The 5x strategy means setting auto cash out at 5x on every bet: you win about 19.4% of rounds and each win turns R50 into R250. It is the big-win hunter target in Aviator, JetX and Spaceman at Hollywoodbets, Betway or a partner crypto casino. Below: the real win chance, how long the cold runs get, a 1,000-session simulator test in rand and how to set it up. This is one of the setups in our crash game strategy guide.
How the 5x auto cash out strategy works
Set auto cash out at 5x and keep the same stake every round. With a 97% RTP the multiplier reaches 5x in 19.4% of rounds, so you land a win about once every 5.2 rounds. Each win adds R200 profit on a R50 bet. Wins are rarer but each one pays for a long string of misses. Our auto cashout strategy guide compares the targets side by side.
5x vs other auto cash out targets
| Target | Win chance | Profit per R50 win | Rounds per win |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1x | 88.2% | R5 | 1.1 |
| 1.2x | 80.8% | R10 | 1.2 |
| 1.5x | 64.7% | R25 | 1.5 |
| 2x | 48.5% | R50 | 2.1 |
| 3x | 32.3% | R100 | 3.1 |
| 5x (this one) | 19.4% | R200 | 5.2 |
| 10x | 9.7% | R450 | 10.3 |
| 100x | 0.97% | R4,950 | 103.1 |
Higher targets pay more per win but miss more often. crash game 100x odds shows the long-shot maths in full.
Simulator test: 5x over 100 rounds
We ran the 5x strategy through our simulator: 1,000 sessions of 100 rounds, a R2,500 bankroll and R50 bets. The median session finished on R2,500, the luckiest 10% on R3,750 or more and the coldest 10% on R1,250 or less. 1.5% of sessions ran the bankroll below one bet. That spread is the point of a 5x target: a handful of hits makes the session. Run your own numbers in the simulator below, or practise free in our free crash game.
Cold runs at 5x
Every target has losing streaks. At 5x the chance of missing:
- 3 rounds in a row: 52.4%
- 5 rounds in a row: 34.0%
- 10 rounds in a row: 11.6%
Long runs without a hit are normal here, so a bankroll of 50 bets (R2,500) is the minimum we would bring. The crash game bankroll management guide shows how to size your bankroll for it.
Best games for the 5x strategy
The target works on any crash game with auto cash out. Hollywoodbets Aviator at 97% RTP is the classic choice, JetX South Africa works the same way, and Spaceman South Africa runs at 95% RTP, so every target hits slightly less often there.
