Astronaut vs Aviator vs Spaceman vs JetX: the crash games people mix up, and Red Tiger's Astronaut
Astronaut by 100HP Gaming, Aviator by Spribe, Spaceman by Pragmatic Play and JetX by SmartSoft Gaming share one recipe: you bet before the launch, a multiplier climbs, and you leave before the crash. A fifth game with the Astronaut name, made by Red Tiger, is not a crash game at all. In Pakistan the first two are searched together about 230 times a month (Ahrefs, 12 October 2026), which is why this guide sets the facts side by side. The status comes first: online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan, and no operator holds a Pakistani licence, for any of these games.
Which game is which?
The table uses the studios’ own pages where we could read them. Astronaut and Aviator figures come from the official game pages and demo clients; for Spaceman and JetX the numbers differ between sources, so read them as a pointer and open the rules of the game you actually play.
| Game | Studio | Genre and look | Declared RTP | Launch | How a round is checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astronaut | 100HP Gaming | Crash; white rocket on a red curve | 98% on the studio’s card | 2025 | Hash before, Salt after, Fairness check |
| Aviator | Spribe | Crash; red plane | 97% on Spribe’s page | January 2019 | Hash of a server seed plus the seeds of the first three bets |
| Spaceman | Pragmatic Play | Crash; cartoon astronaut | 95% on the studio page when read; catalogues list 96.5% | 2022 per catalogues | Not checked by us |
| JetX | SmartSoft Gaming | Crash; jet | About 97%, 96.2–98.9% by operator per catalogues | 2018 or 2019, sources differ | Not checked by us |
| Astronaut (Red Tiger) | Red Tiger | Burst game on one reel with a prize ladder, not crash | A different, lower figure | June 2023 | Not a crash round |
For you: the same word “Astronaut” or “crash” on a page does not tell you which game you are about to open. Look for the studio name in the lobby before you read any number on the page.
What does the gap in RTP cost you in rupees?
RTP is the share of staked money a game returns over a very long run, so every point is a price. For every Rs 100,000 that passes through a game, the expected loss is the missing percentage of it.
| Declared RTP | Expected loss per Rs 100,000 staked | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| 98% | Rs 2,000 | Astronaut, studio’s card |
| 97% | Rs 3,000 | Aviator, Spribe’s page; JetX catalogue figure |
| 96.5% | Rs 3,500 | Spaceman, catalogue sites |
| 95% | Rs 5,000 | Spaceman, the figure on the studio page when we read it |
The gap between 98% and 95% is two and a half times the expected loss. It is also not final: 100HP tells operators it can adjust RTP, and Spribe’s demo client hides the RTP line, so the rules at your casino decide. See what 98% means over 100 rounds for the arithmetic. For you: compare the figure that the casino shows, not the figure on a comparison page.
How do Astronaut and Aviator differ on the screen?
Same genre, different controls. These rows were read in the two official demo clients on 12 October 2026.
| Feature | Astronaut (100HP) | Aviator (Spribe) |
|---|---|---|
| Button that leaves the round | Withdraw | Cash Out |
| Automatic exit | Autowithdrawal per panel; default 2.00x, field clamped to 1–100x | Auto Cash Out in an Auto tab, with a stop-if setting |
| Two bets | Two panels side by side | Second panel added with a plus sign |
| Demo balance | $10,000 | 30,000 USD in “fun mode” |
| Demo bet range | $0.10 to $150 per panel | 0.10 to 100 USD |
| Maximum payout per bet (demo) | $10,000; the game warns you near it | 10,000 USD; the game cashes you out on reaching it |
| Maximum multiplier | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| Free bets | Operator promo codes (voucher, freeBet, secondChance bet types) | Free Bets, Rain and Challenges |
| Volatility | Very High on the studio’s card | Not declared |
For you: in Pakistan “withdraw” also means taking money out of a casino account, so Astronaut’s Withdraw button and Autowithdrawal field are not a payout to a wallet. The client v2 guide goes through both fields.
How do you recognise Red Tiger’s Astronaut?
Red Tiger Gaming released its Astronaut in June 2023 as a burst game on a single reel, with a Prize Ladder, Green and Red Crystals, a Golden Shield and an Advanced Mode. The 48,000x top prize belongs to Red Tiger’s game, and so does its hit rate of 9.86%. Neither number describes 100HP’s crash game, yet affiliate pages mix them freely.
- Look at the picture.A rocket on a rising curve with a multiplier counter is 100HP’s game. A ladder of prizes and crystals is Red Tiger’s.
- Find the studio name in the lobby.Casinos list the provider under the game tile; “100HP Gaming” means the crash game.
- Open the rules.A crash game explains Bet and Withdraw before the launch; a burst game explains reels and prize steps.
- Look for the Provably fair badge.Astronaut by 100HP shows a Hash and a Salt per round; a slot has no such pair.
Want to see which Astronaut you get?
The partner casino lists Astronaut by 100HP Gaming as a crash game, an offshore operator’s product, and its welcome bonus is 600% up to Rs 3,000,000. No APK, plays in the browser · 18+ · Not legal or regulated in Pakistan · Play responsibly.
Play Astronaut with the bonusIs Astronaut a copy of Spaceman?
No. Both put an astronaut theme on a crash round, but they come from different studios with different controls. Pragmatic Play describes Spaceman with a cashout button, custom auto-cashout and a 50% auto-cashout limit; Astronaut has two bet panels, each with its own Autobet and Autowithdrawal. An operator guidebook that we found mixes the two games on one page, which is a reason to check the studio before trusting a guide.
For you: do not carry a setting, a limit or a fairness claim from one game to the other. The only shared rule is the genre’s: the longer you wait for a multiplier, the more rounds crash first.
How should a player in Pakistan compare crash games?
Compare what you can verify, in this order:
- The studio’s own page. A declared RTP and a launch year printed by the studio beat a catalogue figure.
- The rules screen at your casino. It shows the RTP line and the bet range that apply to your money.
- The fairness tool. Astronaut gives you a Hash and a Salt; open one finished round and check it, as in the real-or-fake guide.
- The status where you live. It is the same for all of them, since online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan; the NCCIA’s list of 46 apps of 22 August 2025 named an Aviator app among its entries, and the coverage we read did not name Astronaut, which proves nothing either way. See the legal-status guide.
What should you do next?
Open the demo of the game you actually mean and compare it with the screens in this guide, then read who 100HP Gaming is and which Astronaut versions exist. The numbers behind the RTP row are in the RTP guide, and a step-by-step first round is in the kaise khele walkthrough.
Which sources back these numbers?
- Astronaut game card on 100hp.game — RTP 98%, Very High volatility, “Launched in 2025”, crash category.
- official 100HP demo page — the official demo wrapper, $10,000 play balance.
- client v2 of the official demo — interface strings, limits and configuration read on 12 October 2026.
- Spribe’s Aviator page and official demo client, read 12 October 2026 (RTP 97%, 30,000 USD fun balance, 0.10–100 USD bets, 10,000 USD maximum win).
- Red Tiger, redtiger.com/games/astronaut, and SlotCatalog, 12 October 2026.
- Pragmatic Play, game page of Spaceman, read 12 October 2026; catalogue sites for Spaceman and JetX (figures vary between sources).
- Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, Pakistan, 12 October 2026 (astronaut game aviator 80, online aviator 100, astronaut aviator game 50 monthly searches).
Figures for Astronaut and Aviator were read on the studios’ pages and in their demo clients on 12 October 2026. Spaceman and JetX figures are indicative: the studio page or a catalogue, whichever we could read.
What else do players ask about Astronaut and the other crash games?
Is Astronaut the same game as Aviator?
No. Astronaut is made by 100HP Gaming and launched in 2025, with a declared RTP of 98% and a Withdraw button. Aviator is made by Spribe, launched in January 2019, with a declared 97% and a Cash Out button. They share the crash genre and nothing else, which is why about 230 Pakistani searches a month use both names.
Which has the higher RTP, Astronaut or Aviator?
On their own pages, Astronaut declares 98% and Aviator 97%, a difference of Rs 1,000 per Rs 100,000 staked. That gap can vanish: 100HP lets operators adjust RTP, and the Aviator demo hides its RTP line, so the rules screen at your casino is the only figure that applies to your money.
Is Spaceman the same as Astronaut?
No. Spaceman is a Pragmatic Play crash game with a cartoon astronaut; its game page shows RTP 95%, while catalogue sites list 96.5%. Astronaut is 100HP’s rocket game with two bet panels. Operator guidebooks sometimes mix the two, so check the studio name in the lobby before you use a guide’s numbers.
Is Red Tiger’s Astronaut also a crash game?
No. It is a burst game on one reel, released in June 2023, with a Prize Ladder, crystals and a Golden Shield. Its 48,000x top prize is Red Tiger’s number, and pages that print it next to 100HP’s Astronaut are wrong. 100HP publishes no maximum multiplier, only a maximum payout per bet.
Why do pages confuse Astronaut with Aviator?
Because they are the two best-known rocket-and-plane crash games, and search data shows the overlap: Ahrefs counts 80 monthly searches in Pakistan for “astronaut game aviator”, 100 for “online aviator” and 50 for “astronaut aviator game”. The confusion has a price, since RTP, buttons and fairness tools differ.
