Limbo calculator

Type the multiplier you are aiming for and see how often limbo reaches it, how many rounds that usually takes and how long a dry run can get.

Optional. Pick a casino and a title, and the calculator uses the RTP in our data for it. Only titles with an RTP figure are listed.

How limbo odds are worked out

Each limbo round draws one result. The draw is built so that every target has the same expected return. That fixes the chance of reaching a target as the RTP divided by that target.

P(result ≥ target) = RTP ÷ target
rounds for a 50% chance = ln(0.5) ÷ ln(1 − P)

Worked example

At an RTP of 99.00% and a target of 10.00x, the chance is 0.99 ÷ 10 = 9.90%, or about 1 in 10.1 rounds. To have an even chance of seeing it at least once you need 7 rounds.

Limbo and crash share one formula, so the crash odds for the same target are identical. For the very top of the scale see the odds of the maximum win, and for the same bet written as a win chance use the dice calculator.

What these limbo numbers leave out

  • They do not predict a round. A target that has not hit for a long time is not due.
  • The maximum multiplier of a title is set by its provider and is not in our data, so very high targets may be above what your game allows.
  • Average rounds are averages. Half of all players wait longer than the 50% figure.

Questions about limbo odds

Is limbo the same as crash?

The odds are the same: the chance to reach a target is the RTP divided by the target. Limbo shows the result at once, and crash lets you cash out while the multiplier climbs.

What is the chance of doubling a bet in limbo?

At 99.00% RTP a target of 2.00x hits 49.50% of the time. At 97.00% RTP it hits 48.50% of the time.

Do high targets have a worse return?

No. The expected return is the RTP at every target. High targets pay more and hit less often in the same proportion.

How rare is a 1,000x hit?

At 99.00% RTP it comes up 0.10% of the time. You would need hundreds of rounds before one hit becomes likely, and it can still take much longer.
