How does the crash game algorithm work?

Crash games use a SHA-256 hash chain to pre-generate all results before any bets are placed. The casino creates millions of game hashes by repeatedly hashing a server seed, then plays the games in reverse order. Each hash is converted to a crash point using the formula: crash_point = max(1, floor(99 / (1 - value))), where value is derived from the first 8 characters of the hash. The constant 99 represents a 1% house edge (some casinos use 97 for 3% edge). Because results are pre-determined and verifiable, this is called provably fair.
