Crash Game Glossary

A betting progression that increases the stake after a win and returns to base bet after a loss — the inverse of Martingale, designed to ride winning streaks while capping downside to single base-bet losses.

A feature that automatically places your bet and optionally cashes out at a pre-set multiplier for every round, without requiring manual input between rounds.

The total amount of money you have allocated for a gambling session or period — distinct from your total finances and never more than you can afford to lose.

The fixed unit stake used as the reference point in betting strategies — the amount wagered on a neutral round, before any progressive increases or decreases are applied.

When the multiplier crashes before you cash out, causing you to lose your entire bet for that round.

The action of securing your payout at the current multiplier before the crash occurs.

The specific multiplier value at which a crash game round ends — the point at which the multiplier stops rising and all players who have not cashed out lose their bets.

The average outcome per bet calculated across an infinite number of rounds — the mathematical return you expect to receive per unit wagered, accounting for all possible outcomes and their probabilities.

A one-way mathematical function that converts any input into a fixed-length output — used in provably fair crash games to commit the crash point before the round without revealing the underlying seed.

The percentage of rounds in which the crash multiplier reaches or exceeds a specific target — your win rate at a given cash-out target.

The percentage of every bet the casino retains on average — the mathematical advantage built into the game's RNG that ensures long-run profitability for the operator.

A betting progression strategy where you double your bet after every loss and reset to your base bet after every win — designed to recover all previous losses with a single win.

The rising number in a crash game that determines your payout. If you bet $10 and cash out at 3.50x, you receive $35.

A cryptographic system that lets players independently verify that a crash game's outcome was not manipulated — the crash point was committed to before the round began.

The algorithm that produces the unpredictable numbers used to determine crash points — in provably fair systems, the RNG output is derived from cryptographic seeds rather than pseudo-random software alone.

The percentage of total wagered money a crash game returns to players over an infinite number of rounds — the inverse of the house edge.

A random value used as the input to a crash game's RNG — the server seed determines the crash point, and the hash of that seed is shown to players before the round begins.

A defined period of play with pre-set boundaries — a specific bankroll allocation, time limit, loss limit, and win target — treated as a single, complete unit of gambling activity.

A pre-set boundary on a gambling session — a loss limit, win target, time cap, or round count — that triggers an automatic or self-enforced stop when reached.

The statistical measure of how much actual results deviate from the expected value — in crash games, high variance means long losing streaks and occasional large wins; low variance means frequent small wins and smaller swings.

A measure of how spread out crash game outcomes are — high volatility means large swings between winning and losing sessions; low volatility means results cluster closer to the average.
