Scratch cards

A scratch card asks for one decision: the stake. After that, the panels are uncovered and the outcome depends on whether matching symbols appear. Rounds take seconds, and there are no paylines, reels or bonus features to keep track of. The prize for each possible match is listed on the card, so it is clear from the outset what a winning reveal is worth.

Several cards in this section show how varied the format can look. Hellcards Scratch and Spooky Scary Scratchy go for darker themes, Fabulous Fairies Scratch and Snow Scratcher for gentler ones, and Aztec Warrior Scratchcard brings an ancient civilisation into play. Chaos Crew Scratch carries a slot theme over to a card.

Hacksaw, Evoplay, Caleta and BoldPlay supply the cards. Trying a few side by side is the quickest way to find a design you like, since the underlying rules barely change.
