What is FlyX?
FlyX is Microgaming’s crash game — the first from one of online gambling’s oldest and most widely distributed providers. It follows the standard crash format: a futuristic drone ascends, the multiplier climbs, and you cash out before it crashes.
The game doesn’t introduce new mechanics. What it brings is Microgaming’s distribution: the company supplies software to thousands of licensed online casinos globally, meaning FlyX reaches players who may never encounter Aviator or Spaceman at their usual casino.
A branded variant, Thunderstruck FlyX, applies the Thunderstruck IP to the same base game for players who follow that franchise.
How to Play FlyX
- Place your bet before the round begins.
- Watch the drone ascend as the multiplier climbs from 1.01x.
- Cash out at any point to lock in your winnings.
- Set auto cashout to collect automatically at a target multiplier.
- If the drone crashes before you cash out, the bet is lost.
Auto Cashout and Autoplay
Set an auto cashout target and activate autoplay to run a consistent strategy hands-free across multiple rounds. The combination is useful for low-multiplier approaches where manual intervention adds no strategic value.
RTP and House Edge
FlyX runs at 96% RTP, giving the casino a 4% edge. This sits at the lower end of the mainstream crash game range — the same as Evoplay’s Adrenaline Rush: XCrash and Hacksaw’s Speed Crash, and a full percentage point below Aviator (97%) and Crasher (98%).
Over extended play, the difference compounds. Players prioritising mathematical return will find better value at Aviator or Spaceman.
Availability
FlyX’s main advantage over competitors is reach. Microgaming’s casino network is one of the largest in regulated online gambling — any casino running the Microgaming suite will carry FlyX. For players at traditional European licensed casinos who don’t find Aviator in the lobby, FlyX is often the default crash option available.
Verdict
FlyX is a competent but unremarkable crash game. It does everything the format requires — clean interface, reliable mechanics, decent max win ceiling — but adds nothing new. The 96% RTP is a meaningful disadvantage against better-value alternatives. Its strongest argument is availability: if your casino carries Microgaming and not Spribe or Pragmatic Play, FlyX is what you’ve got, and it does the job. If you have a choice, Aviator and Spaceman are the better options.
