Aviamasters is a casual game released by BGaming on 2 July 2024. It runs at 97% RTP with low volatility, caps a round at a x250 multiplier and tops out at a €250,000 win. You set a bet, launch the plane and watch a randomized flight: the plane collects +1, +2, +5 and +10 pickups plus x2 to x5 multipliers that raise its altitude and its Counter Balance, while rockets cut that Counter Balance in half and push the plane lower. When the plane lands on the aircraft carrier, the round's Counter Balance is added to your balance. There is no cash-out button, so this is not a classic crash game. A free demo runs on bgaming.com, and the game took Best Casino Game at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2025.

What Aviamasters actually is
Aviamasters is a casual game by BGaming, not a slot and not roulette. There are no reels, no paylines and no wheel: the whole product is a single flight. You choose a stake, the plane leaves the deck and follows a path the game generates for that round, and what the plane carries when it lands is what you get. The studio lists it in its casual catalogue, next to Lucky Pinball, Chicken Rush 2 and Fishing Time, rather than among its slots.
The Aviamasters game uses a running number called the Counter Balance. It starts at your bet and changes as the plane meets objects in the air: pickups add to it, multipliers scale it, rockets halve it. A Progress Dashboard on the screen tracks altitude, distance and the multipliers gathered so far, so you can read the round as it happens rather than wait for a final figure.
One external marker exists for the title: it won Best Casino Game at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2025, a year after its 2 July 2024 release. We treat that as a fact about industry recognition, not as a claim about your results — the maths of the round is the same for an award winner as for any other 97% RTP game.
Best Casino Game · SiGMA Europe 2025 How one round works, step by step
Every Aviamasters round has the same shape: a bet, a launch, a randomized flight and a landing. What differs is the path — where the pickups sit, where the rockets cross, how high the plane climbs before the carrier appears. Here is the sequence as BGaming describes it, then a simulator that plays it out with the published rules.
- Set the bet on the plane.The stake is the starting Counter Balance, shown above the aircraft in real time.
- Launch.The plane follows a randomized trajectory generated for this round only.
- Collect pickups and multipliers.+1, +2, +5 and +10 add to the Counter Balance; x2, x3, x4 and x5 multiply it. Each hit lifts the altitude.
- Meet the rockets.A collision halves the Counter Balance and pushes the plane lower. The round does not end.
- Read the Progress Dashboard.Altitude, distance and gathered multipliers update during the flight.
- Land on the aircraft carrier.The Counter Balance is added to your balance. A water landing loses the round.
Counter Balance above the plane; Altitude, Distance and Multiplier in the dashboardTwo settings sit outside the flight: autoplay with a round count and stop conditions, and a speed selector with four paces, speed 2 by default. Neither touches the maths.
Illustration of the published rules, not the game's random number generator. The 97% RTP describes the long run, never one flight.
Is Aviamasters a crash game?
No. A crash game shows one multiplier rising on a curve and gives you a cash-out button; the result depends on pressing it before the curve breaks. Aviamasters has none of that. The round plays out on its own from launch to landing, there is no button to leave early, and the number you take home is decided by the path, the pickups, the rockets and the touchdown. Your influence ends with the bet size, the speed and the autoplay conditions set before the flight.
The confusion is understandable: in operator lobbies the title sits in the casual or crash section, and the plane-in-the-sky imagery reads the same at a glance. That is a shelving decision and a shared audience, not a shared mechanic. The lever redraws the round for both models; the strategy page takes the fact further — without a cash-out moment there is nothing to time.
RTP, volatility and the ceilings
The 97% figure is a long-run average: for every €100 wagered across a very large number of rounds, the game is built to return €97 and keep €3. It says nothing about the next ten flights, and it is not something a bet size or a speed setting can move. The 3% that remains is the house edge, and it is charged on every round in the same proportion.
Low volatility describes the shape of the results rather than their size. Aviamasters pays out often and in modest amounts: the Counter Balance usually lands somewhere in the middle of its range, and flights that approach the x250 cap are rare by design. Players who want a steady stream of small landings will recognise the game; players chasing one enormous multiplier will find the ceiling and the distribution working against that plan.
The two ceilings stack: x250 limits the multiplier in one round, €250,000 limits the money that round can pay. At small stakes only the first one is reachable. What this means for so-called systems: strategy and myths.
The landing fixes the round: what the plane carries is what is creditedBGaming, the studio behind it
Aviamasters BGaming is a natural search, because the studio's name is the shortest answer to who made the game. BGaming supplies slots and casual titles to online operators and keeps a public catalogue on bgaming.com, where every game page carries its own demo. Aviamasters sits in that catalogue in the casual category, and the same catalogue explains where the plane's toy-like look comes from: it is the house style of the studio's casual line.
The titles around Aviamasters in the studio's own listing tend to share a lobby shelf with it. On the casual side: Lucky Pinball, Chicken Rush 2, Fishing Time, Kicker Mania and Lucky Birds; on the slot side: Elvis Frog in Vegas, Alien Fruits, Book of Cats, Aztec Clusters and Bonanza Billion. None shares the flight mechanic — the casual titles have their own single-screen rounds, the slots have reels — but they share the studio, the demo policy and the visual language.
Where the game shows up
Operators file Aviamasters under casual or crash, usually in the same shelf as Aviator from Spribe, JetX from SmartSoft Gaming and Spaceman from Pragmatic Play, plus titles from Turbo Games and Evoplay. The neighbours are crash games with a cash-out button; Aviamasters is the odd one out mechanically, but it shares their audience and their place in the menu. If you are looking for it in a lobby, that section is where to start.
Two versions exist and they are not interchangeable. The free one lives on the studio's site: the demo on bgaming.com opens in the browser without a deposit or an account, and our demo and fake-money page covers what it can and cannot teach. The paid one lives only inside operator lobbies. For US players that means offshore sites rather than state-licensed ones, a picture the real-money page lays out without dressing it up.
FAQ
Six questions the search results usually get wrong or leave out, answered from the studio's own page — including the one that matters most: whether this is a crash game at all.
What is Aviamasters?
A casual game from BGaming, released on 2 July 2024. You bet on a plane, the plane flies a randomized path collecting multipliers, and the Counter Balance it carries is credited when it lands on the aircraft carrier. The game runs at 97% RTP with low volatility.
Is Aviamasters a crash game?
No. A crash game gives you a rising curve and a cash-out button, and your timing decides the result. Aviamasters plays the round out on its own: there is no cash-out, and your input is limited to the bet size and the round settings.
What is the maximum win in Aviamasters?
The multiplier is capped at x250 per round and the absolute win ceiling is €250,000. Because volatility is low, results cluster near the middle of the range far more often than near that ceiling.
What do the rockets do?
A rocket collision halves your current Counter Balance and pushes the plane onto a lower trajectory. It does not end the round: the plane keeps flying and can still pick up multipliers before it lands.
Who made Aviamasters?
BGaming, the studio behind Elvis Frog in Vegas, Book of Cats, Bonanza Billion and casual titles such as Lucky Pinball, Chicken Rush 2 and Fishing Time. Aviamasters won Best Casino Game at the SiGMA Europe Awards 2025.
Can I play Aviamasters for free?
Yes. A demo runs on bgaming.com with no deposit and no account, using the same 97% RTP and the same x250 cap as the real-money version. Only the money is different.
Verdict
- You want a short round with a visible number that moves as you watch.
- You prefer frequent modest landings to hunting one rare multiplier.
- You want to control the exit the way a crash game lets you cash out.
- You are looking for high volatility and a shot at the top of the range every round.
Aviamasters carries a negative expectation: at 97% RTP the game keeps 3% of turnover over the long run, and no setting changes that. Play only with money you can afford to lose, decide the session limit before the first round, and stop there. Free, confidential help in the US: 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738).
