Developed in collaboration with Radar Zero and launched via the supplier’s Swish Games brand, the crash game allows players to set their stakes before wagering on how well Tyson performs on an arcade-style boxing machine. 

David Marcus, CEO of Jogo Global, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch: “We are thrilled to bring Mike Tyson’s Crash to life with such an iconic figure at the centre. Our team worked tirelessly to create a game that truly captures the spirit of Tyson’s career and intensity. 

“This game pushes the boundaries of entertainment in casino gaming, and we can’t wait to see players’ reactions.”

As with any crash game, players are tasked with cashing out their wager as a multiplier rises higher, claiming their winnings before the multiplier crashes out randomly. 

Mark Klein, Owner of Radar Zero, explained: “Partnering with Jogo Global and Mike Tyson to create this game has been an incredible journey. Mike Tyson’s Crash is not just a game; it’s an experience that brings players closer to the thrill of the ring. 

“We’re proud of the work that went into making this project a reality and excited for players to get in on the action.”

The title has an RTP of 95.4% and offers players wins of up to x5,000 their stake if they can hold on long enough before cashing out. 

Tyson added: “I’ve been in the ring with many opponents, but being part of a game like this is a whole new experience. Mike Tyson’s Crash is as intense as it gets – players are going to feel the rush and excitement. 

“Jogo Global and Radar Zero did an amazing job capturing that feeling. I’m excited to share this with fans everywhere.”

The release has arrived just in time for Tyson’s upcoming bout with social media star Jake Paul later this week, a fight that has been long-awaited for after being cancelled previously. 

Several sponsorship deals have been formed ahead of the fight, with Netflix gaining the rights to stream the clash and CELSIUS recently announced as the central ring partner.

Earlier this year, the land-based operator successfully invalidated Spribe’s trademarks for its flagship crash game Aviator before the Georgian Court of First Instance. The online casino operator has now outlined plans “to challenge Spribe trademarks worldwide”.  

Following the first successful appeal, Aviator has launched further invalidation action against the trademark with the EUIPO, arguing that the supplier registered its Aviator trademarks in bad faith and in breach of the operator’s own copyright in the EU. 

“The EUIPO action represents the logical continuation of this dispute following the court’s decision,” said Nikoloz Gogilidze, Managing Partner of Mikadze Gegetchkori Taktakishvili, which represents Aviator. 

“Our client is strongly committed to aggressively protecting its IP rights worldwide. Hence, after obtaining the first victory in Georgia where initial infringement took place, the next step is to challenge Spribe trademarks worldwide.”

Looking back at the Georgian case, Flutter became embroiled in the litigation as its Georgian online casino brand Adjarabet was ordered to cease operations of the Aviator crash game on its platform. 

The prosecutor was awarded $330m in damages after the ruling found copyright and trademark infringement and invalidated trademark registrations based on bad faith.

As the studio continues its aim of “expanding our geographical footprint into more regulated markets”, Starcasino.be players will be able to access over 30 Galaxsys games using formats such as mine, crash, and plinko. 

Gil Soffer, SVP Sales & Business Development at Galaxsys, commented: “Starcasino is a well-known leading brand in the Belgium market, and we are delighted to partner with them as they share our vision of offering casino players innovative and exciting gaming experiences.

This has seen the studio gain games certifications for the Colombian and Greek markets, each of which has been attracting significant industry attention across recent months.

Coming hot on the heels of several of its titles being certified for players to enjoy in the Swiss market, these latest regulatory nods have taken a selection of the Galaxsys network live across each of the aforementioned jurisdictions.

Crash, Crasher, Rocketon, and Cash Show are now available and certified in the Colombian market, while Crasher and F Mines will be accessible for consumers in the southeast Europe nation.

Following its most recent round of green-lights, Galaxsys has reiterated a belief that the wider LatAm and continental Europe gaming space are prime “growth markets” for the company’s portfolio of instant, crash, mines, and plinko games.

“We are thrilled that our crash, plinko, mines, instant, and other fast and skill games are certified in Colombia and Greece,” commented Gil Soffer, Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development of Galaxsys,

“These two jurisdictions are now part of a long list of regulated markets in Europe, LatAm and Africa, where our games are available. 

“The recent attendance at LatAm trade shows and iGB Live has successfully delivered new partners and a robust enquiry pipeline as these regions, together with Asia, are generating incredible growth opportunities for us from tier one and local operators alike. 

“We thank the relevant regulatory bodies for their trust in our commitment to high security, quality standards, and responsible gaming as we continue to make our games available in additional regulated markets.”

Last month, Soffer spoke to CasinoBeats about the emergence of fast and crash games in the marketplace, as well as the steps that developers can take to make these formats even more successful and engaging.

“Overall, the market appeal is for a simple interface and interaction in the game session, which is a prerequisite as players don’t have the time to read game rules or understand wilds and features,” he said. 

“It is almost that the player has 10 minutes spare, and they want a sit-and-go style experience, especially if the player is playing via a mobile device.”

One game format has experienced a dramatic rise in popularity in recent years, so much so that some suppliers have dedicated their entire output to the genre. Refusing to crash and burn, these games have gone from a crypto-casino fad to, arguably, an igaming colossal in the space of a few years. 

Although slots and the design process behind them were at the forefront of the CasinoBeats Summit’s panel sessions, the exhibition’s primary conference room became filled with delegates on Thursday afternoon to shine a light on crash and ask – what makes them so popular? 

Hosted by Lina Sennevall, Senior Account Director at Square in the Air, the ‘crash games: the perfect player experience’ panel attempted to break down the aspects of the genre, finding out what makes it so appealing to a modern audience. 

Admitting that crash games do appeal to her as a millennial that grew up playing video games, Sennevall stated that “they’re very simple, I like that,” before asking the panellists: “What is it that makes it so exciting and attractive?”

First to respond was Anastasia Rimskaya, Head of Account Operations at Aviatrix, a supplier that is completely focused on producing Crash content. To answer Sennevall’s question, Rimskaya explained: “First of all, it’s the simplicity. It’s pretty understandable how much you’re going to win, what you need to do and what actions are there.”

Throughout the session, the notion of simplicity and its effect on player satisfaction was a constant topic of discussion. Crash offers players minimal decisions to make in fast-paced game rounds, combining to provide a stream-lined experience with little education needed for the player. 

“entertainment is all about illusion”

Dr. Laila Mintas, CEO and Co-Founder at PlayEngine

While this is a key factor in the success of the format, Rimskaya mentioned a huge component left to address when it comes to crash’s appeal – the illusion of control. 

She stated: “Most of all, it’s really easy to attract betting players who get used to the feeling that they control the game.”

This led to nods of agreement from the remainder of the panel, as Dr Laila Mintas, CEO and Co-Founder of PlayEngine, took the opportunity to outline the importance of making players feel like the power is in their hands, comparing it to other sectors of the gambling world that fall slightly closer to her remit. 

She said: “We’re all in the entertainment industry, entertainment is all about illusion. Somehow, we sell the illusion that a player is able to decide what determines the outcome and has decision-making power.

“We see that strongly in sports betting as well. In sports betting, you might help the player to get educated about sports so they feel like they’re making a very informed decision. In terms of crash games, it is similar. 

“gamblers always like to share their experiences”

Stefanos Patsourakos, Business Development Manager at Betbazar

“Of course, there is the decision-making power there because a player decides when they drop out right? I think that’s what makes it so thrilling, you give limited power to every game and that’s what makes it so attractive.”

Bringing some Greek market expertise as the final panellist was Stefanos Patsourakos, Betbazar’s Business Development Manager. 

He turned the attention of the conversation to the social aspect of crash titles, noting that when meeting the demands of a younger audience, how players interact with one another is just as important as how they interact with the game itself. 

“Gamblers always like to share their experiences. But we have to consider that the players are now getting younger and we have to adjust, especially on social communication and gamification,” Patsourakos noted. 

Rimskaya also explained why the sociability of crash games is a key enforcer for the genre, questioning whether studios would be able to succeed without implementing a social aspect into their titles. 

She added: “I’m sure you can do it without but, in our case, we try to be more innovative and put more [social] features there so that players don’t feel alone. You feel that you’re playing with someone else, it’s not just like pushing the button in a slot.” 

Sennevall reacted to this idea by suggesting that “slots are very solitary in comparison to some of these newer games,” however Mintas claimed that this social aspect of the industry has a further reach than first thought.

Mintas remarked: “The big, big challenge that we see with sports betting is connecting players. There are lots of solutions that are looking into making it an even more social experience, like sharing your betting slip with your friends and sharing your bets on social media.

“With a crash game, it’s actually very easy to create a community where people can share their experiences, trash talk and all those things. So I think that’s a big advantage here.

“Also, being social is so important not only to the new generation, but to slots players. We see it a lot, people want to communicate with each other.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s higher risk than any other game”

Anastasia Rimskaya, Head of Account Operations at Aviatrix

As crash games are a relatively recent product, Sennevall posed a question to the panel to try and understand where these games are best placed in an online casino lobby, and how operators can attempt to cross-sell these popular titles to access players more interested in sports betting or slots. 

With this in mind, Mintas explained: “I am totally into these crash games. Not only as a player but as a supplier. What I’m interested in is figuring out how to use them to basically attract sports bettors to it. 

“We’re always looking for ways to cross a sports bettor to a casino product, or the other way around, and there are a lot of different ways to do it, but, it’s most important to have an attractive product that people understand.”

This is where the simplicity of crash games comes into play, as Mintas continued: “Nobody wants to get educated and learn about these things, it takes time and resources. Because crash games are so simple, it’s very easy to shoot them to the sports bettors at the right moment.

“So, in terms of where they sit [in operator platforms], we see them basically being somewhere between casino and sports betting.”

Before closing, Sennevall asked whether crash games pose a more serious risk to players than slots, in regards to problem gambling and addiction, with Rimskaya quick to denounce any notion of increased risk or harm. Not more than usual,” she said. “I wouldn’t say that it’s higher risk than any other game.” 

Patsourakas reinforced this claim, explaining how players have much more education at hand to be aware of problem gambling and identify irresponsible gambling behaviour to allow for crash games to be seen as a great risk. 

Patsourakas added: “What I think is, in the last two years, risk management from the players is getting more valuable. They’re more educated on controlling their money over their hours played and I feel that it is up to the player.”

“Of course, there is risk, there is addiction, but from my experience, it depends on the actual person and how they can control their budget. If they know that it is entertainment and not to save their life in incomes.”

Adding to that point about crash games and the risk they present as an instant game, Mintas stated that she is yet to see any studies that suggest games like crash are any worse than formats that have been prominent in the industry for decades.

Mintas said: “Gambling addiction is very important and we all have to make sure we stick to the rules, but I personally haven’t seen any studies that show that crash games have more addiction risk than slots in general. So I would probably see them equally.”

Spribe, a company that aligns itself with the development of next-generation arcade games, the integration will also include the developer’s crash game, entitled Aviator, said to be popular with the gen-Y and gen-Z players. 

Aviator is currently certified in more than 20 jurisdictions with Spribe holding MGA and UKGC licences, enabling Relax to offer the studio’s titles to the majority of its tier-one operating partners.

“Having shown such high levels of innovation with its smash hit game Aviator, we are delighted to welcome Spribe as a Powered By Relax partner,” said Simon Hammon, chief product officer at Relax Gaming. “Intuitive new products like this are exactly what we look out for as we strive to drive differentiation and innovation.

The game has been built to allow players to make decisions and adjust outcome settings through the game’s volatility, tailoring the gameplay experience to each user.

Said to be able to handle a significant amount of traffic without any issues, it is said that Aviator consistently accepts more than 2,000 bets simultaneously.

David Natroshvili, managing partner at Spribe, added: “Relax Gaming has certainly lived up to its reputation as an esteemed igaming partner, offering the flexibility and speed to market that we were looking for to help power our growth.

“We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship as we continue to produce next-gen games that appeal to modern gamers.”

This, says will group, will complement its existing games categories which currently make up the aggregation platform, which comprise slots, table games, lotteries, live games, dice games, virtual sports, as well as casual games. Crash gambling games will be offered from several game vendors. 

Crash betting is different to other games of chance in that its mechanics are time-based. The player places a bet and watches the in-game multiplier, usually presented by a rising line graph, go up. 

The higher the line rises, the bigger the multiplier. However, the line can ‘crash’ at any moment. It is up to the player to cash out before that happens to claim their win. If the player does not cash out on time, they lose their bet.

The group’s game aggregator currently offers more than 3,000 crypto-friendly games and several thousand more for fiat currencies, all accessible via a one-off integration via API.

Tatyana Kaminskaya, game aggregator team lead at SoftSwiss, commented on the group’s latest addition: “Crash gambling games are extremely popular at the moment and we’re excited to be starting to provide them to the players. 

“Given the number of titles and the game types we offer today, we can confidently say that the SoftSwiss game aggregator provides one of the most diverse portfolios on the market. And all of this is coupled with reliable client service and technical support.”
