Taxi Ride is a crash game from Split The Pot, a studio based in Stockholm and Johannesburg. A minibus taxi drives off, a multiplier climbs, and a bet pays only if you jump out before the taxi crashes. Every player rides the same round, with up to two bets each. The studio gives an RTP of 97%, a figure casinos can tailor, and says the multiplier can possibly reach 1,000,000x.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as Split The Pot publishes it.
The studio supplies more than one RTP, and each casino picks one: its copy shows the figure on the game's info screen.

Where Taxi Ride comes from
Split The Pot has two companies, Split The Pot AB in Stockholm and Split The Pot (Pty) Ltd in Gauteng, and builds cash-out games that are light on data for budget smartphones. It also makes Taxi Ride Deluxe, a separate game with up to four bets a round and rules of its own, so check the tile name. This page covers the original.
How a Taxi Ride round works
Between rides a countdown shows the seconds left and how many players have joined. Then a white minibus taxi drives off and the multiplier climbs for as long as it keeps going. Cashing out means jumping out before the crash, drawn as a smashed road barrier, and every bet still on board then is lost.
All players bet on the same round and get the same result. The number of players, their targets and their stakes do not affect the outcome.
There are two ways out. Press Escape during the ride to cash out at the multiplier of that moment. Or set a target in the Auto escape field, and a winning bet is paid at your target, not at the multiplier the taxi finally reached.
The studio's example: one ride, four targets
A ride ends at 5.43, and four players had different targets. Rand figures are for a R10 stake, stake included.
| Target | Result in the rules | At R10 (our arithmetic) |
|---|---|---|
| 5.43x | Win | R54.30, paid at the target |
| 5.12x | Win | R51.20: the target, not the 5.43 reached |
| 5.44x | Loss | R10 lost, 0.01 short of the target |
| 10x | Loss | R10 lost |
Two bets, Auto escape and Auto
- Two separate bets. The Help screen allows up to two bets per round, handled separately, each placed with its own Play button. Both panels carry a stake with quick-stake buttons, an Auto escape field and an Auto switch.
- Auto escape. Type a multiplier and switch it on, and the bet leaves the taxi there without a tap. A ride that ends even 0.01 below your target loses the stake.
- Auto. Switch Auto on and press Play, and you "automatically join every game round" until you choose Stop Auto.
1,000,000x and the maximum payout
Split The Pot says the multiplier can "possibly reach x1.000.000 times the money". The game's Help also lists a minimum bet, a maximum payout and the RTP: 1.00 euro, 1,000,000.00 euros and 97% in the studio's euro demo. The studio offers casinos "tailored payout percentages", so read those figures where you play.
1,000,000 euros is 1,000,000 times a 1-euro stake but only 40,000 times a 25-euro stake. The bigger the stake, the lower the multiplier at which a payout reaches that maximum.
If your connection drops mid-ride
If the game loses your connection, it will attempt a cash-out worth your stake times the multiplier reached before the disconnection. If the taxi had already crashed before the server noticed you were gone, the stake is lost. Where a translation of the rules differs, the English text applies.
Taxi Ride predictors and signals
The game invites you to predict when the taxi will crash: your own guess before each ride. Split The Pot names BMM Testlabs, GLI and Gaming Associates for its testing, and the game's Help offers no seed or hash to check a ride yourself.
A predictor app or paid signal channel is selling a forecast that nothing from the studio supports. Keep your casino password for the casino's own site or app.

Pros, cons and verdict
- One shared ride, and rules that say nobody's bets change the result
- Two separate bets, each with its own Auto escape and Auto switch
- Clear rules, with a worked example and a rule for lost connections
- A registered game program in Peru, with a named test lab
- The RTP is a casino setting; 97% is the figure in the studio's demo
- The maximum payout is a money figure, far below 1,000,000x at larger stakes
- Auto joins every round until you press Stop Auto
- A dropped connection loses the stake if the taxi crashed before the server noticed
Taxi Ride keeps the crash format plain: one ride for everybody, two bets and a target that pays exactly what you set. Its rules are concrete, down to a target missed by 0.01. Check the RTP and the maximum payout where you play, since at larger stakes the payout cap sits far below 1,000,000x.
Taxi Ride FAQ
What is the maximum win in Taxi Ride?
Split The Pot's own figure is 1,000,000x: the multiplier can "possibly reach x1.000.000". The game also lists a maximum payout in money, 1,000,000 euros in the studio's demo, so read that figure where you play.
Does Auto escape pay the multiplier the taxi reached?
No, it pays your target. In the studio's own example the ride ends at 5.43: a 5.12x target wins 5.12 times the stake, and a 5.44x target loses.
What happens if my connection drops during a ride?
The game will attempt a cash-out worth your stake times the multiplier reached before the disconnection. If the taxi had crashed before the server noticed, the stake is lost.
