Aviator Glossary: Every Term You Need to Know

Understanding Aviator terminology is the first step toward making informed decisions. This glossary covers every term you'll encounter when playing the Aviator crash game, reading strategy guides, or evaluating casino bonuses. Each definition includes practical context specific to crash game play.

A

Auto-Cashout
A feature that automatically cashes out your bet at a pre-set multiplier. Removes emotional decision-making from the game. Most experienced players set auto-cashout between 1.2x and 2.0x for their safety bet.

B

Bankroll
The total amount of money a player has set aside specifically for gambling. Professional advice suggests bringing no more than 5% of your total bankroll to any single session.

C

Cash Out
The act of collecting your winnings at the current multiplier before the plane crashes. Your payout equals your bet multiplied by the cash-out multiplier.
Client Seed
A random value generated on the player's device, used as part of the Provably Fair verification system. Combined with the server seed and nonce to determine the round outcome.
Crash Point
The multiplier at which the Aviator plane flies away and the round ends. Any uncashed bets at this point are lost. Crash points range from 1.00x to theoretically infinite.

D

Dual Bet
Aviator allows placing two simultaneous bets per round. A common strategy uses one as a safe bet (auto-cashout at 1.5x) and one as a risk bet (manual cash-out targeting higher multipliers).

H

House Edge
The statistical advantage the casino holds over players, typically around 3% in Aviator. This means for every $100 wagered collectively, the casino retains roughly $3 in profit long-term.

M

Martingale
A betting strategy where you double your stake after each loss. Mathematically proven to be risky due to exponential bet growth. A 7-loss streak turns $1 into a $128 required bet.
Multiplier
The increasing number displayed as the Aviator plane ascends. Your potential payout is your bet times this number. The multiplier starts at 1.00x and increases until the random crash point.

N

Nonce
A sequential counter used in Provably Fair systems. Incremented with each bet, ensuring unique outcomes even with the same server and client seeds.

P

Provably Fair
A cryptographic system that allows players to independently verify that game outcomes were not manipulated. Uses SHA-256 hashing to commit results before bets are placed.

R

RTP (Return to Player)
The theoretical percentage of wagered money returned to players over time. Aviator's RTP is approximately 97%, meaning for every $100 wagered, $97 is returned on average.

S

SHA-256
The cryptographic hash function used in Aviator's Provably Fair system. Converts input data into a fixed 64-character hexadecimal string. Computationally infeasible to reverse.
Server Seed
A secret value generated by the game server before each round. Hashed and shared publicly before bets close, then revealed after the round for verification purposes.
Session Bankroll
The specific amount allocated for a single gaming session, typically 10-20% of total bankroll. Once depleted, the session ends regardless of outcomes.
Spribe
The software company that developed the original Aviator game in 2019. Based in Georgia, Spribe holds licenses from multiple regulatory bodies and their games are certified by independent testing labs.
Stop-Loss
A pre-determined loss limit for a gaming session. When reached, the player stops playing. Professional recommendation: set stop-loss at 50% of session bankroll.

V

Variance
The statistical measure of how much actual results deviate from expected results in the short term. High variance means bigger swings — both wins and losses occur in streaks.
Volatility
How dramatically and frequently the outcomes swing. Aviator is considered medium-high volatility: frequent small wins are possible, but large multipliers are rare.

W

Wagering Requirement
The number of times a bonus must be bet before winnings can be withdrawn. A 30x wagering requirement on a $100 bonus means you must bet $3,000 total before cashing out.
