How to read the numbers. Google Trends does not give search counts. It gives a score from 0 to 100. On the country lists, 100 is the top country for that term. On the chart over time, 100 is the highest month for any of the terms: “aviator game” in July 2024. A score of 50 means half as much interest as the top.

⚠️ What this search data cannot tell you
- Scores, not counts. Every number here is a score from 0 to 100. We cannot say how many people searched.
- Small countries swing. A small country needs fewer searches to score high. Its score can jump a lot from month to month.
- Spelling matters. We tracked set phrases. People who spell a name another way, or search in another language, are not counted.
- VPNs move people. Some people use a VPN. Their searches may count under another country.
- No money data. Search interest says nothing about how much people bet or lose. It does not show how many people play.
A search is not the same as playing. Some people search to learn about the game, scams or the law. Rules differ by country, as our crash game regulation guide explains.
🧮 How we did this study
We used Google Trends. The date range was 1 January 2019 to 21 October 2026, with one data point per month. We pulled the data on 21 October 2026.
- Terms, exactly as typed: “aviator game”, “chicken road game”, “jetx”, “aviator predictor” and “aviator signals”.
- Settings: worldwide, web search, all categories, monthly.
- Scores: Google Trends gives an index from 0 to 100, not search counts.
- Over time: all five terms on one scale. 100 is “aviator game” in July 2024, the top month for any of them.
- By country: each term on its own. 100 is the country where that term makes up the biggest share of all searches.
- Predictor against game: each term’s share of the five terms in each country, from 2019 to 2026. We only list countries where the two together came to at least 20%.
- Part month: October 2026 runs to the 21st only.
We left three terms out. “crash game” is mixed up with car crash games and Crash Bandicoot, so it does not track gambling. “chicken road” without “game” had a steady score of about 10 back to 2019, before the casino game existed in 2024. “spaceman game” was too small to chart, apart from Lesotho and Cambodia.
We also left St. Helena and Martinique out of the rankings. Both have tiny populations, which pushes their scores up. St. Helena has about 4,400 people.
