How to Play Scratch Cards Online
Playing online scratch cards is a relatively simple process for South African players; it essentially requires players to scratch off a card on their screen, as with traditional scratch cards. While it might seem like a straightforward premise, scratch cards borrow some aspects from other online casino games to add extra depth.
The first aspect of playing is usually choosing your stake. This works in a similar way to Video Slots, except with a scratch card, the stake is applied to the whole board rather than being split up across paylines. As a result, any wins that you create will be paid out in relation to the complete stake.
The next thing players have to do is scratch off the panels to reveal the symbols underneath the panels. This is when wins are calculated. Here, you will need to check the rules of the game to discover how many symbols you need to match in order to create a win. Some games will only payout on a single symbol, while others will payout across multiple symbols on the same card. This is why it’s important to check the rules before playing, so you know exactly what to aim for.
Some online scratch cards will offer players the chance to earn free games, in a similar way to Video Slot games offering players free spins. This will award you a free scratch of the panels at the same stake at which the user was playing when they were awarded the free game.
The best way to learn what the game you’re playing offers is to check the help menu. This will show you the specific rules of the game and you’ll be able to see which games have the features and rules that suit you best. You can also expect to find additional help in our detailed help section. This will ensure you find the right game to play, and prevent you from being caught out by the rules.
Odds and Payouts
There are lots of different odds and payouts used by online scratch card games. While the basic premise of creating wins remains the same, the payouts can vary massively between games.
Depending on the game that you’re playing, you could win 10,000 times your stake or more. The payouts are usually calculated in a similar way to Video Slots, where each symbol that can appear on the card will be assigned a value. If you manage to get three of each symbol, you would be awarded the payout associated with it. For example, let’s look at the paytable from Merlin’s Millions below:
| Symbol | Payout |
| Wand | 1 time your stake |
| Table | 2 times your stake |
| Potion | 5 times your stake |
| Spellbook | 10 times your stake |
| Owl | 50 times your stake |
| MM Logo | 100 times your stake |
| Merlin | 1,000 times your stake |
The 3 Most Important Tips Before We Play Scratch Card Games
Starting to play an online scratch card is relatively simple, especially compared to some other games that are available. However, there are still some steps you will need to go through in order to get up to speed with playing scratch cards properly. Here are our top three tips for you to get started playing online scratch cards.
- Choose the scratch card game that’s right for you. There are a large number of different scratch card games available, so there’s definitely one out there for your needs. This can be related to variance, RTP, maximum payout or the stake. It could also be related to the number of features available in the game. Whatever your requirements, find the scratch card game that matches them best.
- Work with your bankroll. All too often players play outside of their bankroll, and this can lead to negative outcomes. If you set your stakes too high, your bankroll could easily be empty before you know it. This is why it’s important to set a stake level that aligns with your bankroll — this will give you the best opportunity to get the most out of the game.
- Don’t expect a Video Slot. If you start playing a scratch card thinking it’ll be identical to a Video Slot, you will be let down. Scratch cards do share some similarities with Video Slots, but they’re different games. Remember this, or you’ll never truly engage with your game.
If you take these tips into account, you’ll have the best chance to become immersed in your scratch card experience. While it’s always good to aim for a win, you should focus on having a pleasant gameplay experience first and foremost. Follow our tips, and you will be able to get the most out of every game.
