Crash games: from 1 kr a round

The minimum stake for Crash games sits at about 1 kr. Counted over 240 rounds, the turnover for an evening comes to 250 kr. A round takes seconds and the rules panel prints the return.

4 titles in the family are carried here, with printed returns from 96.5 to 99 per cent. Plinko sits highest. On 250 kr of turnover the two ends of that span are 6 kr apart.

Pace is the family's least discussed property. 240 rounds an hour means 250 kr passes through the game over an evening even at the minimum stake, and the house takes its share out of the sum passing through rather than out of the deposit.

The floor is not set by the cashier. It sits in the game, and the same title carries the same floor whichever of the nine cashiers we read it is opened at. That is why this page counts in kronor instead of listing cashiers: the figure does not move when you change operator, and it decides how many rounds two hundred kronor covers — about 192 of them at the minimum stake.

Everything sits on the same balance, so the way out is the same whatever the family: 5 of the cashiers we read let two hundred kronor out, 4 do not, and the cheapest road out costs 0 kr. Which game filled the balance changes nothing in that arithmetic.
