JetX is a crash game by SmartSoft Gaming: a jet takes off, a multiplier climbs, and you cash out before it explodes. It plays much like Aviator, two bets a round included. The real difference is the return, which SmartSoft ties to when you cash out.
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.

Where JetX comes from
SmartSoft Gaming launched JetX in 2018. Its newer JetX, released in September 2026, takes one, two or four bets a round and lists "MegaDrop and Jackpot tools for operators" among its features. This page describes the two-panel game.
How JetX works
You place a bet before the jet takes off, a multiplier climbs as it flies, and Collect pays your stake times the multiplier. If the jet explodes first, the stake is gone. SmartSoft's rules put a flight anywhere from 1x to the win cap, and say the player's speed or skill does not decide the outcome.
The game has two bet panels, each with its own stake, autoplay and auto cash-out, so one flight can carry an early target and a later one. Aviator works the same way.
What sets JetX apart is the maths. Spribe gives Aviator one return, 97%. SmartSoft gives JetX a range, 96.2% to 98.9%, and its rules give the highest return to the player who cashes out at the lowest multiplier. So your cash-out point moves the return as well as the win.
What to know before your first JetX round
- The best return is at the lowest target. Aiming high means fewer wins and no better return: the top of the range goes to the lowest cash-out multiplier. Set each panel's target before the jet takes off and let auto cash-out take it.
- A cash-out is a request, not an instant. A tap on Collect sends a payout request, settled at the multiplier the server has reached when it processes it: usually around 200 to 300 milliseconds later, and only if the jet has not exploded. Auto cash-out pays at the multiplier you set, which suits a slow mobile connection better than a late tap.
- The history bar is only history. The panel in the left corner lists earlier multipliers, red below 1.5x and green above. SmartSoft's rules for its newer JetX say a round's result is not influenced by previous rounds, your bet amount or your strategy.
What JetX's rules say about predictors
SmartSoft's rules for its newer JetX say the result of each round is determined by the game system and is not influenced by the player's actions. An app on your phone has no access to that system. What it can do is take a subscription, ask for your casino login or install something unpleasant on an Android phone.

Pros, cons and verdict
- Two bets a round, each with its own autoplay and auto cash-out
- SmartSoft says plainly where the best return is: the lowest cash-out
- Written rules for what happens to a bet when your connection drops
- Carried by fewer South African operators than Aviator
- Two stakes in one round mean two losses when the jet goes early
- The best return sits with the smallest wins
JetX plays much like Aviator: two bets, a climbing multiplier, a race to cash out. What sets it apart is the maths, since SmartSoft gives a range and puts the top of it at the lowest cash-out. Set your targets before the jet launches, and check the lobby first: fewer South African operators carry it than Aviator.
JetX FAQ
How is JetX different from Aviator?
Less than the name suggests: both take two bets a round, each with its own auto cash-out. The main difference is the return. Spribe gives Aviator one figure, 97%, while SmartSoft gives JetX a range, 96.2% to 98.9%, highest at the lowest cash-out multiplier.
Does JetX have a jackpot?
Only where a casino switches one on. SmartSoft lists "MegaDrop and Jackpot tools for operators" among the features of its newer JetX, so a jackpot is not part of every JetX round.
Which South African operators have JetX?
Fewer than carry Aviator. The casinos listed on this page are the ones where we have found it.
Do JetX predictors work?
No. SmartSoft's rules for its newer JetX say each round's result is determined by the game system, not by anything the player does, so nothing on your phone can read it in advance.
Can I try JetX before depositing?
Yes. The Play Demo button on SmartSoft's own JetX page opens the newer JetX, whose menu has a "Switch to old JetX" item. Use it to practise setting auto cash-out targets.
