Crash Games News: Hacksaw's Moneyplane, MineIsland 2, AviaX and a New JetX

Crash-game developments from September to late October 2026: Hacksaw Gaming's first crash game Moneyplane, SmartSoft's MineIsland 2 and upgraded JetX, and Maxxi Labs' AviaX, with max wins and features from official sources.

News, published

Crash games, the format made famous by Aviator, keep pulling in new studios. Between September and the end of October 2026, one of the best-known slot studios launched its first crash title, the company that pioneered flying crash games refreshed its flagship, and two new jump-and-fly games appeared. Here is what each official source says.

Hacksaw Gaming enters crash with Moneyplane

On 7 September 2026, Hacksaw Gaming announced Moneyplane, its first crash game. Hacksaw is better known for slots and instant-win games, so this is a new category for the studio.

Moneyplane is built on a new Hacksaw format called Bail2Win. The idea is the familiar one: place a bet before take-off, watch the multiplier rise as a paper plane climbs, and cash out before it crashes. Key points from Hacksaw’s announcement:

  • Max win: 10,000x the bet.
  • RTP: five configurations from 92% to 98%. The casino chooses which one it runs, so check the game’s info screen.
  • Multiplayer: each flight is shared among all players in the round.
  • Multiple bet panels in the same round, with separate Autoplay and Auto Cash Out settings.

Hacksaw’s operational CEO Marcus Cordes called Moneyplane “our first step into the category”. In its monthly round-up published on 12 October, Hacksaw again described the September launch as its “entry into Crash Games”.

Hacksaw Gaming is one of the most widely listed studios in our data. Among the casinos we review, it appears at Stake, Winz.io, Playfina, Bets.io and others. Whether Moneyplane itself is in a given lobby depends on the casino.

SmartSoft: a new JetX and MineIsland 2

SmartSoft, the Georgian studio behind JetX, which it calls the “first-ever flying crash game” (launched in 2018), had two pieces of news this autumn.

New Era of JetX (14 September 2026)

SmartSoft announced an upgraded JetX it calls the New Era of JetX. According to the studio:

  • the game is rebuilt to be 50% lighter and 60% faster, which should help load times on mobile data;
  • operators can offer up to four simultaneous bets per round;
  • it includes SmartSoft’s MEGADROP promotional tool and jackpot options.

MineIsland 2

MineIsland 2 is a sequel to SmartSoft’s jump-based crash game. You guide a kangaroo across floating islands, each with a multiplier. Every jump raises the payout, but an island can collapse before you collect. SmartSoft’s game page lists:

  • Boost: multiplies all remaining prizes by 1.5x to 2.0x;
  • Portal: a second-chance rescue after a fall;
  • three volatility levels and ten multiplier steps;
  • wins of up to 10,000x on Hard mode;
  • Autoplay and Auto Collect.

Unlike shared-flight games, SmartSoft describes MineIsland 2 as single-player, and the round moves at your pace. If you like the step-by-step risk of Mines, this is a close relative.

Among the casinos we review, SmartSoft is listed at Winz.io, 24Casino, Campeonbet, Evobet, Ivibet, Cashy, Immerion, Playfina, Asino, Bruce Bet, Playfast, Cosmoswin, iWild, Granawin, Bitcasino, Stelario, Betandyou, Gunsbet, BetFury, Velobet, 21Bets and Betsomnia.

Maxxi Labs launches AviaX (7 October 2026)

Maxxi Labs’ game page lists AviaX with a release date of 7 October 2026. It is a plane-themed crash game with win potential of up to 10,000x your bet, an RTP of 97.00% and medium volatility. You can place one or two bets per flight and cash out before the plane flies away, and you compete with other players on the same flight. Hindi is among the game’s listed languages. Maxxi Labs is not in the provider lists of the casinos we review.

A note on playing crash games

Crash rounds are fast, and that is exactly what makes them easy to overplay. Features like Auto Cash Out and multiple bet panels are useful for sticking to a plan, but they do not change the odds. The RTP is the long-run share returned to players, so the house keeps the rest over time. Set a session budget and a time limit before you start, and never chase a missed high multiplier. Our Aviator guide explains how crash multipliers and cash-out timing work in more detail.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hacksaw Gaming's first crash game?

Moneyplane, announced on 7 September 2026. It uses Hacksaw's Bail2Win format: you bet before take-off and cash out before the plane crashes. Max win is 10,000x and Hacksaw lists five RTP configurations from 92% to 98%.

What is new in MineIsland 2?

SmartSoft's sequel adds a Boost that multiplies remaining prizes by 1.5x to 2.0x and a Portal that can rescue the kangaroo after a fall. It has three volatility levels, ten multiplier steps and up to 10,000x on Hard mode.

How many bets can I place per round in the new JetX?

SmartSoft says the New Era of JetX lets operators offer up to four simultaneous bets per round.

Are crash games a way to make steady money?

No. Each round is random and the RTP means the game keeps a share of stakes over time. Auto cash-out tools help you stick to a plan, not beat the game. Set a budget before you play.
