Crash & arcade games online casino guide

Crash and arcade games are often simpler visually than table games but can resolve very quickly, which can increase the pace of wagering.

How to play

Rules vary by title; in a typical crash game, place a wager and cash out before a rising multiplier ends or “crashes”.

  1. Open the rules and confirm whether the game is a crash, mines, plinko or other arcade format.
  2. Place the wager and any game-specific selections.
  3. Start or join the round.
  4. Use the available cash-out/selection mechanic before the losing condition occurs.
  5. Check the history only as a record; it does not make a future multiplier predictable.

How to compare crash & arcade games games

Start with the rules rather than the artwork or game title. Two crash & arcade games games can look nearly identical while using different pay tables, wager limits, side bets, dealer rules, bonus features or return-to-player settings. Open the help screen for the exact title you intend to play and compare it with the key rules summarized on this page. If a casino offers several versions, treat each version as a separate ruleset until you have confirmed otherwise.

Game availability also depends on the operator and your location. Use the related operator and province pages as discovery tools, then verify the exact game catalogue on the regulated operator site before registering or depositing.
