Crash games: the shortest round in the house

The stake is fixed before the start, the curve rises, and at some point it breaks off. Get out before that and you take the stake at the multiple reached; wait too long and you get nothing. That is the whole mechanic, and it is explained in half a minute.

The difference from other families lies not in the arithmetic but in the duration. A round at the live table takes minutes, a crash round seconds. Play for an hour and you make a multiple of the stakes here — and that shifts every plan for the evening.

A limit for the evening thought of in francs holds in every family. A limit thought of in rounds does not hold here: the same number of rounds means a fraction of the time in crash. Set yourself a time window rather than a round count and you make the more robust decision for this family.

Short rounds tempt you into small, frequent deposits, and small deposits are dear in bitcoin in proportion, because the network fee hangs on space taken up and not on the amount. In this family two things therefore meet unfavourably — one of the few places where the choice of game and the choice of payment route really do hang together.

The way out is the same as everywhere: a coin with a fixed low network fee or Lightning, where the cashier carries it. Set out on the fees page.

The network fee hangs on the space a transfer takes up and not on its size. For this family that means: Anyone playing here tends to deposit often and small — and every small deposit on the bitcoin main network costs a multiple, in proportion, of what a large one does. Lightning or a coin with a fixed low network fee is therefore not a detail here but the actual decision.

Think about that beforehand and you choose the route into the cashier differently from the route back out — and save at the only place where anything can be saved while playing at all. The sum stands on the fees page, the routes in proportion on the networks page.

Every family demands a different kind of limit. With crash it is the time window: ten minutes here produce more stakes than an hour at the live table, so a limit counted in rounds would be reached in moments.

That sounds obvious and is the place where the family actually makes a difference: a limit in francs holds in every family, a limit in rounds holds only where a round lasts roughly the same. More on that on the measured play page.

What stands on this page describes the family and not a particular title. Return figures stand only where a source comes with them, and systems or predictions appear for no family.
