Navigator

Navigator Introduction

Navigator cuts a line between the purposely basic graphics of Crash MetaWin and more animation-heavy crash games like Maverick. For fans of the popular Aviator crash, the overall feel and mechanics of Navigator will be familiar.

But there is no flying plane here; instead, you'll see a spaceship animation that is on its smooth curve, showing multipliers. It is a fun twist on the graph mechanic that underpins all crash games. And as you know, our alien visitors won't be staying for long, so you'll need to cash out before they fly off to the moon.

There's no doubt that the game design is aiming for subtle visuals, but the almost neon styling of the UFO does add an arcade-style feel. And that old-school look fits the overall dynamic of the crash game genre really well. The audio is equally minimal, but beware of the jump scare of a sharp, twirling sound when the saucer flies away.

The game interface is simple, with the betting window below and game results on the left. And those results are good for checking historical outcomes and accompany the provably fair system. There is also a ticker at the top of the game that shows multiplier results from previous rounds. Because all gameplay is on the blockchain, you can track results in real-time and deposit and withdraw with quick-wallet access.

How to Play Navigator

Navigator is a crash game in the purest form and will be familiar to players who already enjoy this genre of casino game. And for beginners, crash games are really simple, and you can start playing with confidence in just a few minutes.

Gameplay focuses on a single mechanic, which is a multiplier that curves upwards and constantly grows. We found in our Navigator review that the multiplier point of the curve is shown as a spaceship. This multiplier increases until the spaceship flies away to the moon and the round ends. Players place a bet and then choose when to cash out.

If you manage to cash out before the spaceship flies off, you will win the multiplier amount against your stake. But if the spaceship flies away before you cash out, the multiplier crashes and you lose your bet. It's the sort of either/or dynamics that offers simple gambling decisions and has become a cornerstone of crypto-friendly games.

Because the game is running on-chain, the lightweight design and simple gameplay suit low-latency performance. Follow the steps below to start playing Navigator at MetaWin Casino.

1. MetaWin is a crypto-first Web3 casino that allows direct pseudonymous access and direct deposits from wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask. Players who are new to crypto can buy tokens using debit cards through our MoonPay integration for bridge payments.
2. Navigator can be found in the MetaWin Originals lobby alongside 25 other on-chain games with provably fair systems. Click the game thumbnail to load it up.
3. Once the game opens, you'll see bet windows sitting below the main multiplier display. This is where you can set manual or auto bets between $0.10 and $100. Denominations are shown in fiat currencies for convenience, but internally they are equivalent crypto tokens.
4. When you make your bet, the spaceship multiplier takes off and begins its journey, with multipliers ranging from 0.1x to 9,999x.
5. You now choose when to cash out of your bet. If you can do this before the UFO zooms away, you'll win the bet, but if it leaves before you cash out, you lose all of your stake. So, if you bet $10 and cash out on a multiplier of 5x, you'll win $50 in crypto equivalent.

Bonus Features

There are no Navigator bonus rounds because the game focuses on simplicity and pure gambling choices. But there are still cool features that enhance the overall experience.

1. Auto betting: Auto betting is a very good choice if you plan to play over a long session. It can be a hassle and time-consuming to manually reload bets after every round. With the auto feature, you can set direct rules such as the bet amount and when the game will automatically cash out if the multiplier reaches a specific number. And you'll be able to turn off auto mode at any point, just in case you want to readjust or stop altogether.
2. Provably fair: Like all of the in-house Originals on MetaWin Casino, Navigator was built with Web3 iGaming in mind. This means it uses a provably fair system that records all game results and allows you to check them in real-time. Each round has a server seed and a client seed that sets the result of the random multiplier before the game starts. It is not possible for you, MetaWin, or the operator to influence this outcome. When a round is over, you can use the hash from the seeds to check and verify the multiplier result.
3. Live Stats: Crypto casino players often have an investor mindset and want to be able to track what they spend. This is especially true for players with multi-purpose Web3 wallets. Navigator has a Live Stats menu that shows how much you have spent over a session, alongside the number of wins/losses, and overall profit. This is a handy tool for responsible gambling.

Symbols and Paytable

Navigator by MetaWin has a house edge of 3% (and, as a result, a 97% RTP), but that does not tell the full story of how gameplay works. Most results fall within that range, with usual outcomes within 0.1x and 10x multiplier. If you cash out more often within this range, you will play close to the house edge.

But the bigger wins are from multipliers that go beyond 10x, but these are rarer, which makes the volatility higher, too. But make no mistake, careful betting amounts and cashing out strategically can lead to big payouts. And the maximum potential win on Navigator is an impressive $250,000.

Tips for Playing Navigator

Because every result on Navigator is set before the round begins, there is nothing you can do to guarantee wins or change outcomes. But what you can do is follow the simple tips below to maintain your bankroll and make the most of the game.

1. Navigator gameplay decisions are easy; you just need to choose when to cash out. But big-stakes plays are very risky because you can eat into your bankroll on a single round that crashes before you cash out. Steady bet amounts that pace your bankroll for a longer session are much better.
2. The Auto-play feature makes playing over longer sessions much easier. We recommend using it if you plan on playing even more than 10 rounds in a row. But remember to set the bet limit and cashout parameters to match your bankroll.
3. If you do win playing Navigator, you can withdraw winnings almost instantly thanks to direct Web3 wallet integration on MetaWin. We charge zero platform fees. Standard network gas fees may apply on your wallet side.
4. When you're betting with Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptos, remember that the value fluctuates even if the game shows fixed fiat currencies. If you prefer to lock the game currency to your crypto value, consider stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
5. Keep responsible gambling at the center of your activity. Set a budget of money you can afford to lose and stick to it. If you use your Web3 wallet for various investments/purchases, consider creating a separate wallet for your gambling activity.
