Our Review
Update: Adrenaline Rush XCrash just won the first-ever title of ‘Game of the Month’ at Crash Gambler!
Picture this: You are cruising through Chinatown in the iconic BMW M3 GTR, Need For Speed style, with all the neon lights flashing in your eyes while you run away from the police.
Those goosebumps you are getting — that’s what Evoplay’s Adrenaline Rush: XCrash crash game is all about.
In this Adrenaline Rush: XCrash review, I examine its features, such as betting on two positions simultaneously and the likelihood of hitting the maximum 1,000X bet multiplier.
Gameplay Experience & Features
If I were to describe my experience playing Adrenaline Rush: XCrash, this is what I’d say:
As the third instalment of Evoplay’s Adrenaline Rush series of casino games, XCrash had big shoes to fill, and boy, did it fill them. It edges out its predecessors by offering a smooth gameplay experience with more betting features.
Desktop Experience
In essence, Adrenaline Rush: XCrash is just like your regular crash game, only this time, you are racing cars on the streets, not watching planes go up, like in Spribe’s Aviator.
We’ve already seen Evoplay release some amazing-looking crash games (like Goblin Run) in the past, and this one is no different.
First of all, I loved the fact that you can place two bets for each round. This allows you to strategize and cash out at different rates before the cops catch you or that 18-wheeler crashes into your car.
Cash out one, leave the other one running!
The wagers are entirely independent of each other.
The live chat on the right is a neat option for friendly banter that can relieve some of that pressure, which is an indelible part of the game.
Another fantastic social feature is the option to share your achievements from the Top-100 list, provided you get there, of course, using the Share button and reposting those wins.
The same section displays the leaderboard and the bet history, where the latter not only shows your previous wagers but those of other players, too.
When you combine the bet history with the small bar above the controls showing when other players have cashed out their bets, you can get a good feeling of how other players think and possibly even spot a pattern.
Speaking of controls, I don’t appreciate how small the buttons are, especially when you are not playing in full-screen mode. When you want to change the bet size or choose another car (yes, you can select between different vehicles), you have to be quite precise.
I always give credit when credit is due, and with the instructions on how to test the Provably Fair algorithm, Evoplay shows how committed they are to fair and safe gambling. The ease of checking the fairness can easily be compared to that of Crash by BC Originals.
Mobile Experience
In terms of user experience, I’d even give the mobile version of Adrenaline Rush: XCrash a slight advantage. The buttons are larger, even though the screen is arguably smaller. Still, that doesn’t affect the gameplay one bit.
The focus is still on the dual betting interface, and I like it that way. I am here for the betting part, after all. The chat option is hidden under the message icon, so it won’t be a distraction if you want to focus on the action at hand.
Now, the history and leaderboards are accessed through a hamburger menu at the bottom left. While that’s all fine and dandy, the new screen covers the Cash Out controls, so you are in danger of losing the bet if you want to check the settings while in play. My advice to you — simply don’t do that.
Gameplay Options
Like in all releases from the series, Adrenaline Rush: XCrash also offers two modes of play: manual and automatic betting mode. Let’s see how these work.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, you select the size of your bets by pressing the plus and minus signs or choosing one of the predetermined values below the bet control. You can even remove the second betting interface if you prefer it that way and do not want to be tempted by it.
When you set the wager, simply hit the green Bet Now button, and you will be good to go.
What I also love about the betting functionality of Adrenaline Rush: XCrash is that you can bet on the next round when the current one is in progress, so you don’t get pressured by a really short betting time window of a mere three seconds (the game is quite fast-paced in that regard).
Autoplay Mode
The Autoplay mode is for those with deeper pockets and those looking to sit back and let the game do its thing. Clicking or tapping on the blue Start Auto Bet will trigger the autoplay function, which will keep placing the same wager indicated in the bet level in your stead until you deactivate it.
Note that you still have to cash out the bet unless you initiate the Auto Cash Out function!
You can set the automatic cash out on multipliers from 1.1x to 999x, and every time the game reaches that multiplier, it will cash out automatically.
Pros and Cons of Adrenaline Rush: XCrash
Let’s take another look at the advantages and disadvantages of playing Adrenaline Rush: XCrash. One thing is for sure; there are a lot more pros than cons!
Pros
✅ Bet history
✅ Leaderboard
✅ Dual betting interface
✅ Fully mobile-optimized
✅ Live chat function
✅ Three car skins
✅ Top graphics and audio effects
✅ Betting automation
✅ Amazing max. cashout
Cons
❌ RTP of 96% is on the lower side of things

Final Thoughts
Adrenaline Rush: XCrash is super exciting, has amazing visuals, and with the dual betting interface, gives way to an amazing betting experience.
All in all, I’d give Adrenaline Rush: XCrash an 8.5/10, just because the buttons and settings are somewhat smaller, so it can be difficult to tap on them when using a mobile device.
I also missed some advanced betting automation features that would help me expand my crash gambling strategy options.
