Among the most-searched crash games alongside Aviator is Spaceman by Pragmatic Play: an astronaut lifting off as the multiplier grows, and a cash-out to time before he flies away. It is the biggest slot provider's answer to the crash-game phenomenon. This guide explains how it works and what sets it apart.
In one line: Spaceman is Pragmatic Play's crash game — an astronaut rises, the multiplier grows, you cash out before he flies off. Declared RTP 96.50%, dual cash-out. Same maths as Aviator: no predictor beats the algorithm.
How Spaceman Works
- Bet: you set the amount before the round.
- Flight: the astronaut rises and the multiplier grows progressively.
- Cash-out: you collect whenever you want; Spaceman allows a partial cash-out to withdraw part while letting the rest run.
- Crash: if the astronaut flies off before you collect, you lose the stake.
As in all crash games, the outcome is generated by a verifiable algorithm before the round: it does not depend on your bet.

The Partial Cash-out: What Changes
Spaceman's twist is the ability to collect part of the stake at a low multiplier while letting the rest run. It does not change RTP: it is a volatility management tool, not a mathematical edge. It lets you "insure" part of the round, narrowing the swings.
Why Predictors Do Not Work
Each round's outcome is fixed before the bet by a provably fair algorithm. No app or "signal" has access to it. Anyone selling predictors exploits player bias: more in our guide on predictors.
Bankroll Management
- Use the partial cash-out to contain variance if you need duration.
- Set an auto cash-out to remove emotion from the critical moment.
- Do not chase and set a session limit.
