Aviamasters has been live since July 2024, and plenty of readers arrive here with assumptions imported from other crash titles. The usual mental model runs: place a bet, watch a curve climb, hit the cash-out button at the right moment. That model does not apply to this game at all. BGaming built the round so that it always plays itself out — there is no manual cash-out control anywhere in the interface, and the outcome is written only when the plane lands. This single design decision changes everything about how a session feels, and it is also the reason searches for aviamasters how to play are full of answers describing a different game. Here is the real sequence, taken from the provider's official rules and game page rather than from promo retellings.

Three numbers open every round

Before anything flies, a wager has to exist. You set it in the bet field, and that single figure does all the scaling for the round: nothing else about the payouts is adjustable mid-flight, so the wager is your one risk knob. The second number lives above the aircraft. It is called the Counter Balance, and the official description is blunt: it starts equal to your bet sum and changes as the plane meets objects on its path. The third number is implied by the rules rather than displayed as a headline — the round always opens at x1.0, which is exactly what a counter equal to your bet means.

The important consequence hides in that setup. Because the counter begins at your wager, it is not a winnings meter that fills up from zero; it is the round's entire payout, present from second one and only re-shaped during the flight. Players who expect to watch earnings accumulate separately from risk tend to misread the first few sessions.

What the plane picks up in the air

Two families of collectibles drift through every flight. Numbers without the multiplication sign add themselves to the counter, and they come in four sizes: +1, +2, +5 and +10. Multipliers carry the sign and multiply whatever the counter currently holds: x2, x3, x4 and x5. Every positive pick-up also nudges the flight path upward, which visibly buys the plane clearance above the water line.

On top of that routine traffic, the game celebrates certain thresholds with full-screen notices. Single-round totals of x20, x40 and x80 trigger pop-ups labelled Big, Mega and Super Mega. They are theatre, not rules: no payout structure changes when they appear, and the counter was already doing the accounting that made them fire. One useful habit from the live indicators panel — altitude, distance and the running counter are all on screen — is to read the counter, not the confetti, when you are trying to understand a round.

Event	Effect on the counter	Values
Number without the x sign	adds	+1, +2, +5, +10
Multiplier with the x sign	multiplies	x2, x3, x4, x5
Threshold pop-ups	mark the round total	x20 Big, x40 Mega, x80 Super Mega

A rocket halves things, it does not end things

Rockets appear randomly in every round, and hitting one produces two distinct effects. The first is financial: the counter is divided by two, and the display updates in the same beat as the explosion. The rulebook states it flatly — a rocket divides the current multiplier in half. The second effect is geometric: the trajectory knocks downward, the plane drops closer to the water, and the usable remainder of the flight shrinks.

Nothing else happens. The round continues. The plane can pick up boosts afterward, catch a multiplier, even absorb another rocket — and still land with a respectable counter. This is the sharpest difference between Aviamasters and the crash games most people know: there, a catastrophic event and the end of the round are the same moment. Here they are deliberately separated, which is also why the game's declared low volatility holds up better than newcomers expect.

The landing writes the payout

Only two endings exist. Landing on the aircraft carrier applies the entire end-of-round Counter Balance to your overall balance; hitting the water forfeits the bet, counter and all. The rules put it in one sentence, and we keep it in this article because it compresses the whole game: if the plane lands on the ship, not falls into the water, it is a win.

Two boundary figures from the specifications frame the distribution: the maximum multiplier is x250 and the maximum win is capped at EUR 250,000 at the top bet. Between those extremes, the counter is a live number under constant pressure — boosts push it up, rockets push it down, and the landing takes the final answer as-is. There is no intermediate bookkeeping, no partial collection, no way to lock anything before the carrier.

Two housekeeping clauses from the same rulebook matter for session planning. Unfinished rounds terminate every 24 hours, so a dropped connection does not strand a bet in limbo forever. And a standard malfunction clause voids affected plays and pays, which is worth knowing before a dispute rather than during one.

Pacing: speeds and autoplay

The flight speed is the one setting you may change mid-round. Four buttons cover the range — a tortoise, a man, a hare and a lightning bolt — with speed 2 selected by default. Slower settings stretch the animation so each pick-up is easy to read; faster settings compress the same flight into a tighter slot of time. What they do not change is the flight itself: the events of the round are set in motion the same way regardless of pace.

Autoplay is where the round control actually lives. The Auto button lets you queue a chosen number of rounds and attaches stop conditions from the rulebook: stop on any win, stop when a single win exceeds a value you set, stop when the cash balance increases by a value, stop when it decreases by one. For a first session, a sane configuration is a low wager, manual rounds, and no autoplay until you have watched how often rockets actually appear across a few dozen landings.

Before the first real bet

The honest accounting: a declared 97% is a long-run expectation, not a promise about your evening. Tracked live figures over seven-day windows have sat below the declared number — 93.85% at the time we checked the provider's players hub — and the gap is ordinary behaviour for a game whose payout distribution is top-heavy with rare large wins. We have a separate breakdown of what the real RTP is and why a window of a few thousand rounds can read below the label without anything being broken.

What genuinely does not exist is player control after the launch. There is no timing skill, no "safe moment" to aim for, no reaction that saves a counter from a rocket. All decisions belong to setup: wager, speed, autoplay limits, session budget. Any page selling a trick against the rocket mechanic is selling an interface that does not exist.

On the trust side, the basics are in order: BGaming's studio operates under an MGA B2B critical supply licence (MGA/B2B/785/2020), the title ships to operators from that certified base, and the game picked up a Best Casino Game award at SiGMA Europe Awards 2025 along the way. None of that changes your expectations of a session; it just tells you the supplier is a real, licensed developer rather than a skin on someone else's product.

The practical path looks like this: see the round without money first — the demo mode runs the identical rules on a virtual balance — then take one calm session at a minimum stake if the mechanics sit well with you. Keep the age line in mind, keep the budget to money you can lose without changing your month, and treat the lack of a cash-out button as the game's clearest warning: this round answers to the flight path, not to your reflexes.
