// SECTION 01
What Is Aviamasters?
Aviamasters is a casino game by BGaming, launched in 2024, that became one of the studio's biggest viral hits — over a billion impressions across streamer coverage and a SiGMA Europe Award the same year. The premise is unique: a small propeller plane takes off from an aircraft carrier, flies through a randomised path, collects multipliers, dodges (or fails to dodge) rockets, and either lands safely on another carrier — winning the round — or splashes into the water, losing the round.
BGaming themselves call Aviamasters a "burst game" — and that label matters. It sits between two categories: it has the visual rhythm and themed action of a crash game like Aviator, but the underlying mechanics are closer to a slot. The crucial difference (covered in Sections 02 and 03) is that there is no manual cashout. Once you press Play, the round plays out on its own. Most new players assume there's a cashout button somewhere — there isn't.
97%
RTP — among the highest of any BGaming title and well above the slot baseline (~96%).
x250
Maximum multiplier — capped at the operator's per-round payout limit.
Low
Volatility — quick rounds, frequent small wins, fewer extreme swings.
// NOTE
Aviamasters has a sequel, Aviamasters 2, with the same 97% RTP but a higher max multiplier (x1,000), four new "Booster" symbols, and a Safe Landing mode that guarantees a non-water landing for an extra cost. Most operators host the original; some host both. This guide focuses on the original Aviamasters; Aviamasters 2 is covered briefly in Section 09.
// SECTION 02
How to Play Aviamasters — Step by Step
// The full play loop, from launching the game to the plane landing:
Open Aviamasters from the casino lobby
Find it under "Crash Games", "Burst Games", or "Originals". Verify the provider tag reads "BGaming" — there are unlicensed clones of this title, but only the BGaming version has the published 97% RTP and provably-fair seed system.
Set your stake
The bet input typically accepts €0.10 minimum to €1,050 maximum (operator-dependent). Some platforms convert to local currency. Set this before the round starts.
Choose a game speed (optional)
Four speed modes: Turtle (slowest), Walk, Run, Lightning (fastest). Speed only changes how fast the animation plays — it does NOT change the outcome, RTP, or the path itself. Slow modes feel more dramatic; fast modes are for grinding sessions. You can switch speeds mid-flight.
Press Play
The plane takes off from the first aircraft carrier. The flight path is pre-generated by RNG at this moment — every multiplier, every rocket, every twist of the path is already determined. The animation you watch is a replay of a result that's already locked in.
Watch the Counter Balance change
As the plane flies, it collects multipliers (Counter Balance increases) and hits rockets (Counter Balance halves). The current Counter Balance is shown above the aircraft in real time. You see green pop-ups for multiplier hits and red pop-ups for rocket hits.
The plane lands — win or lose
If the plane lands on an aircraft carrier, the final Counter Balance is multiplied by your stake and credited to your balance — that's your win. If the plane runs out of altitude and splashes into the water, the round is lost and your stake is gone.
Repeat or stop
Each round is independent. Press Play again for another flight, or use auto-play (typically 10/20/50/100 rounds with stop-on-win and stop-on-loss thresholds). There's no round-to-round persistence.
// IMPORTANT
Critical: Aviamasters has NO MANUAL CASHOUT. The plane lands when it lands; you can't end the round early to lock in profits. Once you press Play, the result is committed by RNG and you watch it unfold. If you've played Aviator, JetX, or Spaceman before — Aviamasters is structurally different. Don't expect a Cash Out button; there isn't one.
// SECTION 03
Game Mechanics — Why Aviamasters Isn't a Crash Game
The defining feature of Aviamasters is what BGaming calls the "LAND!" mechanic. It's not a crash game, even though it looks like one. Understanding the difference is the difference between informed play and frustration.
- Pre-generated flight path
- When you press Play, the RNG immediately generates the full round: every multiplier the plane will pass, every rocket position, the final landing point. The visual animation you watch is a real-time replay of an outcome that's already locked. There's no live timing mechanic, no decision point during the flight, no way to influence the result.
- Why this matters psychologically
- Crash games like Aviator put pressure on the player: "cash out now or wait?". Every round is a high-stakes decision. Aviamasters removes that pressure — once you press Play, the round plays out and you're a spectator. For some players this is more relaxing; for others it's less engaging because the agency is removed. Both reactions are valid; the format is genuinely different.
- Why the RTP is comparable to crash games
- 97% RTP applies whether the game is decision-driven (Aviator) or pre-determined (Aviamasters). The math doesn't care about the player's experience of agency — it cares about the long-run distribution of outcomes. Aviamasters's RNG is calibrated to return 97% across millions of rounds, identical math to a 97% crash game.
- Speed modes don't change outcomes
- Some players assume that the slower speed modes give them "time to think" or "more multiplier hits". They don't. Speed only changes the playback rate of the pre-generated path. The same result plays at any speed. Lightning mode is just faster pacing for grinders.
// NOTE
If you came looking for the adrenaline of timing a cashout — Aviamasters won't deliver that. If you're tired of crash-game decision pressure and want a slower, watchable, slot-like experience that still has the visual punch of climbing multipliers, Aviamasters is the right pick. Match the format to your preference.
// SECTION 04
What Appears on the Flight Path
Three types of object can appear on the plane's path during a round. Two are positive (additive multipliers, multiplicative multipliers) and one is negative (rockets). The mix of these on a given path determines the round's outcome.
// POSITIVE
Additive multipliers
Add a flat value to your Counter Balance. A +5 hit on a Counter Balance of 3 makes it 8. These are the most common positive elements on the path.
// POSITIVE
Multiplicative multipliers
Multiply your current Counter Balance. A ×3 hit on a Counter Balance of 5 makes it 15. These are rarer than additive multipliers but compound dramatically — late-game multiplicative hits create the big wins.
// NEGATIVE
Rockets
Divide your Counter Balance by 2. A rocket hit on a Counter Balance of 20 makes it 10. They appear randomly along the path and reduce both your accumulated win and the plane's altitude — sustained rocket hits can drag the plane below water level, ending the round in a loss.
// NOTE
The interaction between multipliers and rockets creates Aviamasters's signature drama. A round can climb to a Counter Balance of 30 across a series of multiplier hits, then hit two rockets in quick succession and crash to 7.5 — and a third rocket later may pull the plane into the water entirely. The volatility is moderate, but individual rounds can swing sharply.
// SECTION 05
Big Win, Mega Win, Super Mega Win
BGaming celebrates particularly large rounds with branded pop-ups. Three named win tiers exist in Aviamasters, all triggered by the final Counter Balance multiplier landing on your stake:
// TIER
Big Win
x20
The first major celebration tier. A €1 stake returning €20 triggers Big Win. Statistically achievable in regular sessions; not rare.
// TIER
Mega Win
x40
Doubles the Big Win threshold. Requires either multiple ×3 / ×4 multiplicative hits with no rocket hits, or a long streak of additive hits. Less common.
// TIER
Super Mega Win
x80
The highest named celebration. Reaching x80 requires a strong multiplicative-multiplier streak with minimal rocket interference. Rare but real — most regular players see one within 1,000-2,000 rounds.
Beyond Super Mega Win, the game's hard cap is x250 — that's the theoretical maximum for any single round. Reaching x250 is statistically rare and most operators apply per-round payout caps that take effect at the higher multipliers anyway. The named tiers (x20, x40, x80) are where most players will see their best sessions.
// SECTION 06
RTP and the Math — What 97% Actually Means
Aviamasters's published RTP is 97% — among the highest of any BGaming title and well above the slot baseline (~96%). That's the long-run average return: across millions of rounds, the game returns 97 cents of every dollar wagered. The remaining 3% is the house edge.
What 97% RTP doesn't mean: it doesn't mean your individual session will return 97% of your deposits. The volatility is low to medium-low — meaning short-run results are tighter than a high-volatility slot, but variance still exists. A 100-round session can finish 30% above expected return or 30% below; what RTP guarantees is that across 10,000+ rounds, the average converges.
97%
Theoretical RTP — long-run average across millions of rounds.
3¢
Average house edge per dollar wagered — small, but mathematically decisive over time.
Low–Medium
Volatility — frequent small wins, occasional big multipliers, fewer brutal losing streaks than crash games.
// IMPORTANT
Some operators advertise enhanced-RTP variants of certain BGaming titles (like Plinko's 99% version). For Aviamasters specifically, BGaming publishes 97% as the standard configuration — that's what the in-game info panel should show. If you see a different RTP in your session, the operator is running a non-standard variant; verify before depositing.
// SECTION 07
Strategy, Tips, and Common Mistakes
Because Aviamasters has no in-flight decision points, classic crash-game strategies (auto-cashout targets, partial cashouts, exit-multiplier discipline) don't apply. The decisions are all pre-flight: stake size, speed mode, session length. Strategy here means risk management; nothing the player does after pressing Play affects outcome.
What works (risk management)
- Set a fixed stake before the session and don't change it. Aviamasters's low volatility makes flat-stake play sustainable; chasing losses with bigger stakes is the most common bankroll mistake in this format.
- Decide your session bankroll and break it into round budgets. A session bankroll of €100 at €1 per round = 100 rounds of runway. When the budget is gone, the session is over.
- Use auto-play once your stake and speed are set. Auto-play with stop-on-win and stop-on-loss removes the impulse to keep clicking after a frustrating round.
- Take breaks. The hypnotic visual rhythm of a propeller plane crossing tropical seas is designed to keep you in the chair. A 5-minute break every 30 rounds resets perspective.
- Use Lightning speed for grinding sessions; use Turtle for entertainment value. Speed doesn't change outcomes, but the experience is dramatically different.
- Treat rocket hits as part of the game. A rocket hit isn't bad luck or a glitch — it's a published feature of the path. Sustained sessions will see plenty of them.
What doesn't work (common mistakes)
- Looking for a cashout button. There isn't one. Players frustrated by this often deposit more in confusion before realising the game is structurally different.
- Pattern hunting. "The last 5 rounds ended in water, so the next will land safely." This is the gambler's fallacy. Each round is independent; the RNG has no memory.
- Assuming speed mode affects outcome. It doesn't. Slowing the playback gives you more time to watch — not more time to influence anything.
- Buying "Aviamasters strategies" or "prediction tools" online. They don't work. The path is RNG-generated and pre-committed — no external tool can predict it.
- Increasing stake after Big Win or Super Mega Win. "I'm hot." You aren't. You're variance-positive within a small sample. Stake size is the most regretted decision in problem-gambling literature.
// SECTION 08
Demo Mode — Try Aviamasters Free
Most licensed operators (including Richard Casino) offer Aviamasters in demo mode — virtual currency, real game mechanics. Demo is especially useful here because the no-manual-cashout structure surprises new players; demo gives you a chance to internalise that structure without bleeding real money in the discovery process.
- What demo mode includes
- Identical mechanics, same RTP, same multiplier and rocket distribution, all four speed modes. Identical visuals. Only difference: virtual credits instead of real funds.
- What demo mode doesn't replicate
- The emotional cost of watching a Counter Balance of 50 collapse to 6 after three rocket hits with real money on the line. The temptation to chase the next round after a frustrating splash. These only show up with real stakes. Demo teaches mechanics; it does not teach discipline.
- Recommended demo plan
- 30 rounds at Walk speed to see the core game flow, then 20 rounds at Lightning to feel grinding pace, then 20 rounds at Turtle for the dramatic experience. Total: 70 demo rounds, ~10 minutes. After that you'll know whether the no-cashout format works for you, and which speed mode you actually prefer.
// NOTE
Demo mode is in the lobby, typically beside the real-money tile. No deposit or registration required at most operators. If a casino doesn't offer Aviamasters in demo but does on slots, treat that as a sign they're prioritising margin over player experience — the no-cashout mechanic is exactly the kind of thing demo is meant for.
// SECTION 09
Aviamasters vs Other Crash & Burst Games
Aviamasters sits between two categories — pure crash games (Aviator, JetX) and slots. Quick comparison so you can pick the format that suits your style:
// NOTE
If you want decision-driven crash gameplay — Aviator, Tower Rush, or Chicken Road. If you want pre-determined burst gameplay with the visual punch of climbing multipliers but without the cashout pressure — Aviamasters or Aviamasters 2. The game format you prefer depends on whether you find decision pressure energising or fatiguing.
// SECTION 10
How to Choose Where to Play Aviamasters
Aviamasters is hosted at most modern AU-friendly online casinos — but the operator matters more than the game in determining whether the experience is what was advertised. The criteria below are how experienced players evaluate operators.
Operator-evaluation checklist for Aviamasters
- Verified provider tag — game info panel shows "BGaming". Aviamasters clones with similar art exist; only the BGaming version has the published 97% RTP and provably-fair seed system.
- Check the in-game RTP — published in the info panel. Should show 97% for the standard configuration. If it shows a different figure, the operator is running a non-standard variant.
- Demo mode available — operators offering Aviamasters in demo signal confidence in the game. Especially important here because the no-cashout structure surprises new players.
- Aviamasters 2 in lobby — bonus signal. Operators hosting both versions are typically broader BGaming partners and tend to keep the catalogue current.
- Crypto withdrawal speed — Aviamasters appeals to crypto-comfortable players. Sub-15-minute crypto cashouts are the operator-quality marker for this segment.
- Live chat support — when a stake is stuck after a connection drop mid-flight (rare but happens), you need a human in under 90 seconds.
- Bonus eligibility — Aviamasters may not always contribute 100% to bonus wagering. Always confirm before claiming a bonus you intend to clear with this game.
// SECTION 11
Where We Recommend Playing — Richard Casino
Everything in Sections 01–10 applies wherever you choose to play. This section is where this page becomes a recommendation, because it's our site — Richard Casino is an AU-facing operator launched in 2024, and below is the honest case for why our platform satisfies the operator-evaluation checklist in Section 10.
- Aviamasters in the lobby — verified BGaming version
- We host the BGaming-published version of Aviamasters with the studio's standard 97% RTP. The provider tag in the info panel reads "BGaming". RTP shown is 97% — we don't run reduced-margin variants of any title. We also host Aviamasters 2 alongside the original.
- Demo mode — no deposit, no registration
- Free play is enabled on Aviamasters from the lobby tile. Same mechanics, virtual credits, no commitment. Strongly recommended for first-time players because of the no-cashout structure.
- Crypto withdrawals — under 4 minutes (median)
- Cryptocurrency cashouts settle in under four minutes from approval, e-wallets within 36 hours, bank transfers in 3–5 business days. Every withdrawal is human-reviewed.
- Welcome bonus — A$7,500 + 500 free spins
- 150% match on first deposit up to A$7,500 in bonus funds plus 500 free spins on Big Bass Splash. Note: burst games like Aviamasters may not always contribute 100% to bonus wagering — check the bonus terms before claiming. Real-money play counts toward weekly cashback and tournament leaderboards regardless.
- All four speed modes available
- All four BGaming-published speed modes (Turtle, Walk, Run, Lightning) are enabled. Switching mid-flight works as the studio designed it. Some operators disable Lightning for "responsible gambling" reasons — we don't, but the session-time reminder is enabled by default to balance fast pacing.
- Responsible-gambling tools
- Deposit limits, loss limits, session-time reminders, cooling-off, and self-exclusion are reachable in two clicks from the dashboard. Particularly important for Aviamasters because Lightning speed compresses session pace dramatically — what feels like 10 minutes can be 80 rounds.
// HONEST NOTE
If you're going to play Aviamasters, we'd like it to be at our site — but more important than the brand at the bottom of this page is that you play somewhere that satisfies the Section 10 checklist. If a competitor satisfies it better for your situation, take their offer.
// SECTION 12
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Aviamasters a crash game?
- Sort of — BGaming themselves call it a "burst game". The visual style is crash-game (climbing multipliers, themed flight, dramatic landings) but the underlying mechanic is closer to a slot. There is no manual cashout; the round plays out automatically once you press Play. Section 03 covers the difference in detail.
- Where is the Cash Out button?
- There isn't one. Aviamasters does not have a manual cashout. The flight path is pre-generated by RNG when you press Play, and the plane will either land safely (you win the final Counter Balance) or splash into the water (you lose the stake). Once the round starts, you're a spectator.
- Is Aviamasters rigged?
- No, when played at a licensed operator hosting the verified BGaming version. The game uses certified RNG and provably-fair cryptographic verification — every round's outcome is committed via hash before the animation plays. You can verify each round post-flight using BGaming's seeds. Unverified clone sites are a separate matter — only play the BGaming version at licensed casinos.
- What is the RTP of Aviamasters?
- 97% in the standard BGaming configuration. This is well above the slot baseline (~96%) and equal to top crash games like Aviator. Always verify the actual RTP in the in-game info panel — your operator's deployed version is what matters.
- What's the maximum win?
- x250 multiplier on the original Aviamasters. The sequel Aviamasters 2 raises this to x1,000. Per-round payout caps may be lower at individual operators (typically A$50,000 to A$250,000); reaching the theoretical maximum is statistically rare in either version.
- Does the speed mode change RTP or outcomes?
- No. All four speeds (Turtle, Walk, Run, Lightning) play the same pre-generated path; they just change the playback rate. RTP is constant across speeds. Slow speeds give a more dramatic experience; fast speeds are for grinding.
- Can I play Aviamasters for free?
- Yes. Most licensed operators (including Richard Casino) offer demo mode with virtual credits. Same mechanics, same speeds, same RTP. No deposit or registration required at most operators. Strongly recommended for new players because the no-cashout structure surprises people.
- What's the difference between Aviamasters and Aviamasters 2?
- Same studio, same core "LAND!" mechanic, same 97% RTP. Differences: Aviamasters 2 raises max multiplier from x250 to x1,000, adds four Booster symbols (Magnet, Laser Gun, Nitro, Life Buoy), and offers a paid Safe Landing mode (50× stake) that guarantees a non-water landing. Most players try the original first; the sequel is a more feature-rich variant of the same idea.
- Is there an Aviamasters strategy that works?
- No system beats the math. Strategy in Aviamasters is purely pre-flight (stake size, speed mode, session length) — there are no in-flight decisions to optimise. The most reliable approach: fixed stake, single speed mode, fixed number of rounds, accept variance. Section 07 covers the full risk-management framework.
- Does Aviamasters work on mobile?
- Yes. Aviamasters is HTML5-based and runs in a mobile browser without download. Performance is consistent across iOS and Android. The game is actually optimised mobile-first; many players prefer it on phone because the touchscreen Spin button feels more responsive.
// SECTION 13
A Note on Responsible Play
Aviamasters is designed to feel relaxed — no cashout pressure, low volatility, charming visuals, multiple speed modes. That "casual mobile game" feel is exactly what makes it easy to over-play. A 10-minute session at Lightning speed can be 80+ rounds; the same time at Turtle speed feels deliberate and controlled. Watch the rounds-played counter, not the wall clock.
If you find yourself playing longer than planned, depositing more after a frustrating splash, or using the casual feel of the game to rationalise larger stakes — these are the early signs that it has stopped being entertainment.
