Many people ask how to play the "#Airplane Game", let's take a moment to explain the development of the Crash game.
🔴The appearance of Fair Crash dates back to MoneyPot in 2014. The initial gameplay was very simple: ✅ A continuously rising curve represents the multiplier, and players place their bets and cash out before the crash to earn their principal multiplied by the rate; however, if it crashes, those who didn't cash out lose everything.
This "multiplier rises until a sudden crash" mechanism quickly became popular in the crypto geek community. 🔴Later, developers improved on MoneyPot to create Bustabit, integrating social elements such as multiple players betting at the same time, chat rooms, leaderboards, and a public crash line.
The mechanism of Crash was successful because it combines two psychological stimuli: random odds and active decision-making. The game design uses a "provably fair" mechanism, which ensures the results can be verified through hash seeds to avoid suspicions of backend manipulation, hence the name Fair Crash.
Later, game developers also realized that the key to Crash games is not the algorithm, but the "rhythm" of the visuals: the speed of the multiplier increase, the tension of the animations, etc., all stimulate the player's psychology. Thus, this seemingly simple mechanism gradually evolved into different visual languages.
🔴By 2018, the well-known Aviator (Airplane Game, Pilot) made its debut. It replaced the curve with a rising airplane: the airplane represents the rising multiplier. This graphical translation made the game more like a "psychological contest": the higher the plane flies, the more you win, but the riskier it becomes.
It also incorporated multiplayer elements—players can see when others cash out and how much they win, with a leaderboard that updates in real time. This "transparent competition" scenario has been proven to greatly enhance participation: seeing someone else cash out at 10x can trigger FOMO, making you want to take a risk.
🔴Online gambling quickly incorporated the airplane game into "light" traffic-generating mini-games. Data also shows that the duration and replay rate of these games are even higher than traditional slot machines. Naturally, more variants followed, with developers trying "reskinning" strategies—using the same multiplier mechanism but with different visual metaphors: rockets taking off, balloons floating, race cars sprinting, rocket launches, submarines diving.
Meanwhile, developers and platforms continuously added features: such as lucky bonuses, random treasure boxes, social tipping... extending player engagement and betting frequency.
From MoneyPot to Bustabit, to Aviator and various other variants, the evolution of Crash has reshaped players' perception of "gambling": not sitting at a gambling table comparing points, but actively deciding when to stop profiting.
This proactivity creates an illusion of control for players and has allowed platforms to find a new generation of "socially stimulating" profit models. Today, whether it's blockchain casinos, online gambling apps, or emerging gambling platforms, the influence of Crash continues to expand.
