JetX receives "The Best Crash Game of 2024" award

JetX from Smartsoft Gaming is one of the oldest crash games ever. Paving the way for many similar titles, the game was recently voted the best crasher in 2024. Those responsible were very pleased in the trade press, took a closer look at their genre classic and also took the opportunity to announce new developments.

Crash games are a real phenomenon on the international gambling market. Gambling could hardly be simpler, yet hundreds of thousands of players take up such titles every day. We reported in detail on Spribe's Aviator and the boom in crash games just last autumn.

Many millennials in particular are attracted to these simple, fast and highly mobile games. Basically, you don't have to do much more to win than place a bet and use it to exit a round before an increasing multiplier, which ultimately also determines the win, stops or crashes. This basic mechanic has been packaged in countless stories over the years. The classic is undoubtedly the ascending aeroplane or spaceship, as used by JetX.

JetX is considered to be one of the forefathers of this concept, which has been used countless times to this day. The title is already around six years old, but still has a more than decent fanbase and is still counted among the top 5 best games of this genre in (serious) comparisons. The developer Smartsoft Gaming itself says that its creation can be played in more than 70 countries and is far from being "old hat". As a result, JetX recently won the prize for "Best Crash Game of 2024" at the SIGMA Africa Awards.

"JetX's journey is not over yet"

In the trade press, Smartsoft Gaming's Chief Executive Officer Guga Gotsadze confirmed that although JetX, with its current fanbase, is already one of the classics among crash games, its journey is not yet over. He sees the current award as clear proof that his assessment is correct. One of the key factors is the simplicity of the title.

Crash games work according to a simple but exciting principle, which manifests itself in JetX like in hardly any other variant: Users place a bet and watch as a multiplier rapidly increases, representing the potential win. Players must cash out before the multiplier collapses and - in the case of JetX - the jet explodes. The longer they wait, the higher the multiplier. However, this also increases the risk of losing everything if they don't get out in time.

The mechanics of the crash games provide many players with much more excitement and fun than they initially expect from this straightforward concept. The thrill lies in the right timing - those who find the happy medium between maximising the potential profit and avoiding the crash are the ones who succeed in the long term. This simplicity combined with the fast pace appeals to gamblers who are looking for fast but also lucrative gaming fun.

Guga Gotsadze believes that SmartSoft Gaming has created a pioneering title in the genre with JetX, which perfectly realises the standard format of crash games. The factors of playing together and socialising are also important. As one of the first crash games, JetX offered users the opportunity to bet together in rounds, chat and use statistics to maximise their winnings. All of these features are standard today, but were truly innovative at the time.

What users think about JetX is very important to the provider. Gotsadze emphasises:

"Since developing the game in 2018, we have been continuously evaluating user satisfaction through feedback mechanisms and monitoring growth."

This has contributed greatly to the title's popularity to date: Gotsadze says that the game's foundation has been carefully calibrated to create an optimal balance between excitement and longevity. JetX allows its players to experience the thrill of winning in short bursts, but it also allows for longer and more engaging play sessions.

Smartsoft looks confidently to the future of crash games

In the search for the next big thing in crash games, Smartsoft Gaming clearly sees JetX as a strong inspiration. Crash games are generally easy to adapt to new challenges and evolving demographics or player preferences. They can be door openers to untapped potential.

The Smartsoft Gaming boss says very specifically:

"Looking to the future, we envision a new generation of crash games that push beyond the current boundaries and offer players a more immersive and exciting experience. One avenue for further development is the integration of innovative features that increase engagement and fun. Whether through advanced graphics, interactive gameplay elements or dynamic stories, we want to develop games that keep users engaged."
