I would like to gather an element with the class name crash_crashGameCoefficient__M8rxs using selenium. My current code is listed below and just returns and empty list when it should be returning the item with the class name crash_crashGameCoefficient__M8rxs. Please help!

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt, json, colorama
colorama.init(autoreset=True)

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

x = []
y = []

chromedriver = 'chromedriver.exe'

d = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
d['loggingPrefs'] = { 'browser':'ALL' }
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=d)

URL = 'https://bloxflip.com/crash'

driver.get(URL)

thing = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('crash_crashGameCoefficient__M8rxs')

print(thing)

One thing that could cause the issue is the page getting loaded too slowly before the driver.find_elements_by_class_name looks for the element. Test by adding an implicit wait driver.implicitly_wait(10), this could be changed to a more suitable fluent wait if necessary.

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)

URL = 'https://bloxflip.com/crash'

driver.get(URL)

thing = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//*[contains(@class,'crash_crashGameCoefficient__')]")))
print(thing)

Should be a simple wait for the element to be present.
