Skyward Storm: BetGames launches its most advanced crash game

Skyward Storm is the new release of crash games from BetGames and the third installment in the Skyward series; it combines classic mechanics with new layers of decision-making: Quad Play allows up to four simultaneous bets per round, Lightning Events introduce unexpected multipliers and cuts, and Safe Altitude ensures payouts at specific milestones. The game maintains an RTP of 97% and a maximum multiplier of 100,000x.

How Skyward Storm evolves the Skyward series

The Skyward franchise began with Skyward, which presented BetGames' approach to the crash format. Skyward Deluxe expanded the experience with more social and community features. Skyward Storm retains the core mechanic —following an ascending multiplier and deciding when to cash out— and adds variation within each flight without changing that foundation.

BetGames has developed the new layers around the multiplier to offer more depth without losing the simplicity that makes the crash game easy to understand and fast to play. Adam Lahouiri, Head of Product at BetGames, detailed the development and the goal of providing greater control and unpredictable moments in the game in a conversation with CasinoTrackpot.

Quad Play: more control per round

Quad Play is one of the main innovations of Skyward Storm. The feature allows players to place up to four simultaneous bets within the same round. This opens several strategies:

• set different cash-out targets between bets;

• combine manual betting with Auto Play and Auto Cash-out;

• diversify risk in a single multiplier trajectory.

The functionality adds flexibility without breaking the traditional crash game experience, as the player still sees a single multiplier per flight but can expose several bets to that same cycle.

Lightning Events: unpredictability within the flight (Skyward Storm)

Skyward Storm introduces Lightning Events, occurrences that can alter the active multiplier during a flight. There are two types:

• Lightning Boost, which multiplies the current value by 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x;

• Lightning Strike, which halves the active multiplier.

Up to three Lightning Events can occur in a single round. These events change the direction of a flight unexpectedly and are designed to create dramatic moments without disrupting the natural flow of the game.

Safe Altitude: ensuring payouts at milestones

Safe Altitude links guaranteed payouts to predetermined multiplier milestones. When the multiplier reaches certain heights, players can secure guaranteed payouts even if the flight ends later before they manually cash out. Safe Altitude adds an additional strategic layer and another avenue for managing risk in longer flights.

Social and community features remain central

Skyward Storm retains and expands the social features that characterized Skyward Deluxe. The game includes:

• Leaderboards

• Winboards

• Live Chat

• Jackpot and Prizepot

• Sky Drops

These features allow significant winnings, dramatic flights, and Lightning Events to be shared community moments. Skyward Storm does not aim to turn the crash into a purely individual experience; it integrates personal decisions with real-time interaction.

Performance and key specifications

Skyward Storm offers an RTP of 97% and a theoretical maximum multiplier of 100,000x. These figures, along with Quad Play, Lightning Events, and Safe Altitude, position Skyward Storm as the most feature-rich release of the series to date.

The combination of interaction tools and strategic options seeks to maintain the speed and clarity typical of the format while increasing players' engagement avenues.

What it means for operators and providers

For operators, Skyward Storm means a product with multiple interaction points per round (up to four bets) and high engagement moments from the Lightning Events and community elements. For platform and content providers, integration requires supporting features like multiple betting per round, real-time event management, and associated social and jackpot systems.

The next chapter of the Skyward franchise

As the third installment in one of BetGames' most successful franchises, Skyward Storm represents a technical and design progression: from Skyward to Skyward Deluxe and now to Skyward Storm, the series has expanded options without altering its playable core. The result is a version of the crash game with more strategic depth and unpredictable moments designed to foster community interaction.

The technical and social innovations make each flight a session with more decisions and potential surprises, maintaining the accessibility that characterizes the format.
