What Is Skyward Deluxe?
BetGames launched Skyward Deluxe in late 2025 as a direct sequel to the original Skyward (November 2023). The core loop is unchanged: place your bet, watch the plane climb, cash out before the crash. Same 97% RTP. Same x100,000 max multiplier. Same high volatility.
What Deluxe adds on top: a progressive Community Jackpot, three-tier leaderboards, winboards, Sky Drops (free bet credits), partial cash-out, and live in-round chat. BetGames Head of Product Adam Lahouiri described it as "the world's fairest community crash game" — a reference specifically to the equal-split jackpot mechanic.
If you already know original Skyward, Deluxe feels instantly familiar from the first round. The difference shows in session length — the jackpot, challenges, and Sky Drops create reasons to stay that the original doesn't have. New to Skyward entirely? Learn the base rules first →

The original Skyward is a clean, tactical crash game. Deluxe is that same game with a retention architecture bolted on.
Progressive Jackpot — How It Works
Every other crash game jackpot in the market follows slot logic: one winner takes the pool. Skyward Deluxe's Community Jackpot splits the payout equally among every active player in the round when it triggers — a structural difference that changes how you relate to other players at the table.
The pool accumulates continuously from every round played across all operators running Deluxe. It can trigger at any multiplier point — including sub-2x rounds. You don't need to ride to a high multiplier or place a special bet. Being active in the round when it drops is the only requirement.
| Type | Progressive — pool grows with every round played |
| Trigger | Random — can drop at any moment during any round |
| Distribution | Equal share among all qualifying active players |
| Requirement | Active bet placed in the round when it triggers |
| Resets | Pool resets after payout, immediately starts growing again |
| On top of regular win | Yes — jackpot is EXTRA. Your regular cash-out or crash result is separate. |
Sky Drops — Free Bets Explained
Sky Drops are free bet credits that appear randomly during an active session. They drop into the game interface during the betting window — claim them before the round starts or they expire unused.
Winnings from Sky Drops settle into your balance exactly like any other cash-out. BetGames controls frequency and credit size; no published schedule exists. Sessions with higher activity see more drops, but no formula is confirmed.

Partial Cash-Out — First in Crash Games
No other crash game offered partial cash-out before Skyward Deluxe. The feature converts a binary outcome (cash out everything or crash) into a spectrum of positions within a single round. You withdraw a portion of your current value, lock that portion into your balance, and leave the remaining stake riding.
Each panel operates independently. Partial cash-out on Panel 1 at 3x while Panel 2 continues riding is a single sequence — two separate positions running simultaneously in the same round.
| Step | Action | Your Position |
| Bet | ₹500 on Panel 1 | ₹500 at risk |
| Multiplier hits 3x | Partial cash-out — withdraw ₹750 (50% of current value ₹1,500) | ₹750 secured + ₹750 still riding |
| Multiplier hits 8x | Full cash-out on remaining stake at 8x = ₹2,000 | Total: ₹750 + ₹2,000 = ₹2,750 |
| Alternative: crash at 5x | Partial already taken. Remaining ₹250 stake lost. | Total: ₹750. Net: +₹250 |
Leaderboards, Winboards & Hero Challenges
Three separate retention systems run in parallel during every Deluxe session. Points accumulate passively from normal play — no special bet size or mode required.
Leaderboards
- Daily, weekly, and monthly rankings across the active operator pool
- Points earned from cash-out multipliers — higher multiplier = more points
- Top positions win prizes set by operator; resets each period
- Accumulates automatically during normal play — no minimum bet required
Winboards
- Public display of biggest multiplier cash-outs by day, week, and month
- Your alias appears next to the result — public bragging rights
- No separate prize attached — purely competitive and social
- Updates in real-time as new records are set during active sessions
Hero Tool & Challenges
- Challenges: "Cash out above 5x in 3 rounds", "Play 50 rounds today" — each earns points
- Tournaments: Time-limited events with operator-set prize pools; entry through normal play
- Prize Shop: Redeem accumulated points for rewards — catalogue varies by operator
Leaderboards and challenges create session targets beyond the round-by-round multiplier chase. Strategies that work in both versions →
Where to Play Skyward Deluxe in India
Skyward Deluxe is newer than the original — not every India-facing casino carries it yet. The title rolls out through BetGames' standard operator integration pipeline. Casinos already running original Skyward typically add Deluxe within weeks of the regional release.
Look for "Skyward Deluxe" in your casino's BetGames or Instant Games lobby section. If you see only "Skyward" without the Deluxe label — that's the original version. Casino support can confirm whether Deluxe is on their roadmap.
