Our Review
When Pragmatic Play releases a slot game, the whole gambling world erupts. But I have yet to find a Pragmatic crash game that can rival the King in this category – Aviator by Spribe.
Can High Flyer pull it off?
In this review, I’ll explain High Flyer’s features and determine whether it is a good option for you to try your luck.
Gameplay Experience & Features
Our team has set up a dedicated game review process to ensure that each review is fully unbiased. This process will help you find the best crash games on the market.
Each member of our team follows a strict protocol. We test each crash game in real-time rather than writing dry facts that we haven’t justified first-hand.
Desktop Gameplay Experience
High Flyer is a solid crash game, especially on a desktop. The dual-bet feature is a standout, which strikes a nice balance between strategy and user-friendliness.
Of course, some players may prefer simplicity or higher RTPs than Pragmatic Play’s confirmed 97%–in such case, I’d suggest Crash by BC Game. It ticks both boxes (a single-betting interface and 99% RTP).
The maximum payout is 1,000,000X, which is amazing! However, I can’t use the Martingale strategy in this crash game, which isn’t a big red flag for me personally, though it might be for others.
The inclusion in Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins promotions is a nice bonus. It gives me extra incentive to keep coming back.
However, something weird that I’ve noticed is that the minimum bet is $0.10, but the other default options are to add $1, $5, $10, or $25.
I wish there were some default options to add $0.10 or $0.20 or a way to apply Martingale, for example.
I’m a big fan of High Flyer’s leaderboard system. It adds a competitive edge to the game, and it keeps me coming back for more.
The daily, monthly, and yearly leaderboards for both the biggest wins and highest multipliers give me different goals to chase.
I particularly enjoy the stats tab, which lets me see the results of the last 500 rounds. It feeds my inner data nerd and helps me spot trends.
While the leaderboards aren’t groundbreaking, they definitely add an extra layer of excitement.
Mobile Gambling Experience
When it comes to mobile play, High Flyer really shines in some key areas. The lightning-fast load times are a godsend, especially when I’m trying to squeeze in a quick game during my commute.
I’ve had no issues playing on spotty connections, which is a huge plus in my book. The lack of lag is crucial for a crash game, and High Flyer delivers on this front.
While I miss having the leaderboard on mobile, I understand the trade-off for a smoother small-screen experience.
The 5 seconds before the Av..High Flyer plane takes off is ideal to place my bets.
However, I do have one gripe: the Auto Cashout toggle’s placement.
It’s a bit too close to the second betting button for my liking, leading to some occasional misclicks.
Gameplay Options
As with every crash game review, the gameplay options define if the game will rank high on my watch or if it’ll be just another plane game (pun intended).
Manual Mode
In manual mode, which is the default setting, I find myself in full control of my gameplay in High Flyer. I can set my bet amount as low as $0.10, which I find more accessible than, let’s say–Big Bass Crash–which starts at $1.
The thrill comes from deciding when to cash out before the crash, with a minimum multiplier of 1.01x. While I doubt anyone would cash out that low, it’s nice to have the option.
I appreciate that my settings from the last round are saved by default–it’s a real time-saver, especially on mobile.
Thank goodness for the settings-saving feature. It would be a pain to reset everything each time.
The dual betting lines in manual mode can be a bit challenging to manage, but I guess “the more, the better” isn’t applicable everywhere, right?
However, I do find myself wishing for a “Repeat” button that would automatically place both my bets. It’s a small ask, but it can be a game-changer!
While I enjoy the hands-on approach of manual mode in High Flyer, I can’t help but compare it to other crash games I’ve played. The lack of advanced features like those in Crash by Betfury is noticeable.
Auto Mode
I find High Flyer’s auto mode to be a nice balance of automation and engagement. It’s pretty cool that I can set one betting line to auto while keeping the other manual.
I get to enjoy the thrill of manual play while having some winnings. It’s like having a safety net while still walking the tightrope.
The maximum of 100 auto rounds is decent enough for a typical session, though I can’t help but compare it to Speed Crash by Hacksaw Gaming, which offers 500.
Still, I rarely find myself needing more than 100 rounds in one go.
I do appreciate the flexibility of the auto mode. It allows me to experiment with different strategies without constant manual input.
However, I’m a bit disappointed that the Auto Cashout is capped at 100x. While no one expects Pragmatic to add 100,000X, at least 1,000X would be a nice addition.
But I get it–some crash players do want to take control at high altitudes.
Pros and Cons
Of course, all crash games–High Flyer is no exception–have their pros and cons. I doubt you’ll ever find a game that can pass the test of time with flying colors.
That’s why I came up with a list of some advantages and disadvantages that I believe are present here.
Here are some things I liked a lot in High Flyer by Pragmatic Play:
✅ Low minimum bet ($0.10)
✅ 1,000,000X maximum payout
✅ Great loading speeds
✅ Manual/auto mode available at the same time
✅ Top-notch leaderboard with unique stats
✅ Qualifies for Drops & Wins tournaments
✅ Live chat between players is available
However, I do find some negs :
❌ It’s too similar to Aviator
❌ No real-time provable fairness
Final Thoughts
After testing High Flyer by Pragmatic Play for a few hours, I’m ready with my conclusion. The game is worth a shot.
If you’re betting on a mobile device, you’ll most likely get the best value. It’s well-optimized, and you can mix manual and auto mode, which is pretty cool!
However, it’s not the best option for hardcore crash players. To me, it’s more like an Aviator knockoff than a Pragmatic headliner.
