Scratch Card Games

With so many brands online now offering a selection of scratch card and instant win games it is sometimes difficult to know which are the best. Each and every week new scratch card games are launched with each different site offering a multitufe of instant win games. Here we take a look at some of the best scratch card games available online today, how the game plays and what the top prizes on offer are on each of these instant win games.

Blockbusters

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.

Rocks to Riches

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

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 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.

Farm a Fortune

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.

Bingo

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

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 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.

Classic Slots Scratchcard

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

Aces High

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

The Lost Maya

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!

Cash Farm

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.

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

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.

100m Champion

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

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

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

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

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

X&O is an online scratchcard at the Scratch2Cash site that is based on the popular noughts and crosses game.

Granny Prix

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

Even better, you don’t have to wait until Christmas to play!

2nd November 2009 3:30 PM

Funky Monkeys

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

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

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.

26th October 2009 3:41 PM

Diamond Mine

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!

Continue reading Diamond Mine.

22nd October 2009 3:17 PM

World Cup

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

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.

19th October 2009 3:57 PM

The Fairy Tale

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.

15th October 2009 4:25 PM

Plunder the Sea

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

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.

12th October 2009 3:09 PM

Cash Grid

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!

7th October 2009 3:31 PM

Crazy Ball

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!

Continue reading Crazy Ball.

6th October 2009 3:33 PM

Game, Set and Scratch

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.

Continue reading Game, Set and Scratch.

Treasure Island

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

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

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.

Whack-A-Jackpot

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!

A player at the Hopa online scratchcards site is celebrating in style after winning a prize worth €100,000 on Tuesday 22 September, 2009.

Miss Hi-Lo Club

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

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

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

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

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

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.

10th September 2009 4:47 PM

Splash Cash

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

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

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

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.

Continue reading Big Top Scratchcard.

3rd September 2009 4:51 PM

Jungle Joy

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!

Continue reading Jungle Joy.

2nd September 2009 5:08 PM

Cubis

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.

1st September 2009 5:35 PM

Pot of Gold Scratchcard

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!

31st August 2009 4:02 PM

Hairy Fairies

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

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.

25th August 2009 3:24 PM

Hi Lo 54

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.

24th August 2009 4:39 PM

Jenga

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.

19th August 2009 1:33 PM

Offside and Seek

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!

Continue reading Offside and Seek.

17th August 2009 3:55 PM

Mousetrap

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

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

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

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

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!

Goal! Three 2 Win

Goal! Three 2 Win is a football-themed instant win game that you will find over at the Gameshow Casino. If you’re a football fan then you will obviously love being able to play an online instant win game that is based on your favourite sport, but we think that Goal! Three 2 Win is a game that even non-football fans should have a go at. Why? Because it’s colourful, entertaining and it gives you the chance to win up to 500,000 credits! The Goal! Three 2 Win game screen shows a grid of 36 footballs, to the left of which is a feature ladder that reaches several cash prizes of increasing value.

Roulette

The Roulette scratchcard game at Hopa is a fairly self-explanatory game as far as theme is concerned. The game features a traditional European roulette wheel with the numbers 1 to 36 and a single green zero, and to the right of this wheel are five scratchcard Game panels, each of which represents a bet on a single number.

Strike It Rich

Strike It Rich is a National Lottery instant win game based on the television game show of the same name, though you may also remember it as Strike It Lucky if you happened to watch it prior to 1996. The top prize in the Strike It Rich instant win game is £55,000, which isn’t at all bad for a £2 investment. Even better is the fact that your odds of winning any prize at all are an excellent 1 in 2.54!

Underground Hi-Lo

Underground Hi-Lo is, as you might well have guessed, a Hi-Lo instant win game set in the London underground. The game can be played at Virgin Casino and it takes a similar approach to the King Arthur’s Hi-Lo game that has already been reviewed here at Scratchcards. Namely, your character has the chance to climb four levels to win anything up to £25,200! The basic concept of Underground Hi-Lo is fairly easy to grasp. You play as a character called Mel who has decided to go on a pub crawl around London.

Beerfest

Beerfest is a three-in-one scratchcard at Ladbrokes Casino that once again shows just how much humour it is possible to pack into an online scratchcard game. As the title suggests, Beerfest has a German beer festival theme, and each game consists of three separate mini-games that you can choose to play in whatever order you like. Our advice is to play them in order in the first instance, and that’s because they do form a nice beginning, middle and end narrative that is worth appreciating.

All-Star Family Fortunes

Banana-Rama

Banana-Rama is a scratchcard-type game with a difference at the Gameshow Casino. The big difference here is that the game gives you thirty panels to peek under, and a top prize of 500,000 credits to play for. Another thing that makes Banana-Rama fairly unique is the fact that previous games can lead to future prizes. Confused? Don’t be. Read on and all will become clear. The Banana-Rama scratchcard game board is a six by five grid of circular panels with bananas on them...

Crypt Crusade

Crypt Crusade is an instant win game at Ladbrokes Casino which has the same kind of format as Bunny Boiler. The big difference here is that you don’t follow the escapades of a rabbit venturing into a burrow, but rather the adventures of an Indiana Jones type character as he pursues treasure worth up to 25,000 times your bet! Whilst the format of the Crypt Crusade game is similar to Bunny Boiler, Crypt Crusade has a completely original look and feel.

Bejeweled

Bejeweled is a slots game that can be played at Lottery.co.uk, but scratchcards players will like it because it looks nothing like a slots game. In fact, it looks nothing like any game you would expect to encounter at any online casino. That’s because Bejeweled is based on a computer puzzle game of the same name, and the aim of the game in both versions is to get as many combinations of matching jewels as possible.

Super Zeroes

Super Zeroes is a larger than life scratchcard game at Ladbrokes Casino that features an alarmingly inept group of super heroes. Okay, maybe alarmingly inept is a bit harsh, but as far as super heroes are concerned, this bunch leave a lot to be desired. Of course, that’s why this game is called Super Zeroes in the first place, and the silver lining in the cloud of ineptitude is that the zeroes can help you win some great cash prizes.

Lucky 21

Lucky 21 is an online scratchcard game at Hopa that is based on Blackjack. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Blackjack, it is a popular casino card game that involves trying to beat the dealer’s hand without going over the total of 21. Lucky 21 takes that basic idea, reformats it to make it suitable as a scratchcard game and provides a lot of entertainment as a result, along with a chance to win up to £200,000!

Shut the Box

Shut the Box is an instant win game at Mecca Games that will appeal to any scratchcards and instant win fan who likes to feel fully involved in the game. Shut the Box is based on a traditional pub game and involves a box containing nine tiles numbered 1 to 9 and two dice. The aim is to roll the dice, turn over the tiles that add up to match the total on the dice and then roll again. If you can remove all the tiles you can shut the box. However, if the total on the dice can’t be used to close any more tiles, the game is over.

Scratchcards Double Win

A Scratch2Cash and Hopa double win took place recently in a day of coincidences that will inspire all fans of online scratchcards. First, a player in France won €10,000 playing the Royal Slots triple scratch game at Hopa. Then, on the very same day, another player in France won €20,000 playing the Royal Slots game at Scratch2Cash. We would like to calculate the odds of two different players in the same country winning major prizes on the same game at two different scratchcard sites, but we doubt that it’s possible!

Bunny Boiler

Bunny Boiler is an instant win game at Ladbrokes Casino that involves a rabbit, carrots, prizes and several ways in which the rabbit can die. Don’t worry if you have a sensitive disposition – the Bunny Boiler game is all about cartoon action, the death isn’t real and the rabbit in question will therefore be as fit as a fiddle just as soon as you start the next Bunny Boiler game. Bunny Boiler shows a rabbit burrow which starts at the top left hand side of the screen, descends to the bottom left and then spirals in an anti-clockwork direction to the jackpot right in the middle.

Super Chance

Super Chance is an instant win scratchcard game at Hopa that gives you the chance to win up to £100,000 on a single spin of a large fairground-type wheel.

Dawn of the Bread

Dawn of the Bread can only be described as a bizarre and fiendishly enjoyable online scratchcard game that lurks in the Scratchcards category at Ladbrokes Casino. If you imagine crossing zombies and all that they stand for with the relative innocence of a traditional bakery, and then basing a scratchcard game on the result, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what Dawn of the Bread is all about.

The main Dawn of the Bread game screen shows a ghoulish green baker stretching a batch of dough beside a traditional open oven (look closely at the dough and you’ll see a spider and an eyeball in there somewhere).

Multiplier is an incredibly enjoyable instant win game at the Gameshow Casino that proves once again how the simplest of concepts can often be the most addictive.

The aim of the player is to say Deal for a sum that is greater than the one contained inside his own box, or to say No Deal and hope that his own box is worth more.
