How does the crash game algorithm work?

Crash games use a SHA-256 hash chain to pre-generate all results before any bets are placed. The casino builds millions of game hashes by repeatedly hashing a server seed, then plays the rounds in reverse order. Each hash is converted to a crash point using the formula: crash_point = max(1, floor(99 / (1 - value))), where value comes from the first 8 characters of the hash. The constant 99 represents a 1% house edge (some casinos use 97 for a 3% edge). Because results are locked in advance and independently verifiable by any player, this system is called provably fair. As of July 2026, this is the standard algorithm across all major crash games.
