Evoplay expands crash game portfolio with Avia Rush

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Avia Rush, a high-energy crash title designed to deliver excitement and strong engagement.
Set against a cosmic backdrop, Avia Rush challenges players to board a rising shuttle and hold on as multipliers climb.
The objective is to cash out at the right moment. The longer players wait, the greater the potential reward. However, if the shuttle crashes before cashing out, all winnings are lost.
The game features tools that enhance gameplay and keep players coming back. The Crash History bar offers insights into recent rounds, while Dual Betting allows two bets simultaneously, each with different strategies. Auto Cash Out and Auto Play functions provide flexibility for every type of player.
Adding a social and competitive layer, Avia Rush includes a Top 100 Leaderboard tracking daily, monthly, and yearly performance, alongside an in-game Chat feature that brings the community together during each round.
With a max win of 1,000x the bet, mobile-first design, and fast-paced format, Avia Rush is a strong addition to any operator’s instant game portfolio.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Avia Rush is all about quick decisions, risk, and reward, everything crash players love. We’ve added features like dual betting and leaderboards to make the experience more interactive and competitive.
“It’s a great fit for players who enjoy fast action, and we’re excited to see it take off.”
