CricketX, written Cricket X in the title of SmartSoft Gaming's own page, is the JetX studio's cricket crash game. You place one or two bets, then a red cricket ball climbs through a blue sky while a multiplier rises from 1.00x. Collect before the ball explodes and the stake is multiplied. Wait too long and it is lost. The RTP is 94.0-98.9%, and any bet is collected automatically at 25,000x.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time. Here it depends on the bet you pick or when you cash out.
The RTP moves with the bet you pick or the moment you cash out. The game's info screen gives the figures.

How a CricketX round works
SmartSoft Gaming, the studio behind JetX, calls CricketX "a fast-paced crash game inspired by the globally popular sport of cricket". A red cricket ball rises through a blue sky with the multiplier in large white figures beneath it. A win is "the current height coefficient" times the bet, and the height "is not determined and varies from 1 to infinity".
A round has two halves. First the bets come in, shown as GETTING THE BETS over a progress bar and short cricket scenes. Then the ball flies. Press COLLECT before it explodes and the profit goes straight to your balance. If the explosion comes first, the stake is lost. The lowest multiplier is 1.00x.
A bet can be cancelled only until the loading countdown begins. A bet pressed while a ball is flying waits for the next round, and the button reads BET For next round.
Two bets, Auto Bet and Auto Collect
- One or two bets. You can place one or two bets on the same flight. Each panel has its own stake, BET button and COLLECT, so one bet can be collected early while the other stays in the air.
- Auto Bet and Auto Collect. Each panel has an AUTO switch for the bet and another for the collect: one places a preset stake, the other collects at a preset multiplier. Both switch on when the next round starts.
- The lowest target. The lowest Auto Collect target is 1.35x. The field shows 2.00x until you change it.
94.0% to 98.9%: the return and your cash-out
SmartSoft gives the RTP as 94.0-98.9%, and "the maximum RTP can be achieved by the player when opting to bet on the lowest possible crash multiplier". So the top of the range belongs to the lowest cash-out target. SmartSoft does not say which choice returns 94.0%.
Over a very large number of rounds, R100 staked comes back as about R98.90 at the top of the range and R94 at the bottom. Both ends are below the stake. No casino setting is named, so this page lists the RTP as depending on when you cash out.
25,000x and the maximum win in money
The ball's height may run "from 1 to infinity", but a bet stops at 25,000x: there "the win amount is auto collected" without a press.
The help also prints limits in money: the lowest and highest stake and a "Max win". SmartSoft's demo, in its own DMO credits, takes stakes of 0.1 to 100.00 with a maximum win of 10000 DMO. So above a 0.4 DMO stake the money limit comes before 25,000x.
Where the money limit meets 25,000x
Our sums, in SmartSoft's demo credits, not rand. A casino's own help shows its own limits.
| Stake (DMO) | 25,000x would pay | Multiplier that reaches 10,000 DMO |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1 | 2,500 | None: 25,000x comes first |
| 0.4 | 10,000 | 25,000x, both limits at once |
| 1 | 25,000 | 10,000x |
| 10 | 250,000 | 1,000x |
| 100 | 2,500,000 | 100x |
The results strip and the side panels
- Past results. A strip of earlier multipliers sits beside the game, and each round joins it after the explosion: blue for results "not more than 1.5", green above that.
- Other players. A table lists each player's bet, collect and win for the round, with tabs for your own bets and the top wins. SmartSoft's phone screenshot also shows a chat tab.
What a target or a second bet changes
The highest return, 98.9%, goes to the lowest target, and even that is below 100%. Splitting between two bets changes how results arrive, not the house edge. The results strip shows only rounds that have ended. The ball's height is "not determined", so an app or signal that claims to know it in advance claims more than the game's own rules allow.

CricketX FAQ
What is the RTP of CricketX?
94.0-98.9%. The maximum goes to the player who bets on the lowest possible crash multiplier, so the top of the range belongs to the lowest cash-out target. Both ends return less than the stake over time.
What is the maximum win in CricketX?
A bet is collected automatically at 25,000x. The help also prints a maximum win in money: 10000 DMO in SmartSoft's demo, which a 100 DMO stake reaches at 100x. Your casino's help shows its own figure.
Can I place two bets in one CricketX round?
Yes. Each of the two panels has its own stake, BET button and AUTO switches for the bet and the collect. The lowest Auto Collect target is 1.35x.
Can I cancel a CricketX bet?
Only before the loading countdown begins. A bet pressed while a ball is flying is placed after the current round ends.
Is CricketX the same game as CricketerX or JetX?
No. All three are SmartSoft Gaming crash games, but CricketerX has its own page and demo, and JetX flies a jet rather than a cricket ball. This page covers CricketX only.
