PMI has come up with CricketX, a new version of JetX online multiplayer game. The novelty is that the version is specially developed and customised for Indian users who are famous for their love for bats and balls. Parimatch has revealed CricketX at the beginning of Indian Premier League 2022 — to celebrate the start of the season with IPL fans.
CricketX has simple rules, thrilling atmosphere, and spectacular pixel-typed design. The main event of the game has changed though: there’s no more plane taking off — it is replaced with a guy hitting a cricket ball. Developers took into account all the tiny details that real cricket fans will notice, so the game is worth trying.
How to play CricketX?
The user’s profile would be familiar to people who play sports video games. The player makes a bet before the event (min stake is Rs one, max is Rs 10000) — “the Cricketer” hits the ball — and the ball starts to fly. While the ball is flying past planets and spacemen in open space with relaxing music in the background, the bet multiplier increases and can reach up to 25000x. The win is calculated by multiplying the current height coefficient and the user’s bet. The thing is to cash out in time — before the ball explodes. And this is the most thrilling moment. The game is simple, but it can give a good dose of adrenaline and fun.
It’s up to the player not to be too greedy because the ball can sometimes explode very early or even not take off at all and make the player lose. But it can also go very high and with very interesting multiplies.
RTP for CricketX is 96.7-98.8 per cent, so the game can be very profitable, especially for high-roller players, because it generates high average bets. However, it is better to secure bets: collecting even several times with a small multiplier can pay off quickly.
There’s an option to make two bets and cash them out separately if the player wants to focus on a strategy without too much risk, and a more fun one — if he takes only one chance to win.
The user has the buttons for auto-bet, so he can automatically bet on each round. He can also set on auto cash out: for example, if the multiplier reaches 2x, the game automatically cashes out.
Advantages and promotools
A special thing about CricketX is that at first sight it’s all about luck and instincts and is similar to a live casino because the player sees one round. On the other hand, it is also a skill-based game because players make decisions on how to make a bet and when to cash out. So the game can be a tasty dish for both slot players who like the thrill of danger and the sports betting community, who often calculate their chances to win.
Users can invent winning strategies based on the history of their bets, previous rounds coefficients, and even open statistics of the other players, available in real-time. The game is multiplayer, so the user can cash out whenever he wants, but still has to wait until the current event is completed. He can see when other players cash out and how much money they win, that can be insightful. People can also interact with each other: casually chat or discuss their strategies.
As a bonus, players can also get free bets or participate in a draw and win a prize. More promotools will appear till the end of the year: developers promise to add an in-game leaderboard, “lucky coin-flip” and prizes for completing certain missions.
Parimatch expects CricketX to become one of the most popular games on the company’s website during the Indian Premier League 2022. The easiest way to access it is to click on the “Instant games” button at the top of the Parimatch main page. The game is available both on the computer and phone.
