Insights into proprietary i-gambling operator data shared in the latest SevenJackpots crash game industry report reveal that the new category of games is already attracting notable shares of the active user base of online casinos.
“The most popular crash games are chosen by 6.53% of active players, based on data covering 1 January to 1 November 2022. This may seem like a small share, yet we are considering a selection of over 5500 games offered by the operator,” comments Svilen Madjov, industry researcher at SevenJackpots.
The emerging game studio Spribe which produced Aviator – the “market star” of the innovative casino gaming trend, together with Plinko, Mines, and a number of other now popular crash games, shot up their foothold on unique active casino users nearly fivefold, from 0.44% to 2.79%, over the course of the first ten months of 2022.
Just the month of August saw a 194% hike in active users (from 0.95% to 2.79%), which sent products by Spribe into a new orbit.
The research team at SevenJackpots also make use of publicly available industry statistic tools such as Google Trends and Mangools’ KWFinder to verify their findings and confirm that the strong upward trends continue beyond the time scope of the proprietary datasets at hand.
Among the most interesting insights is the check on Google Trends on searches for ways to “hack” the Aviator game, showing continuous growths and more popularity spikes after August.
“Real-money players are often eager to get some help with winning, possibly from an AI, an app, or the like. And it is no surprise to see the growth in demand for “hacks” and “predictors” for Aviator, the hit title of the season,” the researchers comment.
Crash Games Have the Potential for More
If the trends continue, seeing Aviator and the other innovative crash games outrank all time casino classics like roulette and blackjack, and become the most popular games played at online casinos will not be a surprise either, as crash games are apparently just starting to release their full potential.
In a recent episode of the SevenJackpots podcast, industry researcher Svilen Madjov dives into why and how crash games became attractive by distinguishing themselves from “normal non-choice casino games”.
“Biggest factor for me, what makes them different from the other games is that you do have a choice and it’s really good to have a choice. You don’t spin the roulette wheel, you don’t deal the cards, and with these games you do have a choice and it puts back control to a certain extent in your hands” he says.
Crash games, which originated in crypto casinos and blockchain technology before entering mainstream i-gambling venues, enable the player in more ways than through gameplay.
Users can go back and check game history at any point of their online gaming journey and verify the fairness of all played rounds.
The “provably fair technology” employed by cash or crash games combines a server seed with a seed generated by the player device, hashes it in SHA512 encryption, and uses it for transparent random number generation.
This open mode of dealing with RNG outcomes may soon set the new standards for transparency in the online casino industry shooting crash games even more to the front.
