Playtech Offers The Best Online Scratch Cards

 

Scratch cards are simple and quick gambling games that are often ignored by online casino players. The software provider Playtech has found a unique way to bring its scratch cards into focus. Most of its latest scratch cards are based on popular Playtech online slots. Therefore the combination of slot machine and scratch card enhances the value of both online casino games. Most such combinations are for the Playtech branded products. Scratch cards based on branded Marvel Movie super hero slots include Elektra Scratch, Iron Man 2 Scratch and Blade Scratch. Scratch cards are also based on other Playtech branded slots such as The Mummy Scratch, Kong Scratch and Top Trumps Celebs Scratch. Some scratch cards are based on regular Playtech slot games such as A Night Out Scratch and Easter Surprise Scratch.

The theme of the slot machine is depicted in the scratch card through shared graphics, symbols and styling. For example A Night Out scratch card shows the same three partying girls and the same drinks. The scratch cards also share the same win animations. Playtech released Spamalot Scratch ahead of the slot game. The animation of the Lady of the Lake losing her garment became so popular that players at Playtech online casinos became impatient for the launch of the slot game.

Playtech has also innovated with the structures of the scratch cards. In one type of scratch card the prize symbol is revealed along with a payout value. The payout value is randomly selected from a given range that depends on the bet amount. The scratch card has six spaces each of which hides a symbol. If any of the symbols on the scratch card matches with the prize symbol then the online casino player wins. Kong Scratch and Spamalot Scratch have this structure. Another type of Playtech scratch card has nine spaces in a 3x3 matrix. Each symbol has a specified payout ratio. If the scratched card reveals three identical symbols then the player's bet is multiplied by the payout ratio for that symbol. Iron Man 2 Scratch is a combination of the two structures. A random payout is initially indicated. In order to win, the reactor symbol has to appear in all spaces horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The other symbols do not pay out. Rocky Scratch reveals three opponents of Rocky from the movie series. You pick one of them. A bout between the opponent and Rocky is shown on the screen. If Rocky beats the opponent then you win the indicated payout.
