SmartSoft Gaming makes crash-style and arcade games built to work on phones and tablets. SmartSoft Gaming was founded in 2015 and holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority and Romania's ONJN. This guide looks at three of its best mobile titles, what each one plays like, and which kind of player each suits.
Why mobile matters for crash games
Most mobile casino players now use a phone or tablet, and crash games are one of the formats that suit that best. A round lasts seconds, the screen needs only a bet field, a multiplier and a cash-out button, and the whole game works with one thumb. That makes load speed, a clear layout on a small screen and a cash-out button that responds instantly more important than graphics. SmartSoft's titles are built in HTML5, so they run in a mobile browser or a casino app on Android and iOS without a download.
Apollo 77: a space-themed crash game
Apollo 77 puts the crash format in space. A rocket launches with a rising multiplier, and you cash out before it explodes.
- Game type: crash game from SmartSoft Gaming
- Theme: space exploration
- How a round works: place your bet, watch the rocket climb, and tap cash out before it explodes
On a phone
- HTML5 build that runs in the browser on Android and iOS
- Light interface that loads on 4G and Wi-Fi
- Touch controls for a quick cash-out
- Portrait layout for one-handed play
What sets Apollo 77 apart
- Real-time animation of the rocket keeps each round easy to follow
- A clean screen with few distractions
- Works for both small and larger stakes
Apollo 77 suits short phone sessions and players who like simple, fast crash rounds with a theme. Check the game's info screen for its RTP at your casino before you play.
Balloon: a minimalist crash game
Balloon by SmartSoft is a stripped-back crash game. A balloon rises with the multiplier until it pops, and you cash out before it does.
- RTP: 96.5%
- Volatility: medium
- Bets: $0.10 to $75 per round
- Released: 2021
How to play
- Place your bet before the balloon starts to rise.
- Watch the multiplier climb in real time.
- Tap cash out before the balloon bursts.
Each round lasts a few seconds and there is almost nothing to learn, which makes Balloon a good first crash game.
On a phone
- One-tap cash-out button
- Portrait mode for one-handed play
- Fast loading and smooth animation
- Simple graphics that work on slower connections
The clear design stays readable on a small screen, and the medium volatility and low minimum bet make it easy to play short sessions on a modest budget.
Cricket X: a crash game with a sports theme
Cricket X gives the crash format a cricket theme. A batsman runs while the multiplier rises, and you tap to cash out before the round ends.
- RTP: 96.7%
- Volatility: high
- Bets: $0.20 to $150 per round
- Released: 2021
On a phone
- Layout that adapts to smaller screens in portrait mode
- Light graphics for fast load times
- A large, touch-friendly cash-out button
- Smooth real-time animation
What makes Cricket X stand out
- Real-time multiplier tracking
- Cricket visuals for sports fans
- A wide bet range for different budgets
- Instant feedback on every round
Cricket X suits players who accept bigger swings in return for bigger possible wins. Its high volatility means a smaller stake relative to your bankroll is the safer approach.
Apollo 77, Balloon and Cricket X compared
| Game | Theme | RTP | Volatility | Bets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apollo 77 | Rocket launch in space | See game info | See game info | Varies by casino |
| Balloon | Balloon that climbs until it pops | 96.5% | Medium | $0.10 to $75 |
| Cricket X | Cricket batsman running with a rising multiplier | 96.7% | High | $0.20 to $150 |
Cricket X has the higher RTP of the two games with a published figure, 96.7% against Balloon's 96.5%, but it is also rated high volatility, so expect longer runs without a cashout at bigger targets. Balloon's lower minimum bet makes it the easier choice for a small budget.
How SmartSoft designs for mobile
SmartSoft builds its mobile casino games in HTML5, so they run on both iOS and Android with quick load times. The layouts are simple and work in portrait or landscape, and the controls are sized for touch. The focus is on short sessions: one bet, one decision, a result in seconds.
Apollo 77 suits players who want a fast, themed crash game. Balloon is the simplest of the three and the easiest on a small budget. Cricket X brings a sports theme and bigger swings. If you like the format, SmartSoft also makes JetX, JetX3, FootballX and Plinko X.
