Game of the Month (April 2024) – Adrenaline Rush: XCrash by Evoplay
Just a couple of days ago, we launched our ‘Game of the Month’ awards, which are intended to separate the best crash games from the rest. We’re kicking this initiative off by showcasing a new arrival to the crash scene and a barrier-breaking game simultaneously.
It is with great pleasure that we announce our first ever and April 2024’s best crash game of the month, Adrenaline Rush: XCrash by Evoplay!
April 2024 Winner – Adrenaline Rush: XCrash by Evoplay
If there was ever a game development studio that we praised in the past for its incredible designs and narrative-based approach to crash games, it’s Evoplay.
In fact, we’ve even talked to Tetiana Shumakova, a game producer at Evoplay, about the future of crash gambling before and their company’s vision for it.
For those who don’t know what makes Evoplay’s games stand out in the world of crash gambling, we highly suggest you take a peek at their incredible Goblin Run crash game.
By drawing ties to the infamous Japanese nighttime street racing scene, Evoplay created what feels like a series of games in the same universe.
XCrash is the crash gambling representative of that universe, and as we said in our full XCrash game review, this game is simply mesmerizing. From the incredible 3D graphics to the customization options and a great, provably fair system, this game deserves the title of the first game of the month.

We were lucky enough to secure another interview with Tetiana Shumakova, a game producer at Evoplay with nine years of experience crafting engaging instant, crash, and cutting-edge 3D games. Here is our conversation with Tetiana about their XCrash game.
Interview with Tetiana from Evoplay
As a car lover, I think casinos need more racing and car-based games, and your Adrenaline Rush series definitely delivers on that front!
Was there any particular reason or research behind your choice of a car theme for your original flagship Adrenaline Rush game and the following games?
Racing games have this undeniable pull for players, whether you’re into video games or online casino entertainment. They evoke a genuine rush of adrenaline and excitement that’s hard to match. Players are drawn to racing due to the stimulation of their brain’s reward system, triggered by the sense of speed, competition, and accomplishment.
At Evoplay, we’ve put together a fantastic lineup of street racing titles led by our flagship game, Adrenaline Rush. Whether you prefer the skill-based 3D experience of Adrenaline Rush, the crash-game dynamics of Adrenaline Rush: XCrash, or traditional spinning reels of Adrenaline Rush: Super Boost, we’ve got something for every type of player. By combining racing with engaging gambling mechanics, we’re offering players an immersive experience that breaks the mould and brings unparalleled excitement.
I can say that it definitely paid off, considering this is an interview we organised after your Adrenalin Rush: XCrash won ‘Game of the Month’ here at Crash Gambler.
We love your blending of the Adrenaline Rush design language and overall mood with the crash game mechanics in Adrenaline Rush: XCrash. Do you see this idea of basing multiple games on the same design principle or theme as a future trend in casino games?
Integrating cross-gaming themes and maintaining narrative continuity across various titles significantly enhances player immersion and engagement across the entertainment industry. This approach embraced in film production, gaming, and iGaming sectors is vividly demonstrated by the widespread interest in eagerly anticipated releases such as each new instalment of the Indiana Jones movies, Clash Royale or the Need for Speed series.
After diving into heart-pounding races in the skill-based Adrenaline Rush, players can strap in for Adrenaline Rush: XCrash, where they’ll navigate high-speed chases through city streets alongside the police. Once the adrenaline settles, they can unwind in the garage, enjoying the laid-back vibes of the Adrenaline Rush: Super Boost slot.
While many gaming companies mix intense and lighter themes, creating multiple games within one plot isn’t common in iGaming. However, at Evoplay, we’re exploring this approach to offer players more diversified entertainment.
We’ve already praised your fast-paced, 3D gameplay in your Goblin Run crash game. Are 3D graphics with advanced animations something you’ve observed to be a key element for players?
In games like Adrenaline Rush, relying solely on 2D graphics makes it impossible to capture the essence of the racer’s car feeling alive rather than flat during skids. With 3D graphics, objects approach realism, deepening the player’s immersion. In racing titles, delivering the ultimate road experience is paramount. That’s what players are here for, after all.
Players would swiftly lose interest without these sensations, achievable only through advanced 3D graphics and animations. Every element must resonate with reality; when players control a vehicle in the game, pressing buttons should evoke the feeling of driving a real car.
The same can be said about the fact that you can choose a different car for each of the dual betting interfaces. Have you ever considered combining customizable game characters or cars, in this case, with NFTs?
At Evoplay, we’re committed to revolutionising the iGaming industry through innovation. While we’re enthusiastic about pushing boundaries, we also understand the importance of navigating the delicate landscape we operate within. We might incorporate subtle interface adjustments, such as hiding chat or panels, to accommodate player preferences. However, any integration undergoes rigorous evaluation to ensure alignment with safety or experience principles.
Moreover, we consistently monitor trends and player feedback to explore the integration of customisable game elements with NFTs. Looking ahead, we aim to surprise the gaming community with cutting-edge novelties, setting new standards in the industry.
We love the creativity present in the leaderboard section! The Top 100 chart is definitely spicing up the gameplay. Is this feature going to count the biggest wins and multipliers across all the casinos that will host this game?
Organising such a process involves various intricate aspects, such as ensuring security, safeguarding business interests, optimising operational efficiency, and others. Moreover, comprehensive tracking could be less feasible due to strict privacy policies and the inability to share data between different casino brands.
Nonetheless, even within a specific casino brand, this feature significantly enhances gameplay dynamics and fosters player engagement, providing them immense enjoyment. Therefore, the Top 100 chart undoubtedly enriches the overall gaming experience and nurtures a sense of community among players.
Something that we’re particularly nosey about here at Crash Gambler is provable fairness. We like how you simplified the process of checking the fairness in Adrenaline Rush: XCrash. Do you think players appreciate that you allow them to check the fairness of each round in real-time, compared to only letting them know that the game is based on a certified fair RNG? Is this something your team researched before the release of this game?
We’re pleased to announce the implementation of a reliability check in our games, moving beyond merely stating reliance on a random number generator. By integrating this feature into our instant and crash games, such as Adrenaline Rush: XCrash, we reaffirm our dedication to nurturing stronger bonds of trust with our players.
Ensuring not only exhilarating and action-packed gameplay but also, more importantly, a high-quality and secure environment where players can always trust in the reliability of their game outcomes is paramount to us. This commitment is at the core of our values, as we believe that ensuring player satisfaction is not only our responsibility but also our privilege.
Last but not least, we love the addition of the in-game chatroom, which is something we’ve noticed in your Mary’s Mining Mania crash game as well. Is this a feature that you, as game providers, consider a standard feature nowadays?
In-game chat rooms have become an integral part of the gaming experience for iGamers, and we aim to integrate them into our instant and crash games. We’ve been implementing them since the launch of the instant game Save the Hamster, in which players assist a charming hamster in overcoming various obstacles by placing bets simultaneously.
While in-game chat rooms are now widespread among various providers, they remain highly valued by players. This interactive feature enables iGamers to connect and share their results with the community, especially during moments of victory when winnings exceed x100 and even bigger rewards. It serves as a platform where players can express their intense emotions and fosters a social aspect.
Tetiana, thank you for this insightful conversation and as always, we can’t wait to see what else Evoplay has in store for our community and crash gambling as a whole. Keep up the incredible work!
