Aviamasters: Play, RTP & Boosters

Aviamasters is a crash-style casino game from BGaming, released in 2024. The premise: you place a bet, press Play, and a cartoon aircraft flies a randomised path over open ocean. Along the way it collects flat bonuses (+1, +2, +5, +10) and multipliers (×2, ×3, ×4, ×5) that build a running Counter Balance shown above the plane. It also collides with rockets, which halve that balance each time. The round ends when the plane either lands on an aircraft carrier — in which case you collect the final counter — or crashes into the water, in which case the bet is lost.

BGaming built Aviamasters to feel like a casual mobile game rather than a traditional casino title, and the gamble paid off. It accumulated over a billion social impressions across 2024 and 2025, won Best Casino Game at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2025, and produced one of the most-streamed crash titles of the year. BGaming followed up with Aviamasters 2 on 5 March 2026, which kept the core mechanics while raising the maximum multiplier from 250× to 1,000× and adding four new booster symbols.

Important: there is no cash-out button. This is the single biggest difference from Aviator, Chicken Road, JetX and other classic crash games. Once you press Play in Aviamasters, the flight resolves automatically. All strategic decisions — stake size, speed setting, autoplay caps — happen before the round starts. This is a design choice to reduce the emotional trap of mistiming a cash-out, but it fundamentally changes how the game is played.

Because there is no mid-round decision, the game is actually simpler to play than a cash-out-based crash. Four choices before the round, one button to start.

1. Set your stake. Use the + and − buttons at the bottom. The standard range is AU$0.15 to AU$1,700 on the original; Aviamasters 2 is capped at a more conservative AU$0.15 to AU$400. An active welcome-bonus wagering period may cap the bet at AU$5.
2. Pick a speed mode. Slow, Medium, Fast or Ultra-Turbo. Speed changes how long the round takes, not the outcome probabilities. Slow is for learning; Ultra-Turbo is for disciplined high-volume sessions with autoplay.
3. Configure autoplay (optional). Set the number of rounds (usually up to 1,000), an upper single-win stop, a loss-limit stop, and a balance floor. Autoplay with stop conditions is the correct way to run long Aviamasters sessions — not manual play.
4. Press Spin. The plane takes off along a randomised path. The Counter Balance above the plane updates in real time as it collects symbols or hits rockets.
5. Wait for the outcome. Landing on the carrier pays your final counter times your stake. Landing in the water returns nothing. Special pop-ups celebrate Big (total ×20), Mega (×40) and Super Mega (×80) wins.

That is the entire interaction. No clicking during the round, no timing a cash-out. Your edge — if you can call it that — is pre-round discipline: stake sizing, speed selection, autoplay bounds.

Aviamasters has a small symbol vocabulary. The original uses four types (flats, multipliers, rockets, carrier landing). Aviamasters 2 adds four new boosters and the Safe Landing mode. Here is what each one does:

Safe Landing (Aviamasters 2 only). Pay 50× your base stake for one round and the plane is guaranteed to land safely — you collect whatever counter balance it built during the flight, regardless of whether it would have crashed. On a AU$1 bet Safe Landing costs AU$50 per round; the math only works if you expect the flight to produce meaningfully more than 50× in multipliers, which is uncommon but not impossible.

Both versions are available at most casinos. Which one to play comes down to whether you want the original's tighter ceiling and simpler mechanics, or the sequel's higher ceiling and extra booster depth. RTP and volatility are identical.

There is also a seasonal variant, Aviamasters X-mas, which swaps the plane for Santa's sleigh and the aircraft carrier for an ice floe. Mathematically identical to the original — same RTP, same volatility, same 250× ceiling. Some casinos keep it available year-round as an alternate skin.

Aviamasters has no mid-round decision, so strategy collapses into pre-round discipline. There is no timing trick, no reading of the plane's trajectory, no cash-out moment to get right. What you can control is stake, speed, autoplay bounds and when you stop.

Aviamasters sits alongside Aviator, Chicken Road, JetX and Plinko in the crash-game shelf, but its passive-round design separates it from most. The table below contrasts the major titles on RTP and on whether the player controls anything during the round.

If you want active decisions during the round, Aviator or Chicken Road is the choice. If you want an automated flight with pre-round discipline — or you have tried cash-out crashes and found yourself consistently clicking too early or too late — Aviamasters is the better fit.

BGaming publishes a full demo of both Aviamasters and Aviamasters 2 on its own site, and nearly every casino lobby exposes the same demo without requiring registration. Virtual credits, identical math, same symbol frequencies as real money — only the bankroll is fake.

Two specific uses for demo mode:

First, learn the symbol rhythm. Run 50 rounds on Slow speed and pay attention to the plane's flight paths. How often does it hit three rockets in a row? How often does a ×5 multiplier show up? These patterns are intuitively hard to describe — much easier to watch happen.

Second, test autoplay settings. Set a demo session with your intended real-money parameters and see how long the bankroll lasts. If it hits stop-on-loss within twenty rounds, your autoplay caps are too aggressive and need to be rethought before real money goes in.

What demo is not useful for is building statistical confidence. A streak of good rounds in demo has no bearing on real money — the RNG state resets every round. Players who "warm up" in demo before a real session tend to overbet, because the warm-up created false optimism.

Four checks before depositing anywhere that hosts Aviamasters:

1. The casino's licence. MGA, UKGC or Gibraltar are the strict regulators. Curaçao is more lenient. Unlicensed sites should be avoided regardless of how good the bonus looks.
2. Both versions available. A casino that only stocks the original Aviamasters is behind the curve — the sequel released in March 2026. A well-updated lobby has both side by side.
3. RTP visible in-game. Aviamasters runs at 97% as-certified. Some operators tune the RTP down on their hosted build. Confirm the figure inside the game info panel before committing.
4. Australian-dollar support. BGaming publishes Aviamasters with Euro caps by default (€250 – €250,000). Casinos serving Australian players should convert those to AU$ at reasonable rates rather than apply conversion fees every round.

Aviamasters is designed to feel like a casual mobile game — fast rounds, colourful animations, and autoplay that can run for a thousand rounds unattended. That is exactly why bankroll discipline matters more here than in slower-paced casino games. A 1,000-round autoplay at AU$1 per spin is AU$1,000 of exposure; it needs to be treated as such, not as "a few quick flights".

Set a deposit limit before your first real-money session. Use stop-on-loss on every autoplay, even the ones you are confident about.
