What is the crash point in a crash game?
The crash point is the multiplier at which a crash round ends. Any stake not cashed out by then is lost. The game's random number generator fixes it before the multiplier starts to climb, so the animation only reveals a value that already exists.
Definition
In a crash game a multiplier rises from 1.00x until it stops. The value where it stops is the crash point. A player who cashed out at a lower multiplier is paid at that multiplier, and a player still in the round loses the stake.
The crash point is decided by a random number generator before the climb is displayed. The rising number on the screen is a presentation of a result that already exists.
How its chances are set
In the commonly described model, the chance that the crash point is at least t is (1 − h)/t, where h is the house margin and t is 1 or more. Higher crash points are therefore rarer, and the chance falls in proportion to the multiplier.
With a 3% margin, the chance of a crash point of at least 2.00x is 0.97/2 = 48.5%, and of at least 10.00x is 0.97/10 = 9.7%. The 3% is chosen for the example only and is not the rule of any real game.
Multiplying the chance by the payout gives 0.97 at every target, which is why no cash-out choice changes the expected value. The guide on auto cashout shows the same working.
What a player can and cannot affect
A player chooses only when to leave, never where the round ends. Past crash points carry no information about the next one if rounds are independent, and a run of low values is not a signal. Some games let the player check a round afterwards, as the guide on seeds and hashes explains.
What Kenyan rules say
Regulation 45(1) requires the game rules to be clearly displayed before any wager is placed. Regulation 45(2) requires the random number generator used for games of chance to be certified to test randomness and theoretical return to player. Gambling is addictive; play responsibly.
Questions and answers
Can a player see or predict the crash point?
No. It is produced by the random number generator before the round is shown, and earlier crash points do not change the chance of the next one. A player controls only the multiplier at which to cash out.
Is the crash point the same as the maximum multiplier?
No. The crash point is the result of one round. A maximum multiplier, where a game has one, is a ceiling that applies to every round.
Where do the rules of a crash game have to be shown?
Regulation 45(1) of the 2026 Conduct of Gambling Operations Regulations requires an online operator to display the game rules clearly before any wager is placed. Regulation 45(2) requires the random number generator to be certified to test randomness and theoretical return to player.
