player client seeds combine with this hash. The crash point is fixed before the plane leaves the runway.
After the round, inputs reveal for checking in the in-game tool.
| Multiplier target | Probability of reaching | Expected rounds to hit |
|---|---|---|
| 1.2x | 80.8% | 1 in 1.2 |
| 1.5x | 64.7% | 1 in 1.5 |
| 2x | 48.5% | 1 in 2.1 |
| 5x | 19.4% | 1 in 5.2 |
| 10x | 9.7% | 1 in 10.3 |
| 100x | 0.97% | 1 in 103 |
About 3% of rounds crash instantly at 1.00x. That is roughly 1 in 33 rounds. The expected value stays minus 3% of the stake at every target.
Two Bets and Auto Cash-Out
The interface shows two bet panels per round. You can place one bet or both. Each panel has its own cash-out button. You can cash out Bet 1 at 1.5x and let Bet 2 ride to 10x. This split is common among regular players.
Each panel has Bet and Auto tabs. Auto Cash-Out lets you preset a multiplier. When the plane reaches that number, the game cashes out automatically. Auto Bet runs for 10 to 100 rounds with stop-on-win and stop-on-loss settings.
The live bets panel shows All Bets, My Bets, and a Top leaderboard with daily, monthly and all-time wins. A round history strip sits below the plane. In-game chat and the Provably Fair badge complete the screen.
- Open the Aviator game at a licensed operator.
- Set your stake in Bet Panel 1 or both panels.
- Click the Auto tab to set your target multiplier.
- Enable Auto Cash-Out or keep manual control.
- Watch the plane rise and hit cash-out before the crash.
Social tools add extra value. Rain drops free bets into chat. The first players to tap claim get them. Operators grant Free Bets individually, in batches, or by API. Tournaments and races use leaderboards.
Demo mode needs no registration and runs on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers. It is built for low bandwidth and budget devices.
| Social feature | How it works | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Rain | Free bets drop into chat, first to tap claim | All operators |
| Free Bets | Granted individually, in batches, or by API | Operator discretion |
| Tournaments | Leaderboard races with prizes | Selected operators |
| Aviator Missions | Weekly pool missions (e.g., SportyBet Nigeria 4,000,000 NGN) | SportyBet Nigeria |

Bankroll Limits
Smart bankroll management protects your money over long sessions. The 3% house edge means expected value is negative on every bet. No strategy removes this edge.
Guide consensus suggests auto cash-out between 1.5x and 2x. A two-bet split works well: one bet leaves early, one rides to 5x-10x. Realistic long targets sit at 5x-50x. Risk no more than 2% of your bankroll per round.
Set loss limits and win limits before you start. Begin in demo mode.
- Guide consensus: auto cash-out between 1.5x and 2x
- Two-bet split strategy: one early exit, one ride to 5x-10x
- Realistic long targets: 5x-50x
- Risk no more than 2% of bankroll per round
| Strategy | Stakes after 10 losses | Risk level |
|---|---|---|
| Martingale | 1,024x base stake | Very high |
| Fibonacci | 1,376x base stake cumulative | High |
| D’Alembert | Base + 10 steps | Moderate |
| Flat betting 2% | Unchanged | Controlled |
Martingale doubles the stake after each loss. After 10 losses, you bet 1,024 times your base stake. Fibonacci and D’Alembert also fail to beat the 3% edge. Rounds are independent. Patterns and charts do not change the odds.
