The best HelicopterX strategy is a flat stake with auto cash out at 1.5x–2x, run on auto bet with clear stop rules. SmartSoft’s helicopter crash game climbs from 1.00x until it goes down, and at a 97% RTP it reaches 2x in about 48.5% of rounds. It’s huge in the US right now and plays fast on mobile, so hands-free settings are the way to go. No trick can see the crash point, so your plan does the work. Part of our crash game strategy guide.

HelicopterX win chances

Auto cash out Win chance £5 returns
1.5x 64.7% £7.50
2x 48.5% £10
3x 32.3% £15
10x 9.7% £50

Use the cash out calculator for any other target. It’s made by SmartSoft, the studio behind JetX, and plays much the same way.

The 2x auto bet plan

Set £5, auto cash out at 2x, and run 100 rounds. We simulated exactly that 10,000 times from a £250 budget: median finish £230, best 10% at £300 or more, worst 10% at £170, and zero busts. That’s why the fixed auto cash out strategy is our go-to for fast games.

Want more upside?

Drop the main target to 1.5x and add a small side bet at 10x where your casino lets you stack bets. It’s the same idea as the dual bet strategy in Aviator. For pure big-multiplier hunting, read chasing high multipliers first.

Settings to avoid

Auto bet with “increase on loss” is Martingale in disguise. Our Martingale strategy test busted about half of 100-round sessions. Keep “on loss” at reset.

Pro tip: set stop-on-profit before you hit start. Auto bet is fast, and the stop rule is what banks the win.
