Games like Aviator: the crash-game family, compared
Aviator didn't just create the crash-game genre — it spawned a whole family of "bet, watch a multiplier rise, cash out before it crashes" games from rival studios. Some are near-clones, some add a real twist, and a couple predate Aviator itself. This hub compares all of them; each game gets its own detail page (linked below) with the full breakdown.
What makes a crash game "like Aviator"
Every game on this list shares the same core loop: you bet before a round, a multiplier rises during it, and you cash out before the round ends (the "crash") to bank bet × multiplier. The differences are in theme, mechanics (single bet vs two, partial cash-out, bonus multipliers) and provider. RTP sits near 97% for almost all of them — crash is one of the most generous genres in casino.

JetX
The closest cousin to Aviator: a jet instead of the red plane, the exact same bet-and-cash-out cycle, and it shipped a year before Aviator. A genuine crash-game classic.
Twist: The original rival — two bets and a space-age look
Spaceman
A crash game from a tier-one studio: a floating astronaut rises while you decide. The standout feature is a 50% partial cash-out — bank half, let the rest ride.
Twist: Partial 50% cash-out button
Lucky Jet
The in-house crash game of 1win. A jetpack hero rises instead of a plane — almost identical to Aviator in feel, exclusive to the 1win ecosystem.
Twist: 1win-exclusive, "Lucky Joe" jetpack hero
Aviatrix
The genre with a twist: you build and collect your own plane. Won the SiGMA 2023 Best New Casino Game award and adds a progression layer on top of the crash loop.
Twist: Customisable, collectible NFT planes
Aviamasters
The most different on this list: navigate then fly, grab bonus multipliers mid-air and dodge rockets that halve your gain. A 2024 fresh take on crash.
Twist: Interactive flight, bonus multipliers, rocket obstacles, max 250×
Balloons
Made by Spribe — the same studio behind Aviator. You inflate a balloon instead of flying a plane; the single-player crash game many call "Aviator 2".
Twist: Spribe's own single-player crash
JetX: the original rival
JetX by SmartSoft Gaming actually shipped in 2018, a year before Aviator — making it arguably the true original. A jet rises instead of a red plane, the bet-and-cash-out cycle is almost identical, and it remains hugely popular. If you love Aviator, JetX is the closest sibling.
Spaceman: the partial-cash-out pioneer
Spaceman by Pragmatic Play (2022) is the tier-one studio's entry in the genre — a floating astronaut, polished graphics, and the standout feature: a 50% partial cash-out. Bank half your bet at a safe multiplier and let the rest ride for a big one. A genuine mechanical innovation.
Lucky Jet: 1win's in-house crash
Lucky Jet by 1win Games (2021) is exclusive to the 1win ecosystem. A jetpack hero rises instead of a plane — almost identical in feel to Aviator, but only playable at 1win-affiliated properties.
Aviatrix: crash with progression
Aviatrix (2022) adds a meta-layer: you build, customise and collect your own NFT planes. Same crash loop underneath, but with a progression system on top — it won the SiGMA 2023 Best New Casino Game award.
Aviamasters: the 2024 twist
Aviamasters by BGaming (2024) is the most different on this list — interactive flight, mid-air bonus multipliers, rocket obstacles that halve your gain, capped at 250×. A genuinely fresh take on the crash formula.
Balloons: Spribe's own single-player crash
Balloons by Spribe (2024) is made by the same studio behind Aviator. You inflate a balloon instead of flying a plane — single-player crash that many players call "Aviator 2", though it is officially a separate game.
Aviator vs the alternatives: which should you play?
- Want the exact same feel: JetX or Lucky Jet.
- Want a smarter cash-out: Spaceman (50% partial).
- Want progression/customisation: Aviatrix.
- Want something genuinely new: Aviamasters.
- Want Spribe's latest: Balloons.
All of them run on the same broad maths — high volatility, RTP around 96.5–97.4%, no skill in predicting the crash. Pick the theme and mechanic that excite you; the odds are similar.
A note on "Aviator 2"
Players often ask if there is an "Aviator 2". Spribe has not released a sequel to Aviator — the closest is Balloons, made by the same studio with single-player crash mechanics. Everything labelled "Aviator 2" as a separate app or APK is unofficial and often a scam; the real follow-up content is the crash-genre family on this page.
