JetX and Cricket X are the same game, so pick by feature, not by payout. Both have a 25,000x top multiplier and a EUR 10,000 cash cap. Pick Cricket X for its 50% Collect button, which banks half your bet mid round. Pick JetX for the original, the widest reach and lower auto-collect targets.
The 30-second version
JetX and Cricket X run on the same SmartSoft engine with overlapping RTP bands, the same 25,000x ceiling and the same EUR 10,000 cap. Cricket X adds the one genuine mechanical difference, a 50% Collect button that banks half your bet mid-round. Pick Cricket X for that variance control or the cricket theme; pick JetX for the original flagship, the widest availability and the lowest auto-collect floor.

🏆 Verdict: pick by player, not by maths
Pick Cricket X if you want to bank half a bet mid-round, and pick JetX if you want the widest reach or a very low auto cash-out. Both SmartSoft games share a 25,000x ceiling and overlapping RTP bands, so the maths does not decide it. JetX is live in more than 70 countries. Cricket X stops auto-collect at 1.35x, while JetX goes down close to 1.01x. The table sets out the whole decision.

⚡ JetX and Cricket X share a studio, a licence and a 25,000x ceiling
JetX and Cricket X are the same on almost everything that matters. Both games come from the same Tbilisi studio under the same Malta licence, run the same dual-bet console, share the same 25,000x ceiling and the same EUR 10,000 per-round cap, and accept stakes from about $0.10 to the $100 region depending on the operator. Both are multiplayer, with a live bet feed and chat alongside the round. The only visual difference is what crashes: a jet climbing until it explodes, or a batsman swinging until he is bowled. Operator-side extras such as the Galaxy Jackpot appear on some JetX lobbies, but those are promotions layered on top, not game maths, and SmartSoft’s three-bet sibling JetX3 is its own title rather than a feature of this one.
Rounds on both games resolve in seconds, with a short betting window and an instant re-bet. Rounds this short make it easy to play far more, and lose far more, than intended. We cover the research evidence, the risk factors and what regulators are doing in a dedicated guide: crash gambling and player harm.
🔍 Worth noting
You will see JetX quoted flatly as “97%” and Cricket X as “98.8%”, which makes Cricket X look like the better deal. Both numbers are snapshots of a single operator tier. SmartSoft publishes both games as configurable bands, JetX from 96.2% to 98.9% and Cricket X from 96.7% to 98.8%, and the bands overlap. Neither is the higher-RTP game in general: the casino’s configured tier decides, so check the in-game info panel where you play.

⚙️ 50% Collect: the one real difference
Cricket X lets you bank half of a live bet with 50% Collect, and JetX does not. On JetX every cash-out is all or nothing. On Cricket X you can lock in half of your current value mid-round and let the other half ride. This is the one real gameplay difference between the two SmartSoft games. In play it works like this.
Place your stake
Bet in the betting window as normal, on one panel or both. The 50% Collect button only comes alive once the round is moving.
Bank half at your trigger
Press 50% Collect at any point mid-round and half your current value, stake times the live multiplier, locks into your balance on the spot.
Let the rest ride
The remaining half keeps flying to your full cash-out or the crash. Worst case the round busts and you keep what you banked.
💡 Key insight
Banking half reshapes your results without repricing them. You bust outright less often and your big rounds pay less, but the house keeps the same cut of your turnover either way. 50% Collect is a comfort feature, not a value feature, and it is worth having for exactly that reason.
The mechanic has a precedent. Pragmatic Play’s Spaceman shipped a 50% cashout in the same month Cricket X launched, March 2022, with stakes from EUR 1 to EUR 100. The difference is the rest of the toolkit: Spaceman offers the half-out button but no second bet, while Cricket X runs 50% Collect on top of a full dual-bet panel. Among the half-cashout games, Cricket X carries the larger risk-management kit.
📝 For the record: 50% Collect does not appear in SmartSoft’s official Cricket X rules document. It is described and offered at the operator level, where it is consistently documented, so treat the fine print at your casino as the authority on exactly how it behaves there.
🎯 Auto-collect floors: JetX reaches lower
JetX lets you set auto cash-out close to 1.01x, while Cricket X will not go below 1.35x. JetX players free-type a low target for grinding styles. SmartSoft’s own rules set the Cricket X auto-collect floor at 1.35x. If you bank tiny multipliers automatically round after round, Cricket X cannot do it, and you would cash those rounds by hand. For low-target players that one limit outweighs the appeal of 50% Collect.
🛡️ Fairness: certified, not checkable
On fairness the two games are identical, in claim and in limitation. Both carry the provably fair label in their marketing, and neither gives you any way to test a round: there are no server seeds to rotate, no client seeds to set, no hashes to compare after the result. What actually stands behind the label is third-party RNG certification, with test houses including iTech Labs, eCOGRA and Gaming Associates named across SmartSoft’s compliance materials, plus the studio’s Malta licence, MGA/B2B/925/2021. For both titles, fairness is a matter of trusting the certifier and the regulator rather than checking anything yourself. That trust is reasonable for a licensed, lab-tested studio, but if verifying individual rounds is the point for you, this pair is the wrong shelf entirely, and you want a crash game built on player-verifiable seeds instead.

📈 Two markets, one studio
SmartSoft Gaming aims JetX at a global audience and Cricket X at cricket markets, led by India. JetX is live in more than 70 countries and is strongest in Brazil, Africa and Latin America. It holds SiGMA awards from the Africa and Americas events. Cricket X is placed with INR-friendly operators including Parimatch, Megapari and 888starz, and is most visible in the big cricket seasons. SmartSoft Gaming runs both games from the same Tbilisi studio.
The studio’s sponsorship money shows the same split. SmartSoft became a digital sponsor of the Argentine Football Association in October 2023 and upgraded to European regional sponsor in September 2024: football, not cricket. The football budget buys JetX reach across Europe and Latin America while the cricket theme works South Asia on its own, one studio planting a different flag in each market. The same playbook produced the JetX vs Space XY question on the sci-fi side of the shelf, and the answer pattern is the same: SmartSoft multiplies audiences, not mechanics.
“SmartSoft did not build a rival to JetX. It built JetX a second passport.”
❓ Frequently asked questions
Is Cricket X better than JetX?
Mechanically they are near-identical SmartSoft titles with overlapping RTP bands and matching caps. Cricket X adds 50% Collect, the only genuine gameplay difference, while JetX counters with a lower auto-collect floor and far wider availability. Pick by theme, market and risk style, not by maths.
What is 50% Collect in Cricket X?
A mid-round button that instantly banks half your current value, stake times the live multiplier, while the other half keeps flying to your full cash-out or the crash. It is a variance tool: it smooths your results without changing the house edge or your expected return.
Do JetX and Cricket X have the same RTP?
Effectively yes. Both run operator-configurable bands that overlap: JetX from 96.2% to 98.9%, Cricket X from 96.7% to 98.8%. Neither is the higher-RTP game in general; the operator’s configured tier decides, so check the in-game info panel where you play.
Is Cricket X provably fair?
It is marketed that way, but it offers no player-side verification: no seeds to set and no hashes to check. Fairness rests on certified RNG testing by independent labs and on SmartSoft’s Malta licence, exactly as it does for JetX.
Which crash game is best for India?
Cricket X. It was designed for cricket-following markets, is carried by INR-friendly operators including Parimatch, Megapari and 888starz, and peaks in relevance around the major cricket seasons. JetX remains the better pick if you want the global original rather than the localised theme.
