High Flyer is Pragmatic Play's third crash game. During a short countdown you confirm up to two bets, then an orange biplane takes off and a multiplier climbs from 1.00x. A bet pays only if it is cashed out before the plane flies off. Pragmatic publishes a 97% RTP and a top multiplier of 1,000,000x, although a per-bet payout cap can settle a large win sooner.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as Pragmatic Play publishes it.

Where High Flyer comes from
Pragmatic Play launched High Flyer on 19 September 2024, after Spaceman and Big Bass Crash. At the launch its chief operating officer spoke of "only five seconds between flights". Pragmatic calls Spaceman its original crash game, with the 50% cashout it introduced, an option High Flyer's rules do not include.
How a High Flyer round works
Every round opens with a short betting window, shown as NEXT GAME IN with a countdown. You pick a stake, press CONFIRM BET and can change it until BETS CLOSED appears. Arrive later and the screen says WAIT FOR NEXT GAME: you watch that flight and can set up a bet for the next.
The multiplier then starts at 1.00x and rises until the Crash, at "a random predetermined multiplier value". Cash out before it and the bet pays its stake times the multiplier at that moment. Anything still riding when the plane flies off is lost, and a Crash at 1.00x takes every bet in the round.
Selected operators can brand the plane, background and messages, so a casino's version may look unlike the official images.
Two bet spots, Auto Cashout and Autoplay
- Two bet spots. Up to two bets per round; Settings sets how many bet spots you see. Each spot has its own auto cashout threshold and manual cash-out, so one bet can leave early while the other keeps climbing.
- Auto Cashout. Switch it on during the betting time and set a target, 1.01x to 100x in Pragmatic's demo. The target is paid "if it is less or equal to the Crash multiplier", so a flight ending exactly on it still pays. The target locks at take-off, but CASHOUT still lets you leave earlier by hand.
- Autoplay. Place a bet, set its Auto Cashout and choose how many rounds Autoplay repeats it. Changing the stake or the target means cancelling the bet. Autoplay stops when the rounds run out, when the balance is too low, or on a trigger you set: balance down or up by an amount, or a single win above a value.
Rounding and the optimal 97%
All winnings are rounded down to two decimals, and the help puts the optimal theoretical RTP of 97% at "cashing out at whole numbers to avoid rounding".
A R0.50 bet settled at 1.37x comes to R0.685 and is paid as R0.68. At 1.01x it comes to R0.505, paid as R0.50, the stake back and nothing more. At 2x it is exactly R1.00. Rounding takes less than a cent from any win, so it weighs most on low stakes and low targets.
1,000,000x and the per-bet payout cap
The multiplier tops out at 1,000,000x, and a bet still flying there is paid automatically. A second limit can come first: a bet is also paid once its potential win reaches the table's maximum payout.
Both sit in the Payouts & Limits panel, opened from the arrow beside the game name. Pragmatic's demo, in euro, shows bets of €0.10 to €100 and a maximum payout per bet of "1,000,000x or € 250,000 (or currency equivalent), whichever is reached first". So only a stake of €0.25 or less could reach 1,000,000x, and a €100 bet meets the cap at 2,500x. A casino can set its own cap.
Delays, disconnections and cancelled rounds
- A cash-out is a request. Cash-outs are subject to delays, "usually around 100-200ms" depending on your connection, and settle at the multiplier current when the server processes them, if the Crash has not happened. One that cannot be processed shows CASHOUT FAILED.
- Your connection drops. Before BETS CLOSED, the bet is discarded. After BETS CLOSED but before take-off, or while the multiplier is 1x, it is refunded, unless 1x is the Crash point and it loses. From 1.01x with no Crash yet, a Forced Cashout is applied the moment you disconnect, shown in History as Cashout (disconnection).
- Something breaks. A technical malfunction cancels the round and refunds all bets. For a dispute, give Live Support the round's Game ID, ideally with a screenshot.
What the statistics tell you
The Bets, History, Top and Stats tabs show the 50 highest bets of the coming round, your own bets, the biggest wins and the last 500 results.
None of it shows where the next flight ends: each Crash point is random and predetermined. Apps, channels or bots selling High Flyer "signals" claim to forecast a number the rules call random.

Pros, cons and verdict
- Two bet spots, each with its own Auto Cashout
- Auto Cashout pays when the Crash lands exactly on the target
- A published 97% RTP, and the help says how to reach it
- A written disconnection policy with a Forced Cashout from 1.01x
- In Pragmatic's demo any bet above €0.25 meets the payout cap before 1,000,000x
- Every win is rounded down to two decimals
- A Crash at 1.00x takes every bet in the round
- Auto Cashout targets stop at 100x in Pragmatic's demo
High Flyer keeps the crash format plain: a biplane, a multiplier from 1.00x and two bet spots with a target each. The catch is the payout cap: in Pragmatic's demo it, not the 1,000,000x ceiling, sets the most any bet above €0.25 can win. Check Payouts & Limits before the first flight.
High Flyer FAQ

1,000,000x, unless a per-bet payout cap comes first: €250,000 in Pragmatic's demo. Payouts & Limits beside the game name shows your table's cap.
What is the RTP of High Flyer?
97.00% on Pragmatic's game page. The help calls 97% the optimal return, reached by cashing out at whole numbers, since every win is rounded down to two decimals.
How many bets can I place in one High Flyer round?
Up to two, one per bet spot, each with its own stake, cash-out button and Auto Cashout. Bets go in during the countdown, and one placed after BETS CLOSED waits for the next flight.
What happens if my connection drops during a flight?
Before BETS CLOSED the bet is discarded. Before take-off, or at 1x, it is refunded unless 1x is the Crash point. From 1.01x with no Crash yet, a Forced Cashout settles it the moment you disconnect.
