Fast Hands Player Wins Five Figures

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:49:04 GMT

A Fast Hands online scratchcard player is celebrating after winning a €50,000 prize at Scratch2Cash, and the news of this first big Fast Hands winner comes just days after we published our review of the game. Regular readers may recall that another Scratch2Cash player won a €50,000 on the Ready, Set, Go game within a week of our review for that game appearing here, so we are pleased to report that the same kind of happy coincidence has cropped up again. Players who are of a more superstitious persuasion might take the two coincidences as a bit of hint, in which case they will definitely want to play the next game that we feature here!

Fast Hands

Tue, 6 Jul 2010 16:57:24 GMT

Fast Hands is an online scratchcard game at the Hopa site which takes the traditional game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, puts it in the middle of an urban setting, adds a modern soundtrack and throws in the ability to win up to £200,000. Players can choose to play anything from one to six ‘rounds’ at a time, and with the odds of winning any prize being 1 in 3 in each round, playing the maximum of six rounds can often result in winning not just one prize but multiple prizes. Online scratchcards fans who are familiar with Rock, Paper, Scissors should be able to understand the Fast Hands online scratchcard straight away, but for those of you who aren’t familiar with the original game, we will explain it as we go along…

Ludo

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 07:46:16 GMT

Ludo is a board game that has been played under that name since the end of the 19th century, but there is now an online scratchcard version at the National Lottery site which combines the traditional game with the opportunity to win up to £80,000. Each Ludo game costs just £2 and gives players a 1 in 3.71 chance of winning a cash prize. Of course, if you want to try the game for free just to see how it plays then you can do so. You can play up to 75 free games per day at the National Lottery site, so you have plenty of opportunity to get to grips with Ludo, and when you have done so you can start playing real games to try and win yourself some real cash prizes.

Scratch Kiosk

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 13:15:05 GMT

Scratch Kiosk is a very unusual online scratchcard game at Bet365 Casino, and what makes it so different is the fact that it not only replicates the experience of playing a traditional offline scratchcard, but it also replicates the experience of choosing and buying one! The Scratch Kiosk is stocked with nine different scratchcards, each of which costs a different amount of money and offers prize money that reflects the cost involved. All of the scratchcards play in a similar manner, but being able to enjoy the old-fashioned process of visiting a scratch kiosk, picking a game and playing it on the spot is one that all fans of online scratchcards will enjoy.

Scratch2Cash Player Wins Big!

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:50:22 GMT

A Scratch2Cash player recently won €50,000 by playing the Ready, Set, Go online scratchcard game, which is encouraging news for anyone who read our very recent review of the game and has just started playing it. For those of you who haven’t yet read that review, Ready, Set, Go has a ‘general sports’ theme and, as with all Scratch2Cash games, every game gives players a 1 in 3 chance of winning some kind of prize. The game is well worth playing for pure entertainment value (and you can play for free if the ‘fun only’ approach appeals to you) but as the latest big winner would be happy to tell you, playing for real cash can be extremely lucrative!

Ready Set Go

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:28:29 GMT

Ready, Set, Go is a sports-themed online scratchcard with an online slots twist at the Hopa scratchcards site. Whereas most scratchcard games that feature sports tend to focus on a single sport (for example, World Champions or Formula Won), Ready, Set, Go is a game that covers a variety of sports. It will therefore appeal to anyone who takes any kind of interest in sporting events, as well as anyone who likes the idea of winning a top prize of up to £200,000. Because this is a Hopa game, each scratchcard has a 1 in 3 chance of being a winner, and if you want to try the game for free before playing for real you can do so.

£100,000 Rainbow

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:37:36 GMT

The £100,000 Rainbow scratchcard game at the National Lottery site is a game which traditionalist players will love. The game offers a top prize of £100,000 and from a practical perspective it plays just like an offline scratchcard did a decade or two ago. Of course, this isn’t an old-fashioned game at all, and so the £100,000 Rainbow is also exquisite to look at, with some superb rainbow-coloured animation effects built into the experience. As a whole package then, £100,000 Rainbow is a game that everyone will enjoy, and with odds of winning any prize at all being 1 in 4.9, winning a personal pot of gold isn’t as unlikely as you might initially imagine!

Love Match

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 14:42:26 GMT

The Love Match online scratchcard game can be played at Jackpot Scratch and is ideally suited to players who have a bit of a romantic streak, though with a top prize of £100,000 even the hard of heart might fancy having a go as well. The game is designed to evoke the same kind of feelings that people associate with the first rush of love (everybody say ahhhh) so expect plenty of pastel colours, romantic harps and more angels than you’ll find in an Oxford Street department store on Christmas Eve. Each Love Match scratchcard costs as little as 50p, though of course if you choose to spend more on a game you can win bigger prizes.

Blockbusters

Wed, 9 Jun 2010 11:30:49 GMT

Blockbusters is an online scratchcard game at Bet365 Casino that will be greeted with absolute delight by any fan of the 1980’s television game show of the same name. The blockbusters game show, which was a big hit in the UK, was presented by Bob Holness and required contestants to answer questions in order to get from one side of the Blockbusters board to another. There are no questions involved in the online scratchcard version of the game, but there are plenty of other familiar references to the original show that fans will love. And for those of you who haven’t heard of Blockbusters until today, we can tell you that this online scratchcard is a superb game in its own right, so even newcomers will enjoy it.

World Champions

Thu, 3 Jun 2010 15:28:16 GMT

Hopa is getting into the World Cup 2010 spirit by giving all new players the chance to play its latest football-themed online scratchcard game for free! World Champions enables players to win a jackpot of up to £200,000 and will appeal not only to football fans but also to all other players of online scratchcards who might fancy taking a penalty kick at some big money prizes. Because this is a Hopa game, each scratchcard has a 1 in 3 chance of winning a prize. Whilst the current promotion lasts that means new players at Hopa could quite easily win a prize without spending a penny of their own cash. If that isn’t worth celebrating, we don’t know what is!

Rocks to Riches

Wed, 2 Jun 2010 14:50:04 GMT

As regular readers will know, we love a wide variety of online scratchcards and instant win games, but as far as innovation and immersion are concerned, it has to be said that the Rocks to Riches game at the National Lottery site stands apart from all of the games that we have reviewed so far. Why? Well, it isn’t just the fact that each game gives players a 1 in 2.87 chance of winning any prize, or that the top prize is £65,000 for a scratchcard price of just £2. What’s really special about Rocks to Riches is that it is presented in 3D and features some of the best animation we have ever seen in a scratchcard game.

Genie's Hi-Lo

Mon, 31 May 2010 14:03:38 GMT

Genie’s Hi-Lo is a hi-lo instant win game at Jackpot Scratch that looks quite different to how you might expect a hi-lo game to look. Whereas most hi-lo games tend to present the numbers as straightforward digits, Genie’s Hi-Lo uses playing cards that are held by a female genie, and instead of simply predicting higher or lower you can also predict the colour of the next card to be selected. As if that wasn’t enough, you need to pick the next card yourself. All of this makes the Genie’s Hi-Lo game even more involving than most other online scratchcards in this genre, and its unique approach makes a very refreshing change that everyone will appreciate.

Formula Won

Thu, 27 May 2010 14:13:38 GMT

Formula Won is a fast and furious online scratchcard at Bet365 Casino that perfectly demonstrates how carefully selected audio and visuals can turn a simple scratchcard concept into a game that offers genuine thrills time after time. As you might have guessed from the title, Formula Won is inspired by Formula 1 racing, so if you happen to be a fan of the sport you will love this game. Even if Formula 1 racing isn’t usually your thing, the Formula Won online scratchcard is so engaging that it could well win you over. And with a top prize of 1,000 times your stake, it just might help you to speed your way to a big win.

Farm a Fortune

Tue, 25 May 2010 14:04:57 GMT

Farm a Fortune is one of those unique instant win games at the National Lottery site that requires a bit more interaction than simply scratching a few panels and hoping for the best. If you are looking for a game that is over within ten seconds of starting then Farm a Fortune isn’t for you, but if you like your online scratchcards to give you maximum value for money and to be as entertaining as they are potentially rewarding. Farm a Fortune will fit the bill very nicely. Each game costs just £2, offers a top prize of £50,000 and gives you a 1 in 3.57 chance of winning any prize at all.

Bingo

Thu, 20 May 2010 15:45:00 GMT

Bingo is one of the most direct and uncomplicated online scratchcard interpretations of a traditional bingo game that we have come across. There are of course quite a few online scratchcards that are based on bingo, but most of them incorporate elements of other games or play around with the way the game is presented. Bingo is different because it does neither of those things, and instead provides an authentic bingo experience in an online scratchcard format. The Bingo game can be played at Hopa and gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning a prize. The top prize that can be won when playing this Bingo game is £200,000.

Hi-Lo Techno

Mon, 17 May 2010 13:39:06 GMT

Hi-Lo Techno takes the hi-lo concept and gives it a futuristic spin in this simple yet incredibly addictive instant win game at the Virgin Casino. It works like most other hi-lo games, and your task is to bet on whether you think the next number in a series will be higher or lower than the previous one. After each correct prediction you can either collect your winnings or continue to make another prediction in an effort to increase your winnings. This makes it possible to win substantial sums of money even if you bet using modest stakes. Bet more and you could win positively life-changing amounts in a matter of minutes!

Get Lucky

Thu, 13 May 2010 14:20:24 GMT

Get Lucky is a rather unique scratchcard from the National Lottery site because it has two separate rounds. If you don’t win a prize in Round One then you will automatically gain entry into Round Two so that you can have another chance of winning. The odds of you winning in Round One are 1 in 4.38, the odds of you winning in Round Two are 1 in 9.55 and the odds of you winning in both rounds combined are 1 in 3.24, which is pretty impressive. The top prize in the Get Lucky scratchcard game is worth £70,000 and having a go will cost you just £2.

Classic Slots Scratchcard

Tue, 11 May 2010 15:36:37 GMT

Classic Slots is an online scratchcard game at Jackpot Scratch that is designed to look like a bank of three traditional slot machines but play like a scratchcard. This is an interesting approach which we have already seen in the Royal Slots game, but it is always nice for fans of online scratchcards to have more than one choice in any genre, so Classic Slots is a very welcome addition to the online scratchcard universe. The top prize in the game is an impressive £100,000, an average of one in three Classic Slots scratchcards will win a prize and real-money games cost as little as 50p each. If all of that sounds interesting then read on and we’ll tell you more…

The X Factor Scratchcard

Thu, 6 May 2010 12:36:33 GMT

The X Factor Scratchcard is, as most readers will have already guessed, an online scratchcards game at the Bet365 Casino that is based on The X Factor television show. If you are one of the minority of people who has never seen or heard about the show, The X Factor is a British television talent show that has transformed talented unknowns into household names with million-pound record contracts. The X Factor Scratchcard won’t make you anywhere near that famous, but it will give you a very entertaining online scratchcard experience, and if you hit a good prize it could also fatten your bank account by a fair amount.

Football Fortunes

Tue, 4 May 2010 13:25:48 GMT

Football Fortunes is rather unique among online scratchcards, not because it has a football theme (regular readers will be aware that there are several other games which are inspired by soccer) but because it gives players the chance to win tangible prizes as well as cash prizes worth up to £30,000. The tangible prizes in question are big screen televisions – 42 inch Viera televisions, to be precise – so if you’re a scratchcard fan who wouldn’t mind winning yourself a big screen on which you can watch football games or whatever else takes your fancy, you might want to play Football Fortunes at the National Lottery site.

Master Mix

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:06:21 GMT

Master Mix is a very colourful and exciting online scratchcard game that can be played at Scratch2Cash. The game involves a wizard-type figure selecting four numbered balls and you then scratch one or more panels to see if you can match any of them. Each scratchcard features ten panels, and each of those panels constitutes a separate game, so you can play anything from 1 to 10 games on every scratchcard. The odds of winning any prize in a game are around 1 in 3, so playing multiple games on a single Master Mix scratchcard makes it perfectly possible to win several times over.

Hi-Lo Classic

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:52:06 GMT

Hi-Lo Classic is widely regarded as the instant win game that launched the whole ‘higher or lower’ genre, so if you want to discover the title that inspired a brand new generation of games that has delighted fans of online scratchcards ever since, Hi-Lo Classic is well worth taking a look at. You can play the Hi-Lo Classic game at the Virgin Casino, and you can either play for free if you just want to see what all the fuss was about, or you can play for real cash and win real cash prizes. How much you can win depends on your stake and how many correct predictions you can make without losing, but the potential for jackpot-sized payouts is certainly there.

Money Machine

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:03:40 GMT

We wondered when it would happen and it finally has – Money Machine is an online scratchcard at the National Lottery site that is designed to give you your very own lottery experience! The Money Machine that the game is named after draws eight lottery numbers and if you match three or more of those numbers then you will win a cash prize. There is also the chance to win an instant cash prize if one special lottery ball is selected, and we will explain how that works a little later. Right now the important thing is to tell you that the top prize is worth £20,000 and that the Money Machine game costs just £1 a go!

Spy Comics

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:03:44 GMT

Spy Comics is an online scratchcard game at the Hopa site which is inspired by the detective comics that first became popular in the late 1930’s. Whilst the popularity of the detective comics genre has declined a little in recent decades, it is still viewed with a great deal of nostalgia by many, and the Spy Comics game gives fans of online scratchcards the chance to indulge in some of that nostalgia and maybe win a cash prize at the same time. As you would expect from a Hopa game (which can also be played at Hopa’s sister site Scratch2Cash) the biggest prize that can be won from the Spy Comics game is £200,000.

Gone Fishin'

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:53:06 GMT

Gone Fishin’ is a delightfully straightforward online scratchcard game that can be played at the Scratch2Cash and Hopa scratchcard sites. Like all Scratch2Cash games, Gone Fishin’ gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning any prize at all, and you can win up to £200,000, depending on how much you spend on the game. As for the theme of the game, the title pretty much gives it away – Gone Fishin’ is all about three men who have gone fishing, and your job is to help one of them catch something that they can be proud of. Succeed and you’ll win yourself a cash prize!

Meteor Money

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 08:39:45 GMT

Meteor Money is a space-themed online scratchcard at the National Lottery site. It boasts a countdown-inspired jackpot of £54,321 and costs £2 a game. The game involves shooting meteors with a laser gun so that a clear path can be made for any one of twelve rocket ships. Succeed and you will win a cash prize. You can also win cash by finding three UFOs or by winning a mini-game that you might be lucky enough to launch when playing the main game. The overall odds of winning any Meteor Money prize are 1 in 3.42.

Aces High

Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:16:10 GMT

Aces High is an instant win game at the Virgin Casino which plays like a regular Hi-Lo game but uses playing cards instead of regular numbers, and as the title suggests, Aces are high, which means they are viewed as being worth 11 instead of 1. Picture cards have the same rank as they do in card games, with the King having a higher value than a Queen, and a Queen having a higher value than a Jack. Another thing that makes this game a little different is that you can make a ‘Same’ prediction instead of ‘Hi’ or ‘Lo’ if you think that the next number will be the same as the one before.

Football Mania

Mon, 5 Apr 2010 17:05:56 GMT

Football Mania is a soccer-themed online scratchcard game at Jackpot Scratch that gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning any prize, and a top prize of 10,000 times your stake. You can bet anything from 50p to £10 per game, so if you play the maximum stake and you score a jackpot-winning goal you’ll scoop £100,000! Of course, prize money is irrelevant if the game itself isn’t up to scratch, but the good news is that Football Mania is impressive from end to end, so you’ll have a lot of fun even if a major prize eludes you.

Genie

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:27:49 GMT

The Genie online scratchcard game at Hopa is a perfect example of how even the most straightforward of scratchcards can provide a wonderfully rich gaming experience with plenty of atmosphere. The basic concept of the game is simple: you have stumbled across a handful of magic lamps in a secluded cave, and rubbing a lamp results in a Genie emerging from it. Each Genie holds six precious stones, and if three of those stones are of the same type then you win a cash prize. Because this is a Hopa offering, each Genie game gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning a prize, and the top prize is worth a rather magical £200,000.

Esmeralda

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:44:58 GMT

The name Esmeralda might make you think of the female lead in The Hunchback of Notre Dame novel by Victor Hugo, but in this online scratchcard game it just happens to be the name of a witch who enjoys flying around on the back of her trusty broomstick. Unfortunately Esmeralda the witch is in pieces (two, to be exact) and your aim in this game, which can be played at the Scratch2Cash site, is to try and put her back together again. Succeed and you will win a cash prize worth up to £200,000. Even better, you can play up to eight games at once, making it possible to achieve multiple wins again and again!

4 Play Hi Lo Bingo

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:32:21 GMT

4 Play Hi Lo Bingo is an instant win game at Virgin Casino that combines the tried-and-tested ‘hi-lo’ gaming experience with bingo. The result is a very entertaining game that is as easy to play as any other hi-lo game, yet gives you a level of interactivity that is a lot higher than that offered by many other online scratchcards. This probably isn’t the game to play if you only want to scratch a few panels as quickly as possible, but if you enjoy potentially lengthy gaming sessions that require you to think as you play, the 4 Play Hi Lo Bingo game will make your day.

Fair Play

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:33:40 GMT

Fair Play is a very enjoyable online scratchcard game at Hopa that thinks it’s a slot machine! The first thing that you will notice when you launch this game is the traditional fairground music that is used to set the scene. The second thing you will notice is that this sense of tradition carries through to the appearance of the game. The scratchcard itself is set against a starry night backdrop, with a large Ferris wheel on the right and a shooting gallery on the left. Look very closely at the latter and you will see someone having a go!

Spring Bonus

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:21:33 GMT

Spring Bonus is an online scratchcard game that is packed with Easter eggs, newly hatched chicks and many of the other things that we tend to associate with springtime. The game can be played at the National Lottery site and costs £2 a go. The top prize is worth £70,000 and every Spring Bonus scratchcard gives you a 1 in 2.99 chance of winning you some cash, which really is quite fantastic. Add to all of that the fact that the Spring Bonus gaming experience lasts for nine rolls of the die and we think you’ll agree that it offers superb value for money. It will also help you to enjoy the atmosphere of a fine spring day no matter what the weather is doing outside!

Spin Win

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:27:39 GMT

Fans of online scratchcards who fancy playing an instant win game that is a little different from the norm should take a good look at Spin Win at the Virgin Casino. Spin Win is just as easy to play as a regular online scratchcard game, but offers the potential of several rounds of excitement every time you play. Even better, you can win several cash prizes in every game, though the potential number of prizes is dependent on the game settings you choose when you get started, as we will explain in a few moments. Have you ever imagined winning up to twenty, thirty or even more prizes in a single game? If so, Spin Win is one of the few instant win games we know of that could make such a dream come true!

Namaste

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:49:00 GMT

Namaste is a very common greeting in India which means ‘I bow to you’, and it is usually accompanied by the person giving the greeting holding the palms of their hands together. That same gesture is used as the logo in this Namaste online scratchcard game at Scratch2Cash, which also happens to be set in India – right in front of what appears to be the Taj Mahal, to be exact. As you will discover shortly, the Indian theme runs throughout the game, giving you and other fans of online scratchcards the chance to enjoy some evocative sights and sounds as you play for a potential jackpot of £200,000.

7th Heaven

Mon, 8 Mar 2010 16:35:52 GMT

7th Heaven is an online scratchcard game at Hopa that is guaranteed to brighten your day. Not only is it packed with colour, it boasts one of the most up-beat musical loops we have heard in an online scratchcard game and it also allows you to play up to seven games simultaneously. As you might expect, the number 7 is key to this game, but the top prize isn’t £7,000 or even £77,000 – it’s a whopping £200,000! Of course, if you want to simply try the game then you can play for free, but when you’ve done that we’re confident you’ll want to play for real cash prizes soon afterwards!

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Thu, 4 Mar 2010 15:38:00 GMT

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was, and still is, one of the most popular television game shows of the last two decades, and now there is an official online scratchcards version of the game at the Bet365 Casino! The game makes excellent use of both sound and visuals to give you an authentic Millionaire experience, and real money games cost as little as 50p. Even better, if you stake £1 or more you can win up to £1,000,000!

£10000 a Month for a Year

Tue, 2 Mar 2010 14:24:37 GMT

£10,000 a Month for a Year is a big money online scratchcard game at the National Lottery site that does exactly what it says and gives you the chance to win a top prize of £10,000 every month for twelve months! Each online scratchcard costs £2 and allows you to win up to eight times, so you will get plenty of value for money when you play this game.

Love Birds

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:08:32 GMT

Love Birds is an online scratchcard game at the Scratch2Cash site that will delight anyone who would like to inject a little more romance into their lives as they play. The game focuses on a park bench where various couples meet up and whisper sweet nothings to each other. You have three photographs and if the couple on the park bench match any of the photos you have then you will win a cash prize. As this is a Scratch2Cash game the biggest prize available is £200,000 and the odds of you winning any prize at all are 1 in 3.

Bet365 Casino

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:44:02 GMT

Bet365 Casino is one of the most popular online gaming sites around, and many people are familiar with the fact that it offers online sports betting, poker, bingo and casino games. What most people don’t realise is that Bet365 Casino also has a Games section that is very well stocked with a variety of online scratchcards. Several of the games available at Bet365 Casino have already been reviewed right here (for example, 3WOW! and Knights Battle) so if you want to experience those titles in a different setting – or see what other titles are available – playing at Bet365 Casino for a while can be very rewarding.

Beetle Bingo

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:19:37 GMT

The Beetle Bingo game at Jackpot Scratch delivers an entertaining bingo-themed online scratchcard experience with a difference – this game of scratchcard bingo uses numbered beetles instead of numbered balls! Beetle Bingo can be tried for free, and when you decide that you want to play for real – and win up to €100,000 – tickets cost from as little €0.50. Because this game is at the Jackpot Scratch site, where the odds of winning a prize on scratchcards is 1 in 3, you have a great chance of landing yourself some Beetle Bingo cash – especially if you play several games in one sitting.

The Lost Maya

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:30:34 GMT

The Lost Maya is an brilliant simply yet incredibly atmospheric online scratchcard game which takes place in a Mayan temple. The ancient civilization of Maya left the world with some incredible architecture as well as the famous Mayan calendar system which expires in 2012. Whilst some conspiracy theorists argue that the end of the Mayan calendar might mean the end of the world, we think that their time would be much better spent at Hopa or Scratch2Cash where they could enjoy The Lost Maya scratchcard and maybe win up to £200,000 in the process!

Turtley Awesome

Mon, 1 Feb 2010 16:44:48 GMT

Turtley Awesome is a totally awesome online scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino. As the name of the game suggests, this game features members of the turtle community, but the creatures here aren’t your run-of-the mill turtles. On the contrary, the turtles in this game are all enthusiastic surfers, so you can expect plenty of sun, sand and surf to brighten your day whenever you play. You can play the game for free if you just want to find out what it’s like, or you can bet anything from 50p per game and give yourself a chance of winning a top prize of 2,500 times your stake.

Scratchcard Players Win Big

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:43:37 GMT

Two online scratchcard players are celebrating after winning €20,000 each – one at the Hopa site and the other at Scratch2Cash. Although the same online scratchcards can be played at both of those sites, the two wins were achieved with different games. However, those of you who like reading about coincidences will be interested to hear that both players live in France, and that both are understandably delighted with their five-figure success!

Money Money Money

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:29:01 GMT

Money Money Money is an online scratchcard game at the National Lottery site that focuses squarely on one of the main reasons why people like to play in the first place – because of the money! This game isn’t shy about the financial incentive that online scratchcards offer. No sir! In fact, it provides you with one of the most money-centric gaming experiences that we have ever encountered, and we love it. Each card gives you a 1 in 3.4 chance of winning a cash prize, and the jackpot is worth a cool £100,000. Money Money Money is also packed with entertainment, because every scratchcard gives you three different games to play.

Knights Battle

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:37:59 GMT

Knights Battle is an online scratchcard reworking of the traditional playing card game known as War. Whereas War can itself be an entertaining game, the fact that Knights Battle features superbly illustrated cards, atmospheric audio and the ability to play up to six games at once – all for cash prizes of up to £200,000 – make it a game that is particularly special. You can play Knights Battle at the Scratch2Cash site, where an average of 1 in 3 games is a winner, and that can create some very exciting moments…

Mumbai Magic

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:39:05 GMT

Mumbai Magic is a colourful, vibrant and tremendously enjoyable online scratchcard title at Ladbrokes Casino. The game is based on the Bollywood movies that usually feature plenty of singing and dancing, so it is no surprise that Mumbai Magic is as tuneful as it is visually attractive. You can stake anything from 50p upwards on a single game (or play for free if you just want to try it out) and you can win up to 20,000 times your stake, so if you are lucky enough to have some Mumbai Magic on your side you could win yourself a fortune.

Fairground Fortune

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:32:02 GMT

Fairground Fortune is a superbly entertaining online scratchcard game at the National Lottery site. What makes it so special is the fact that each card gives you three very different games to play, and you can choose which three games you play from a range of six. You can therefore mix and match different games every time you play . We’ve worked out that there are 20 possible combinations, so you will be kept busy for some time if you want to try all of them. Each card costs just £2 and you can win up to 9 times with every card. And for those of you who like to play for the jackpot, the top prize here is worth £45,000!

Poker King

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:47:05 GMT

Poker King takes the hugely popular game of poker and makes it fun and enjoyable for those of us who like to focus on playing online scratchcards. The Poker King game can be played at both Hopa and Scratch2Cash, and you can play for free to try it out or you can play for real and give yourself a chance of winning up to £200,000. As with all sports-based scratchcards (yes, poker is technically a sport) you don’t need to know the rules to have a lot of fun playing or to win decent amounts of cash – just scratch the panels.

Bowled Over

Thu, 7 Jan 2010 16:05:33 GMT

Bowled Over is a cricket-themed online scratchcard at Ladbrokes Casino, but you don’t necessarily need to be a cricket fan to enjoy it, and you certainly don’t need to know anything about cricket to play it. As with all online scratchcards at Ladbrokes Casino, you can try the Bowled Over game for free or you can pay for cards in order to try and win cash prizes. The minimum stake here is just 50p, and you can win up to 10,000 times your stake playing Bowled Over, so if luck is on your side you just might bowl yourself a small (or large) fortune!

Double Winning 7s

Tue, 5 Jan 2010 15:03:18 GMT

Double Winning 7s at the National Lottery site might look like a fairly traditional type of online scratchcard game at first glance, but it is actually much more. You can win a thoroughly modern amount of prize money, for starters - £77,777 to be exact. But when you look even closer you will discover that this is actually two games in one, and all told you have 10 chances to win a prize! The odds of winning any prize at all are 1 in 4.44 and Double Winning 7s online scratchcards cost just £2 each, so if you are serious about your online scratchcards, this game is a must-play!

Golden Island

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:26:43 GMT

Golden Island is a simple and straightforward online scratchcard game that is beautifully presented to give the impression that you are hunting for treasure on the Golden Island referred to in the title. The game can be played at both Scratch2Cash and Hopa, and in both cases the odds of you winning any prize (1 in 3) and the top prize available (£200,000) are identical, so choose whichever site you happen to prefer.

Cash Farm

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:02:30 GMT

The Cash Farm online scratchcard at Hopa is as refreshing and invigorating as a day out in the countryside. We’ll try to avoid making any jokes about reaping yourself a harvest of cash prizes or milking the game for a potential jackpot of £200,000, but unfortunately it looks like we’ve already failed miserably. The good news is that the game itself is far less corny (oops!) than we are. 1 in every 3 games is a prize winner, the graphics are bright and colourful and if you like farmyard animals then a trip to the Cash Farm is a must.

Prize Puddings

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:36:24 GMT

Prize Puddings is another Christmas themed online scratchcard game from the National Lottery site, and this one relates to the old festive tradition of putting silver sixpence pieces into Christmas puddings. That might not sound like something that is particularly good for dental health (which is probably why the tradition died out) but it used to be considered lucky for the person who managed to find the sixpence in their helping of pudding.

Wintry Wonderland

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:51:32 GMT

The Wintry Wonderland online scratchcard is a brilliantly festive game at Virgin Casino that combines a traditional nine-panel scratch approach with the kind of images that you might expect to find on Christmas cards. What makes this game so special is that, as well as the regular prizes, it has a built-in progressive jackpot that starts at £15,000 and grows with every game played until someone eventually wins the whole lot!

100m Champion

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:18:31 GMT

100m Champion is a very entertaining game at the Scratch2Cash site that focuses on eight athletes competing in a sprint race over a distance of 100 metres. In many ways the game is very similar to Super Hippodrome, but in this case the runners are human beings and not thoroughbred racehorses! As with all Scratch2Cash games you can adjust your stake at the outset, and the more you bet, the more you stand to win.

Noughts and Crosses on Ice

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:28:36 GMT

Noughts and Cross on Ice is a new online scratchcard game at the National Lottery site which combines the traditional game of noughts and crosses with the kind of fun that you might expect to have at an outdoor ice skating rink in the middle of winter. The game costs £1 per ticket and the top prize is £6,000, but there are plenty of smaller prizes up for grabs as well, and your odds of winning any prize at all are 1 in 3.34, which is quite impressive.

Space Evader

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:13:37 GMT

The Space Evader instant win game at Ladbrokes Casino gives online scratchcard players an out-of-this-world opportunity to win some massive cash prizes. With a name like Space Evader you have probably already guessed that this game is all about aliens of one type or another, and we can tell you that the aliens are actually little green creatures with large yellow bug-eyes. The game itself takes place on an alien landscape, and involves you getting an alien across dangerous terrain so that it can return to its spaceship.

Christmas Scratchcard

Tue, 8 Dec 2009 09:04:03 GMT

The Christmas scratchcard game is available at both Hopa and Scratch2Cash, and it gives online scratchcard players the opportunity to enjoy some traditional Christmas fun and win cash prizes at the same time! As you would expect from a Hopa game, every card has a 1 in 3 chance of being a winner, and the top prize you can play for is £200,000. Whilst you probably wouldn’t want to play this game all year round (and it could possibly be a seasonal game that appears for a limited time only) you will definitely want to give it a go during the winter months.

Winter Winner

Thu, 3 Dec 2009 16:37:08 GMT

Winter Winner is a seasonal online scratchcard game that gives you a chance of winning up to £60,000. The game, which can be played at the National Lottery web site, costs £2, and your overall odds of winning any prize at all are 1 in 4.84. As you would expect, Winter Winner has a wonderfully chilly theme, so if you like the idea of playing a game that is packed with snowmen, snowflakes and festive symbols, Winter Winner ticks all the right boxes. Even better, it actually gives you two games in one!

X and O

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 15:31:46 GMT

X&O is an online scratchcard at the Scratch2Cash site that is based on the popular noughts and crosses game. X&O is as simple and straightforward to play as noughts and crosses, but in this scratchcard version you can win up to £200,000. Like all Scratch2Cash games, when you play X&O the odds of you winning any prize at all are around 1 in 3, so you could easily grab yourself a win in your very first session – and maybe on your first attempt!

Granny Prix

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:39:56 GMT

Granny Prix takes six feisty grandmothers, sits each one in a racing car and lets them loose in a brilliant nine panel online scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino. You might not normally associate grannies with motor racing in the real world, but in the world of online scratchcards, anything is possible. The graphics in Granny Prix are bright and colourful, attention to detail is high and the audio effects and animations that are unleashed when you win a prize are superb. Talking of prizes, you can win up to 2,500 times your stake when you play Granny Prix, so racing on this particular track can be very rewarding!

Letter Quest

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:50:39 GMT

Letter Quest is such a unique online scratchcard game at the National Lottery site that we are almost tempted to describe it as revolutionary. Why? Well, because it is one of the first online scratchcards we have seen that takes place in a fully rendered 3D world – the kind of which you might find in a video console game. Each Letter Quest game costs £2 and the top prize is worth £60,000. Your overall chance of winning any prize at all is 1 in 4.1, but if you are anything like us you would enjoy playing the game regardless of prize potential, because it really is brilliant.

Hi-Lo Dice

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:34:20 GMT

Hi-Lo Dice at Mecca Games is a very elegant hi-lo instant win game that involves rolling dice and betting on whether the total of the dice will be higher or lower than the previous total. Like almost all hi-lo games, the amount that you can win on each guess is determined by the likelihood of you guessing correctly, but each Hi-Lo Dice game gives you at least three ‘free’ rolls which don’t put any of your winnings at risk. We will explain just how useful that feature is in a few minutes, but first we should tell you how the game is presented and how it works.

Golden Ghouls

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:32:01 GMT

Golden Ghouls is a nine-panel online scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino that combines modern tongue-in-cheek cartoon graphics with the kind of creatures that usually featured in horror movies in the 1950’s. We’re talking about werewolves, mummies, hunchbacks and vampires. There are six such characters in all, and each is associated with a different prize amount. Hit the top prize and you will win 250 times your stake!

Christmas Bonanza

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:31:48 GMT

Christmas Bonanza is an online scratchcard at the National Lottery site that could give you a top prize of £85,000, which would be more than enough to cover the average Christmas shopping bill for quite a few years! Christmas Bonanza scratchcards cost £2 each and the odds of you winning any prize at all are 1 in 2.96. The game has a traditional Christmas theme, and comprises three games in one, so if chestnuts roasting by an open fire make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, Christmas Bonanza will be a real treat for you.

Darts

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:51:46 GMT

Darts has been a popular game in bars, pubs and social clubs for decades, and now there is a Darts instant win game at the Scratch2Cash website that gives you a chance of winning up to £200,000. Although darts in the real world requires a good deal of skill, the instant win version is – rather fortunately for many of us – a game of chance. 1 in 3 online scratchcards is a winner, and you can either participate in a convincing simulation of throwing the darts yourself or you can get the game to throw the darts on your behalf.

Foamy Fortunes

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:25:26 GMT

The Foamy Fortunes online scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino is unlike any other scratchcard game that you have ever played, for a variety of reasons. First, it takes place in a bathtub. Second, it requires you to pop bubbles that – just like the real thing – are visible at one moment but have disappeared the next. Third, and perhaps most surprisingly, getting three rubber ducks isn’t a good thing! The good news is that all of the previous points make Foamy Fortunes a unique game that you will love – especially if you are lucky enough to win 10,000 times your stake!

Disco Keno

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 16:37:01 GMT

Disco Keno is an online scratchcard game at Hopa which combines the unflagging appeal of scratchcards with the popular game of keno and a funky disco soundtrack. The game is colourful, musical, can be played at two different speeds and offers up to £200,000 in prize money. As if all of that wasn’t enough, you can play up to eight cards at once. Your chances of winning a prize with a single card are 1 in 3, so Disco Keno could enable you to win again and again!

Christmas Presents

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 15:30:50 GMT

The Christmas Presents instant win game at the National Lottery site gives you the opportunity to try your hand at being Santa. The game costs £2 to play (you can of course try it out for free) and gives you a 1 in 2.84 chance of winning a prize. The top prize is worth £70,000, so if you win that you’ll be able to afford as many mince pies, Christmas crackers and candy canes as your festive heart desires. Even better, you don’t have to wait until Christmas to play!

Funky Monkeys

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:31:56 GMT

This Funky Monkeys scratchcard game can be played at Mecca Games. It is a simple nine-panel scratchcard which takes six different monkeys and puts them in a seventies-style disco band. Will your band release a number one hit and win you a cash prize? It’s worth playing the Funky Monkeys scratchcard to find out, because you can win up to 2,000 times your stake. You will also be treated to some groovy disco beats whenever you win any prize at all. Anyone who said that disco was dead hasn’t played Funky Monkeys!

7 Times Lucky

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:02:05 GMT

7 Times Lucky is a National Lottery online scratchcard that will delight all players who like their scratchcard games to last longer than just a few seconds. As the name of the game suggests, 7 Times Lucky gives you at least seven different chances to win a prize. Tickets cost £2 each, the top prize is £70,000 and the odds of you winning any prize at all are 1 in 4.45. But be warned, if you are looking for a ‘one scratch and its all over’ game then 7 Times Lucky isn’t for you – this game will keep you busy for a lot longer than you think!

Freezing Fuzzballs

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:41:52 GMT

Freezing Fuzzballs is a wintery online scratchcard at Ladbrokes Casino, but instead of symbols being hidden behind scratch panels, a variety of symbols (the Fuzzballs of the title) are imprisoned in large ice cubes. The game is very cutesy and boasts a great winter wonderland backdrop that includes fir trees, a snowman and a warm cabin. The ice cubes containing nine Freezing Fuzzballs appear in the foreground on the right hand side of the card. On the left hand side of the card are the six Fuzzballs that feature in the game, and each one is accompanied by a multiplier figure.

Diamond Mine

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:17:14 GMT

Diamond Mine is a clever instant win game that combines the best elements of an online scratchcard with the excitement of a slots game to create something truly unique. At first glance the Jackpotjoy game looks like many other scratchcard games, with the main card showing a grid of nine scratch panels, but the grid has been tilted by 45 degrees so that is has a diamond shape. However, that isn’t the thing that makes the Diamond Mine scratchcard game unique. What makes it different to most other nine panel scratchcards is the fact that you don’t actually scratch the panels to reveal the symbols hidden underneath – you spin them!

World Cup

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:46:07 GMT

World Cup is an online scratchcard game with, as you might have suspected, a football theme. The game, which can be played at Hopa as well as at Scratch2Cash, involves a nail-biting penalty shootout, and your job is to beat the score that Brazil has already achieved in order to win the World Cup for your own team. Serious soccer fans will no doubt wonder why every World Cup final in this game has to involve Brazil, but the rest of us can concentrate on enjoying the scratchcard itself and shooting for £200,000!

Firework Fortune

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:57:06 GMT

Firework Fortune is an instant win game from the National Lottery site that allows you to set off your very own firework display and perhaps win a jackpot of £15,555 at the same time! Why all the 5’s in that jackpot figure? Because the 5th of November is Guy Fawkes night in the UK, and fireworks are traditionally used to celebrate the foiling of Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot against the Houses of Parliament on 5th November, 1605.

The Fairy Tale

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:25:48 GMT

The Fairy Tale is a magical online scratchcards game that you can play at the Scratch2Cash web site. The game gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning any prize, and the top prize is worth £200,000, so when you play The Fairy Tale your dreams of riches really could come true. The gameplay is very simple, but the graphics are gorgeous and will appeal to anyone who has ever imagined stumbling across a fairytale castle. The colour scheme is bright and colourful, audio is genuinely enchanting and the whole game is a real treat for the senses.

Plunder the Sea

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:35:02 GMT

Plunder the Sea is an online scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino, but instead of scratching panels you have to pop bubbles under the sea to reveal the symbols hidden underneath. There are two games in Plunder the Sea – one requires you to match sea creatures and the other involves opening a sunken treasure chest. The game features bright, proud graphics, suitably fluid sound effects and a delightfully straightforward interface that allows you to start playing for cash within moments of logging in.

Golden Balls

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:09:26 GMT

Golden Balls is an online scratchcard version of the popular television game show of the same name. If you are already familiar with the Golden Balls television show (which is hosted by comedian Jasper Carrott) then you will love this scratchcard version of the game at Jackpotjoy. Even those who haven’t seen Golden Balls on TV will find this online version easy to get to grips with, and as well as being a lot of fun the game gives you the chance to win some brilliant cash prizes.

Cash Grid

Wed, 7 Oct 2009 15:31:54 GMT

Cash Grid is an online scratchcard game that gives you four ways to win. The game can be played for £2 at the National Lottery site (or for free if you play for fun only), and the top prize is £75,000. The odds of you winning any prize are an incredible 1 in 2.98, so you probably won’t need to play many games at all before you hit a winner! We won on our very first attempt (unfortunately the jackpot proved elusive) and you have a 1 in 2.98 chance of doing the same!

Crazy Ball

Tue, 6 Oct 2009 15:33:17 GMT

Crazy Ball is an online scratchcard game at Hopa that goes where no online scratchcard has gone before. No, we’re not talking about the deepest, darkest depths of outer space, but a place much closer to home – the local ten pin bowling alley! Crazy Ball gives you three separate bowling lanes to play in every game, and if you beat the score achieved by the unseen Champion then you win a cash prize that could be as high as £200,000!

Game, Set and Scratch

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 17:26:25 GMT

Game, Set and Scratch is an online scratchcard at Ladbrokes Casino that has a thoroughly enjoyable (and inevitably tongue-in-cheek) tennis theme. Every Game, Set and Scratch card gives you two chances of winning, so you will get double the gaming action for your money and if your first ‘serve’ isn’t up to scratch you could well win yourself a prize on your second attempt.

Treasure Island

Thu, 1 Oct 2009 09:33:27 GMT

Treasure Island is a wonderfully atmospheric online scratchcard game at Scratch2Cash that involves opening treasure chests on an unnamed remote (and, we’re guessing, tropical) island. You can win up to £200,000 playing this game, and the chance of you winning any prize at all is 1 in 3. Gameplay is very simple and that makes Treasure Island a title that will particularly appeal to traditional scratchcard fans who like to get straight down to the business of winning!

Footballers' Widows

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:34:22 GMT

Footballers’ Widows is definitely in our Top 10 of the most unusual online scratchcards that we have ever had the pleasure of playing. The game can be found at Jackpotjoy and involves you helping a woman who is married to an obsessive football fan. At the end of her tether, the wife has decided to teach her husband a lesson by getting you to throw his possessions out of the windows, one by one. Every time you manage to throw one of his treasures out of a window you double your money!

Big Money Scratchcard

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:28:16 GMT

The Big Money scratchcard at the National Lottery website is a beautifully designed traditional scratchcard game that will appeal to everyone reading these words.

We don’t often make such a sweeping statement, but this Big Money scratchcard has everything that an online scratchcards player could want, including three games for the price of one, the chance to win up to 7 times per game, a top prize of £90,000 and a 1 in 4.46 chance of winning any prize at all. Impressed yet? You should be!

Whack-A-Jackpot

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:29:58 GMT

It never ceases to amaze us how inventive online scratchcard games can be, and Whack-A-Jackpot at Ladbrokes Casino is a case in point. This game isn’t based on a board game, casino game or even on a traditional scratchcard game, but on the kind of game that a child might play in an amusement park or arcade. Yes, you guessed it, Whack-A-Jackpot is an online scratchcard version of Whack-A-Mole, and it is so well done that you are likely to forget that it’s a scratchcard until you win one of the cash prizes!

€100,000 Win at Hopa!

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:36:56 GMT

A player at the Hopa online scratchcards site is celebrating in style after winning a prize worth €100,000 on Tuesday 22 September, 2009. The winner, who has been named as Lydie A, lives in France and was playing Super Slot 7, one of the most popular slot machine themed games that is offered at the scratchcards site. She bought a card for €10 and watched it become a €100,000 fortune within a matter of moments!

Miss Hi-Lo Club

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:30:10 GMT

Miss Hi-Lo Club is an elegant instant win game at the Gameshow Casino that gives you the chance to win up to 1,000,000 by predicting whether the next number in a series will be higher or lower than the previous one. This is a fairly common theme that most online scratchcards players will be familiar with (especially if you have been reading through our reviews) but how that concept is implemented varies from game to game. We’re glad to say that Miss Hi-Lo Club presents the game in great fashion, setting it in a stylish club environment…

Bon Appetit

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:55:38 GMT

Bon Appétit is a game that can be played at both Scratch2Cash and Hopa online scratchcards sites, and the surprising thing about it is the fact that it isn’t really a scratchcards game. Bon Appétit can best be described as a slot machine that has been designed to appeal to online scratchcards players. That means the game doesn’t take itself as seriously as many regular slots games, but manages to provide a slots experience that is packed with the kind of fun, colour and personality that scratchcard players really appreciate.

Snakes & Ladders Lucky Gems

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:52:09 GMT

Snakes and Ladders Lucky Gems is a newer version of the highly popular Snakes and Ladders game at the National Lottery website. This new version makes you feel as if you are playing Snakes and Ladders in the time of the Arabian Nights. It employs soothing Eastern melodies and mystical graphics, including magic lamps and – as you would expect – a variety of lucky gems. The top prize in the Snakes and Ladders Lucky Gems game is £50,000 and tickets cost £2 each. The overall odds of you winning a prize are 1 in 3.20.

Slam Funk

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:38:23 GMT

Slam Funk combines the sport of basketball with the magic of disco music to create a truly unique online scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino. The game features a variety of outlandish characters sporting crazy seventies accessories, including headbands and oversized hairstyles. The Slam Funk scratchcard itself is divided into two main sections. On the left are the six main characters, each of which is associated with a different prize multiplier. On the right is a three by three grid of scratch panels that are used to play the game.

Top Trumps Celeb

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:56:15 GMT

Top Trumps Celeb is an instant win title that you will find at the Mecca Games site. Like the Top Trumps Horror title that we have reviewed previously, this instant win offering involves playing the popular Top Trumps card game. The main difference here is that the characters are celebrities rather than creatures from the horror genre, so if you’re the kind of online scratchcards player who enjoys all things celebrity, Top Trumps Celeb is a game that you will want to take a good look at.

Down the Hatch Hi-Lo

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:47:15 GMT

Down the Hatch Hi-Lo is an instant win game at Virgin Games that features Mel, a rather unique character who you may have come across before if you have previously played Underground Hi-Lo at the same site. In this game, Mel sits at a bar drinking pint after pint of beer as you predict whether the next number in a series will be higher or lower than the previous one. The range of possible numbers is 1 to 49 and the amount you win on a correct prediction depends on how likely that outcome was, as we will explain in a moment.

Splash Cash

Wed, 9 Sep 2009 16:36:10 GMT

Splash Cash is an instant win game at Hopa that bears a striking resemblance to a game played on television in the UK (and no doubt in other countries around the world). The game involves a contestant standing in front of a small swimming pool as a wall with a curiously-shaped hole approaches. The contestant has to adjust their body to get through the hole when the wall reaches them. If they fail in that task the wall pushes them unceremoniously into the water. Splash Cash recreates the TV game for online scratchcard enthusiasts and rewards success with a cash prize!

£100,000 Spooky

Tue, 8 Sep 2009 16:35:15 GMT

The £100,000 Spooky scratchcard game at the National Lottery website is one that all fans of lottery scratchcards will love. The top prize in this £1 scratchcard game is £100,000 and it has a ‘spooky’ theme that makes one think of Halloween, ghosts, bats and all things… uhm… spooky. Although the game itself plays very much like an offline scratchcard, £100,000 Spooky makes great use of audio and animation to create an intense atmosphere. Now all you have to do is have the nerve to play for those spooky cash prizes…

Six Shooter Looter

Mon, 7 Sep 2009 16:30:14 GMT

Six Shooter Looter is an instant win game at Ladbrokes Casino with a humorous Wild West theme. The game takes place on a board of spaces that are littered with danger symbols (actually they look like cattle skulls) and cash prize multipliers. Your job is to help a cowboy to safely navigate his way from the bottom left of the screen, across all of the spaces and to the bank at the top right of the screen. If you can do that then you’ll land yourself the jackpot, which is 25,000 times your stake!

Big Top Scratchcard

Thu, 3 Sep 2009 16:51:34 GMT

Roll up, roll up and step right this way to play the Big Top scratchcard at Mecca Games. Okay, that’s enough of the ringmaster impersonation, but we were so impressed with this circus-themed game that we couldn’t resist opening with it. The game itself is very simple and user-friendly and plays much like an offline scratchcard – simply scratch the panels to see if you have won a prize. The big difference with the Big Top game is that it is packed with great little animations and some of the best circus sound effects that we’ve ever come across in a scratchcard title.

Jungle Joy

Wed, 2 Sep 2009 17:08:31 GMT

Jungle Joy is a wonderfully relaxing scratchcard game that you can play at Scratch2Cash. It’s relaxing because, as the name suggests, Jungle Joy is set in the jungle, and not only does it boast a nice graphical backdrop but it also has a smooth and steady jungle rhythm soundtrack. Of course, the relaxation soon goes out of the window when you win a big prize, but we don’t think you’ll be too worried about that!

Cubis

Tue, 1 Sep 2009 17:35:12 GMT

Cubis is another game at Lottery.co.uk that is technically defined as a slots game but plays like a very entertaining instant win game. You can win up to 50,000 coins playing this game and, like the Jenga title that we previously reviewed, Cubis provides players with what can only be described as an audio-visual treat. The Cubis game takes place in what looks like the corner of a box, with a horizontal and two vertical planes. Each plane is a grid of 25 squares that hold 25 beautifully coloured dice and the aim is to win cash prizes by getting matching dice in a line. The more dice you match in a line (or in several lines), the more you can win.

Pot of Gold Scratchcard

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:02:19 GMT

The Pot of Gold scratchcard game at the National Lottery site is an imaginative rethinking of the classic Snakes and Ladders game, but instead of sliding down snakes and climbing ladders, you’ll be falling down wishing wells and soaring over the rainbow. That’s because, as we all know, there is a Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow for those who are lucky enough to find it. If you find the Pot of Gold in this game, which costs just £2 to play, you’ll win the top prize of £50,000!

Hairy Fairies

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:55:16 GMT

The Hairy Fairies scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino looks, at first glance, as if it features a host of cute little fairies that might live at the bottom of your garden. You might initially think of Tinkerbell, toadstools, delicate wings and fairy dust. However, if you look just a little closer you will discover that things aren’t quite as they first appear. In this game the fairies are mostly men of the pot-bellied, bearded, bespectacled, unshaven and hairy variety. If you find that disappointing then the good news is that these hairy fairies are a lot of fun and they can help you to win some fantastic cash prizes…

Top Trumps Horror

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:24:24 GMT

Top Trumps Horror is an engrossing instant win game that you can play at the ever-popular Mecca Games site. It is played very much like the offline version of Top Trumps, but here the game has a horror theme and it awards cash prizes whenever a character in your deck of Top Trumps Horror cards beats the character of your opponent. If you haven’t played Top Trumps before then bear with us and we’ll explain exactly what you have to do – it’s all fairly straightforward and we promise that you will love every second of the game when you start playing.

Hi Lo 54

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:39:12 GMT

Hi Lo 54 is an instant win game at Hopa that is as simple and straightforward as an instant win game can get, but still manages to be incredibly enjoyable and entertaining. The name of the game is derived from the fact that Hi Lo 54 requires you to look at a certain number in the range 1 to 54 and decide if the next number to be picked will be higher or lower. The game itself is very nicely presented, and features a silver Hi Lo number machine that has a square window with a prize panel above it. An arrow pointing up is located above the machine, and an arrow pointing down is located below it.

Jenga

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:33:30 GMT

Jenga is a colourful and brilliantly entertaining game that you can play at Lottery.co.uk. Technically the game is described as a slot machine, but it plays very much like an instant win game and is so much fun (and potentially lucrative) that players of online scratchcards are sure to want to give it a go. If you are familiar with the traditional game of Jenga then you won’t be surprised to learn that the Jenga instant win game involves a tower of blocks.

Offside and Seek

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:55:49 GMT

Offside and Seek is a football-themed scratchcard title at Ladbrokes Casino that boasts two games in one. Sleek graphics, smooth animation and atmospheric sound – along with a great tongue-in-cheek approach – make this game well worth playing even if you don’t actually have an interest in the game of football itself. And if you are a fan of football then you will love Offside and Seek even more, especially if you are lucky enough to land the top prize of 10,000 times your stake!

Mousetrap

Thu, 6 Aug 2009 16:28:40 GMT

Mousetrap is one of the latest online instant win games at the National Lottery site to be based on a board game of the same name, and if you have ever played Mousetrap from Hasbro then you will have a good idea about what to expect. The board game involved a mouse running around an elaborate mouse whilst always seeking to avoid getting caught. The online Mousetrap instant win game is very similar, but here you are playing for real cash prizes worth up to £20,000!

Bingo Keno

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 14:28:54 GMT

Bingo Keno combines the popular game of keno with a bingo-style approach to provide a fast-paced instant win experience that could make you rich! When we say rich we aren’t exaggerating – you could win up to 50,000 times your stake when playing Bingo Keno at the Gameshow Casino, and you can bet anything from 1 to 10 credits per game. That gives you the potential to win up to 500,000 credits in a matter of seconds!

Mister Joker

Tue, 4 Aug 2009 12:54:30 GMT

Mister Joker is one of the simplest instant win games you could ever hope to play, and one that is ideal for players who like to get straight down to the business of winning with as little fuss as possible. The game is available at both Hopa and Scratch2Cash, so if you haven’t already signed up with both of those sites it makes sense to join the one you are not yet a member of and pick up a new player bonus at the same time!

Lucky Numbers

Mon, 3 Aug 2009 16:35:33 GMT

Lucky Numbers is a very atmospheric instant win game that is inspired by the Chinese fascination with – you guessed it – lucky numbers. The game can be played at Ladbrokes Casino for fun only, or you can stake real money and give yourself a chance of winning real cash prizes. Each game actually consists of two separate scratchcard games so you get twice as much fun for your money and two opportunities to see if Lady Luck will reward you with a welcome windfall!

10 Grand

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:23:08 GMT

10 Grand is a brand new instant win game from the National Lottery. You can play for free if you only want to play for fun or you can buy a real 10 Grand online scratchcard ticket for £1 and give yourself a chance of winning up to £10,000. The overall odds of winning any prize at all when playing 10 Grand are 1 in 4.46. That’s slightly less than some other National Lottery scratchcard games, but when you consider that 10 Grand only costs £1 (and some other National Lottery games cost £2) you could easily afford to buy twice as many tickets to increase your chances!
