What is a multiplier in a crash game?
In a crash game, the multiplier is the number that climbs from 1x while a round runs. If you cash out at a given multiplier, your payout is your stake times that number. If the round crashes before you cash out, the bet is lost and the multiplier pays nothing.

A multiplier in a crash game is the number that rises from 1x while a round runs. It tells you how many times your stake you would get back if you cashed out at that instant. When the round crashes, the multiplier stops, and any bet still open is lost.
How the multiplier sets your payout
Spribe's rules for Aviator state that your win is your bet multiplied by the Cash Out multiplier. The multiplier starts at 1x and grows as the plane takes off. Cashing out is the step that fixes the number, as defined in what cash out means in a crash game.
The payout includes your stake. Your profit is the payout minus the stake.
Illustrative example: you stake KES 100 and cash out at 2.50x. The payout is KES 100 times 2.50, which is KES 250, and your profit on the round is KES 150. If the round had crashed at 2.40x before you cashed out, the KES 100 would have been lost.
What the crash multiplier means
The crash multiplier is the value at which the round ends. Spribe's rules explain that a crash at 1.25x means the multiplier reached 1.24x and then crashed. An Auto Cash Out set at exactly the crash multiplier therefore counts as a loss.
Why higher multipliers are rarer
A higher multiplier pays more because fewer rounds reach it. In the standard crash model with a 97% return to player, a round reaches 2x in 48.5% of rounds, 10x in 9.7% and 100x in 0.97%. Other values are worked out in the probability of reaching any multiplier, and the crash multiplier calculator gives the chance for any cash-out you type in.
Spribe states that Aviator's return to player is 97%. That figure is a long-run average across all bets, not a forecast for one session.
Questions and answers
Does the multiplier include my stake?
Yes. The payout is the stake times the multiplier, so the stake is part of it. Your profit is the payout minus the stake. A cash-out only slightly above 1x therefore returns little more than the amount you bet, while a round that crashes before you cash out returns nothing at all.
Does a higher cash-out multiplier give better value?
No. Under the standard crash model the chance of reaching a multiplier falls in step with its size, so every target has the same expected return: 97% of the stake at a 97% return to player. A higher target pays more when it lands and lands less often. Only the swings between wins and losses change.
