The first thing I’ll say about Avia Masters is that it doesn’t behave like most pokies I review. There are no reels, no paylines and no spin button in the traditional sense. Instead, Spinomenal has built an instant, crash-style multiplier game where a plane climbs across the screen and your payout grows with it, right up until the moment it flies off and the round ends. If you’ve come across Aviator by Spribe, the concept will feel familiar, but Avia Masters has its own interface and its own pacing.
Playing it at the casino, what stood out to me straight away was how little there was to learn before placing a bet. You set a stake, hit go, and then the only decision that matters is when to cash out. That simplicity is either going to appeal to you immediately or leave you wanting more depth, and I think that split is worth understanding before you commit any real money to it.
If you want to see how the multiplier curve moves and get a feel for the cash-out timing before staking anything, the free demo on WinPockets lets you do exactly that with virtual credits.
How to Play Avia Masters
Before each round starts, you choose your stake using the bet panel, then confirm your wager while the countdown to the next round is running. Once the round begins, a small plane lifts off from the bottom of the screen and a multiplier ticks upward in real time, starting at 1.00x and climbing for as long as the plane stays airborne.
Your only job is to hit “Cash Out” before the plane disappears. If you cash out while the plane is still climbing, your win is calculated as your stake multiplied by whatever the counter shows at that exact moment. If you don’t act before the plane flies off, the round ends, your stake is lost, and a new round begins after a short break.
Avia Masters also lets you place two bets in the same round through separate betting panels, each with its own stake and its own cash-out point. I found this useful for setting one conservative auto cash-out and leaving the second bet to run further, rather than having to choose a single strategy for the whole round.
Gameplay & Winning Combinations
There’s no traditional “winning combination” here because there’s no grid of symbols to line up. Instead, the entire game is built around a single continuous multiplier that starts at 1.00x and rises until the round ends unpredictably. Every round is independent, and the multiplier at which the plane flies away is generated fresh each time, so there’s no pattern to read into previous rounds no matter how the history bar looks.
What this means practically is that your result depends entirely on timing rather than symbol combinations. Cash out early and you lock in a smaller, safer multiplier. Wait longer and the potential return increases, but so does the chance the plane leaves before you’ve clicked. I found this genuinely different from working out paylines or cluster wins in a standard pokie — there’s a real-time decision to make on every single round rather than a static outcome revealed after a spin.
Symbols
Because Avia Masters isn’t built on a reel set, there isn’t a conventional paytable of high and low symbols to walk through. The visual language of the game does most of the same job that symbols usually do in a pokie, though, so it’s worth knowing what you’re actually looking at.
The plane itself is the central element — its position on the climbing curve is a direct visual representation of your current multiplier, and watching it accelerate is what creates the tension in each round. Alongside it sits the multiplier counter, which is the number you’re really playing against rather than any character or icon. A history strip along the top of the screen shows the multipliers from recent rounds, which I found handy for getting a feel for how volatile the game can be, even though it has no bearing on what happens next.
There’s no Wild or Scatter in Avia Masters, and no bonus symbols to collect. The absence of these familiar pokie elements is one of the clearest signs that this is a different type of game wearing a similar interface.
Bonus Features
Avia Masters doesn’t have Free Spins, expanding reels or a separate bonus round in the way a conventional video pokie does. Its “features” are really tools that shape how you interact with the core multiplier mechanic, and they matter more than they might first appear.
Auto Cash Out
You can set a target multiplier before a round begins, and if the plane is still airborne when the counter reaches that value, the game cashes your bet out automatically. This removes the need to react manually and takes some of the reflex pressure out of the game. I liked having this available because it let me commit to a plan rather than second-guessing myself mid-round, though it also means you’re locking in a fixed target rather than reading how any single round is developing.
Double Bet
Running two simultaneous bets in the same round, each with an independent stake and cash-out setting, is the closest thing Avia Masters has to a strategic layer. In practice, this lets you treat one bet as a smaller, earlier cash-out and the other as a higher-risk position you let run longer. It’s a simple addition, but it’s the feature that gives the game most of its replay value once the novelty of the basic mechanic wears off.
Round History
The scrolling history of past multipliers doesn’t change any outcome, since every round is generated independently, but it’s a feature Spinomenal has clearly included to help players gauge how the game has been trending in that session. I’d treat it as background information rather than something to base a cash-out decision on.
RTP & Volatility
Avia Masters carries a return to player of 96.00%, which sits close to what I’d consider a standard configuration for this type of instant, crash-style game. RTP here works the same way it does in any pokie: it’s a theoretical figure calculated over a very large number of rounds, not something that tells you anything about the next bet you place.
Volatility is rated high, and in a game like this, that classification makes a lot of sense once you understand how the multiplier is generated. Because the crash point is unpredictable and unbounded on the low end (rounds can end almost immediately after they start), returns are distributed unevenly — you can string together several modest cash-outs, then watch a round end before you’ve had a chance to act. That volatility isn’t a flaw in the game; it’s the entire point of a mechanic built around risk timing rather than fixed paytable outcomes.
Maximum Win
The maximum win on Avia Masters is capped at 10,000x your stake, which represents the highest multiplier the round can theoretically reach before ending. In a game with no bonus round or multiplier trail to build toward, this ceiling is really just the outer limit of how long a single round’s curve can run before the plane departs.
It’s worth being realistic about what that number represents. Reaching anywhere near that multiplier means holding your nerve through an extremely long climb, and the same mechanic that makes 10,000x mathematically possible is what makes most rounds end well before it.
Theme, Graphics & Sound
The presentation is minimal by design. There’s a simple sky backdrop, a stylised plane, and an interface built almost entirely around the bet panels and the multiplier counter. There’s no storyline, no character symbols and no thematic dressing beyond the aviation concept implied by the name and the visual of the plane climbing away.
I don’t think Avia Masters is trying to compete with narrative-driven pokies on presentation, and it doesn’t need to. The sound design leans into short cues — a rising tone as the multiplier climbs, a distinct sound when the plane departs — which does a reasonable job of building tension without relying on music or animation to carry the experience. It’s a functional, uncluttered interface rather than an especially memorable one.

The interface translates well to a smaller screen because there’s so little visual clutter to begin with. The bet panels sit clearly below the multiplier display, and the Double Bet layout still fits without feeling cramped in portrait orientation. Because there are no reels to scale down, readability isn’t an issue in the way it can be with symbol-heavy video pokies on a phone.
Our Verdict
Avia Masters is an easy game to understand and a harder one to categorise as a straightforward “pokie” in the traditional sense. There’s no reel set, no paylines and no Wild or Scatter doing the usual work — the entire experience rests on one multiplier curve and your willingness to cash out before it disappears. I think that’s the game’s biggest strength and its biggest limitation at the same time.
The Double Bet option gives it a bit more depth than a plain single-bet crash game, and the Auto Cash Out setting is a sensible inclusion for anyone who doesn’t want to rely on reaction speed. The 96.00% RTP is in line with what I’d expect from this style of game, and the high volatility is baked directly into how the multiplier behaves rather than being a marketing label attached after the fact.
I’d point the free demo toward players who like a fast, repetitive format and enjoy the tension of a live decision each round, rather than players looking for bonus rounds, symbol variety or a theme to sink into. If you prefer the structure of a conventional video pokie with Free Spins and a paytable to study, Avia Masters is likely to feel too stripped back for your taste.
