Game Overview

If you’re a fan of Crash games, and let’s be honest, there are quite a few out of you there who enjoy simple and quick casino gaming, I have another one for you to check out. The game’s name gives it away, but there’s no plane this time; instead, you’re watching a balloon inflate, increasing a win multiplier as it goes. I’m not sure many of you really care what the object is in these games, but if you are tired of planes, you might appreciate seeing something else for a change. Smartsoft Gaming’s Balloon has an RTP that can reach as high as 98%, and the maximum win possible is 10,000x the stake.

As with all crash games, the premise is simple on Balloon, as your only job is to attempt to collect a payout before the Balloon inevitably pops. It could pop immediately or at any time up until that maximum win multiplier is reached. Do you take a small win and be happy with a profit, or do you get a bit greedy and go for the big wins but ultimately fail more often than not? If the balloon pops before you collect the win, you lose your stake. 

Rather than risking real cash trying out this crash game from Smartsoft Gaming, I recommend you play the Balloon demo below. You can get to grips with the game and have a few practice games without risking real money.

Crash Games have become quite popular, mainly because of their simplicity and the fact players can enjoy fast-paced action. We’ve reviewed quite a few of these games now, and among the demos that attract the most traffic are Spribe’s award-winning Aviator, which can pay up to 200x the stake, and SmartSoft’s hit release JetX, which has a huge 25,000x max win. 

What I like about Balloon compared to those titles is that you have a bit more control over the action, as you control how much you inflate the balloon. You click and hold the button to make the balloon grow larger in size, and let go when you’re ready to collect your winnings.  

You can wager between €0.10 and €100.00 per round on Balloon and adjust those bets using the slider buttons to cycle the 0.10, 0.50, 1.00, 5.00, 10.00, 50.00, and 100.00 preset stakes. So, whether you’re trying the game out with a smaller balance or have lots of funds to play with, there will be a stake suitable to match your budget.

Gameplay

There’s nothing confusing about the gameplay on Balloon, as all you have to do is select your favoured bet and start pumping the button. You can only place one bet per round, which some may find disappointing, as on JetX, for example, you can place two, giving you the option to mix up your strategy. You can check recent results to see how high the multipliers have gone before and look at your own betting history to help determine your strategy for the next round.

Pros

  • A 10,000x the stake maximum win is good for a crash game. 
  • A welcome break from flying crash games.

Cons

  • You can only place one bet.

Balloon Review Final Thoughts

Balloon is a well-presented crash game that not only gives you a welcome break from the flying style of titles in this niche but also offers you a little more control over how far you're prepared to risk your money as you have complete control over the inflation of the balloon. If you're seeking something different in this genre, Balloon is worth some of your time.
