Spribe created Aviator, a game where players bet on how far and high a plane will fly. The governing principle of the game is simple: the higher up and the farther away the plane gets from the takeoff point, the steeper the payout multiplier becomes. Players can, of course, let it ride and see if it will go skyward, but what they don’t want to do is crash and burn on the bets.
The basics:
- Concept: Aviator is a web-based crash game. In it, the player makes a bet and then needs to gauge when an on-screen airplane will “fly off” into space, or crash.
- Interface: The interface is clean and unobtrusive. You follow the flight path of a plane as it takes off, represented by an ascending vertical graph.
Bets:
- Initial wager: The round starts when the plane begins to take off and then you need to predict when the plane will fly off the screen and cash out your bets before it does
- Multiplier: As the game is on and the plane is flying, the multiplier that will determine how much your initial bet will be returned to you, should you cash out.
Payments
- Withdrawal time: When you want to cash out, you need to do it before the little plane disappears from the screen. If you don’t, then it’s the same as if you had never played that round.
- Risk: The risk on Aviator is tied to the multiplier, which ultimately determines how much you get paid if your bet is correct.
