Scratch Card

An online scratch card is an instant-win game in which you buy a ticket at a fixed price and reveal hidden symbols to see whether it wins. The result is decided by the game's random number generator at the moment of purchase; the scratching animation is presentation, and a reveal-all button settles the same ticket in one click. The paytable is the whole game. Each ticket price has its own prize table listing every winning combination and its payout, along with the top prize, and the return over many tickets follows from that table. Prize structures differ widely: some tickets pay small amounts often, others hold almost all their value in a rare top prize, and the same brand of ticket at a different price can have a different structure entirely. The rules screen states which. Two things worth carrying over from paper tickets. Nothing about the previous ticket affects the next — each purchase is generated independently, so a run of losers does not make a winner closer. And speed is the real difference online: a paper ticket takes a walk to a shop, while an online ticket takes a click, and the autoplay or bulk-buy option in many titles resolves dozens of purchases in the time one physical card takes to scratch.
