Trader - Play Free Demo Game

Start Screen

Trader is one of the newest crash games in Canada. It offers a fun twist on the traditional crash gaming mechanic by mimicking a real-life trading floor. Unlike Aviator, where the value goes up constantly, prices go up and down every second. All you need to do is cash out at a profitable position before the market crashes to $0.

In this guide, I will explain how this mechanic works, the game’s standout features, similar crash games, and everything else that you need to know about playing Trader by Spribe at Canadian online casinos.

Trader is very easy to play. If you’ve ever played crash games, the process is exactly the same. You place a bet (or two) before the round starts. Once it does, your goal is to cash out before the price crashes down to nothing.

Unlike other crash games though, Trader does not have a stable payout mechanism. The potential payout mechanic fluctuates up and down instead of constantly increasing. The fluctuations are unpredictable thanks to random number generators. You just have to hit the cash out button when the price is in the green.

Don’t Be Afraid To Cash Out Early

Crash games like Trader, Aviator, and other Spribe games are so fun because they test your nerves as well as your luck. The longer you stay in, the higher your chances of winning. It doesn’t always work out like that, though. Sometimes the best strategy is to cash out early while you’re still ahead.

Take Your Time

There’s only five seconds between rounds in Trader. Don’t feel pressured to take part in every round. Make sure to take breaks and skip rounds to keep track of your wins and losses before betting too much.

 Remember It’s Random

All casino games are random. You will drive yourself crazy trying to recognise patterns, especially for a game like Trader which relies on you cashing out at the right time to win.

Now that we have covered the basics, let’s get into the actual gameplay elements and Trader rules.

Betting Range

If you are lucky enough to cash out before the crash, your payout will be determined by the market price at the time you hit the cash out button. The price is listed clearly at the top-centre of the screen. For example, if you bet $10 and the market price is 5x, you will win $50 if you cash out.

Game Elements

The most important rule you need to understand is how to win. You cannot win real money playing Trader if you do not hit the cash out button. Trader is not like online slots, where you place a bet and wait to see if you win. You have to participate. If you do not hit the cash out button, you will lose every time. You will also lose if you do not cash out before the market crashes, but that’s unfortunately out of your control.

Win Conditions

The most you can win in one round in 1000x. I’ve never been lucky enough to win that amount, but it is the maximum limit, according to the developers. The maximum limit for bet amounts is $100 and minimum bet is $0.10.

Because trader is such a simple game, there are not a lot of extra features or special mechanics. The standout ones to me are the dual bet feature, auto bet tools, and free bets.

The dual bet especially is nice because it allows me to use some strategy and cash out one wager early, while keeping the other in while I wait for a bigger potential payout. The auto bet feature is good to speed up the game, but it does slightly limit your control, which to me detracts from the game. It’s up to your own personal preferences though.

Free bets are given out in the live chat. Just keep an eye on it and redeem them when possible.

The features above are just the surface level mechanics of Traders. Here are some other important factors going on under the hood.

Random Number Generator (RNG)

Random Number Generators (RNG) are algorithmic computer programs that ensure games are truly random. Without them, games can be rigged against you and if you start winning. RNGs keep things fair and balanced at all times.

Return To Player (RTP)

Return-to-player (RTP) is the average payout percentage. It describes how much money a game pays out based on how much it takes in on average. Trader has a 97% RTP, which means it will pay out $0.97 for every $1 wagered.

Provably Fair Technology

Provably Fair Technology is a blockchain-enabled transparency mechanism that records every round in a public code that can be accessed, checked, and verified by anyone. You can do it yourself by selecting the “Provably Fair Settings” tab in the Trader game menu.

Like all Scribe games, Trader has a simple theme, basic graphics, and familiar sound effects to enhance gameplay. It also has bouncy background music that’s not really related to the overall theme of Wall Street trading markets. Overall, the sound, design, and theme are not really remarkable. That doesn’t detract from the game, though, as I think simplicity is one of Trader’s best features.

Crypto casino games like Trader use Provably Fair Technology to prove that they are not rigged, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned about safety and fairness when you gamble online. To stay as safe as possible, I recommend that you only play at licensed and regulated casino sites that use RNGs. It’s even better if you can find a site that has third party accreditations, such as eCOGRA certification.

Whenever you gamble online, you should have a budget and stick to it. Always think about what you can afford to lose before you place your bet. This is especially important when you play an engaging, fast-paced game like Trader.
