‘Crash’ games differ from standard slots, where the outcome is hidden from the player. Instead of spinning reels, these games use a multiplier that can increase throughout the round. The player must select their stake and press the ‘Cash Out’ button before the game finalises the results. However, it is important to remember that no strategy can guarantee the outcome of the next round; therefore, essentially, the most important factors for any particular game are the rules of the game and your own bankroll management.
What are ‘crash’ games?
‘Crash’ games are a type of fast-paced game in which you have to decide at which point on the multiplier curve you want to stop.
In a classic crash game, the round begins once a bet has been placed. An object then appears — for example, an aeroplane, a rocket or another character — and the multiplier rises slowly. Before the round ends, the player has the option to cash out, provided the game supports this feature.
For example, with a stake of 100 rupees, a multiplier of 2.00x means a payout of 200 rupees if the round ends successfully. The potential win would be 350 rupees at a multiplier of 3.50x. However, the multiplier may stop earlier, so you do not know its maximum value in advance.
It is particularly convenient that, for Indian users, the stake and balance are displayed in rupees. Depending on the specific site, UPI, Paytm, PhonePe, Visa, Mastercard and bank transfers may be available. Please note any messages stating that topping up your account using a particular payment method is not possible, or that there are restrictions or fees.
Tower Rush: what is it and what is the aim of the game?
Tower Rush app is a ‘crash’ game from Galaxsys that features an unusual tower-building mechanic. It is not a classic slot with reels and paylines. The player starts a round by placing a bet, presses the ‘Build’ button, and a new floor is added to the tower. Successfully completing a stage increases the current multiplier.
After each round, you have to make a crucial decision: whether to continue building or cash out your winnings. When you cash out, the current multiplier is multiplied by the stake amount. If the tower collapses before this happens, the round ends in accordance with the game’s rules.
For example, a stake of 200 rupees with a current multiplier of 2.50x will result in a payout of 500 rupees if you cash out. If, however, you decide to continue building, the potential multiplier will increase, but so will the risk of losing your stake at the end of the round.
How to choose a ‘crash’ game
- Familiarise yourself with the rules. Odds can vary, and the requirements for ending a round may differ across various ‘crash’ games. Read the rules first so that you know exactly when you can withdraw your funds.
- Play in demo mode. In the free version, you can familiarise yourself with the controls, bets, odds and the ‘Withdraw’ function without risking your real balance. This is a great way to get to grips with the gameplay before moving on to playing for real money.
- Pay attention to the betting limits. The minimum stake should suit your budget. It’s particularly useful to have low minimum stakes for a few trial rounds.
- Try the mobile version. On your mobile screen, you should be able to clearly see the ‘Build’ and ‘Cash Out’ buttons, as well as the betting section. A well-designed user interface minimises accidental taps.
- Familiarise yourself with the platform’s policies. As well as the game itself, the rules for depositing and withdrawing funds are also important. UPI, Paytm, bank cards and other methods have different limits and processing times.
- Check the game’s fairness. Some ‘crash’ games (for example, those using RNG or ‘proof-of-fairness’ methods) allow you to see how results are generated. Whilst this does not enable you to predict future outcomes, it does give you a better understanding of how the game works.
How to play more sensibly
- It is impossible to place a risk-free bet in any round of ‘Crash’. Rounds are independent of one another, and the outcome of a previous round does not affect the next one; therefore, looking for a ‘safe’ multiplier or a specific pattern between rounds may lead you to increase your stake without good reason.
- Place moderate bets. Your stake should be small enough that you can maintain self-control during a losing streak without feeling the need to chase your losses. This is particularly important in games where many rounds take place in a short space of time.
- Stop when you realise it’s necessary. You can set a maximum number of bets or rounds in advance, and when you reach that limit, stop playing. From a probabilistic point of view, this won’t help you win more, but it will protect you from making emotional decisions.
- Don’t try to recoup your losses. Don’t thoughtlessly increase your next stake after a loss. You don’t have to win just because the previous round was a loss.
- Try the demo version to familiarise yourself with the game. If you’re not familiar with the game, a few practice rounds will help you get used to the controls and the pace of the game. Don’t place bets based on what you think will happen in the next round. The history of previous odds might be, I don’t know, very interesting, but it certainly won’t help you predict what will happen next — that much is certain. ‘Crash’-style games are based purely on luck.
