The Joy of Online Scratch Cards
Scratch cards have a slightly unfair reputation. Because the games are so simple in concept, many believe that they must be dull. However, this is to miss the point entirely. It is precisely because scratch cards are straightforward that they are so much fun. You will find out whether you have won in seconds and you don’t need to spend any time studying complicated game rules or strategies. Furthermore, you will receive your winnings immediately, straight to your casino account, which makes it even more enjoyable.
Better yet, while a scratch card may not give you the chance to win the vast amount offered by games such as progressive online slots, they still offer huge payouts. There are some physical scratch cards that give you the chance to win millions, but even online and here at Spin Rio, you will find games that can payout up to 50,000 times your bet or even more.
This combination of simplicity with the chance of enormous payouts is what makes scratch cards the perfect choice for anyone looking to have some fun while relaxing. Even if you would normally enjoy honing your strategy at the Blackjack tables, sometimes you will need a break and it is at these moments when scratch cards truly come into their own. Next time you want to relax, try an online scratch card to discover for yourself just how much fun they can be.
Scratch Cards Strategies and Tips
As noted, unlike games such as Blackjack, there are no real strategies for scratch cards and they are games of pure luck. Once you have placed your bet there is absolutely nothing you can do other than reveal the hidden symbols and hope for the best. However, there are still a few tricks that you can use to ensure you can keep having fun for longer.
If you have ever played online slots then you have probably heard of the concept of Return to Player (RTP). A game’s RTP is the theoretical percentage of the money bet on a game that is paid out to players over time. For example, if a game has an RTP of 97%, then £97 of every £100 bet on it will eventually be paid out to players as winning. However, it is important that you remember that the RTP is calculated over a huge number of game rounds and there is no guarantee that you will win anything. On the other hand, this also means that some lucky players will win more than they bet, and this is what makes gambling fun.
All of the games at Spin Rio have public RTPs and you can normally find them in the games’ help information. Even if it won’t guarantee that you win, it can’t hurt to look for the games with the higher RTPs.
When it comes to games like scratch cards, where there is no skill and it is all about luck, the trick is to manage your bankroll as carefully as possible. The basic idea of never betting what you can’t afford to lose will never change. However, with games such as scratch card, where the pace of play is very fast, you need to be aware that you will be placing bets at a rapid pace. Therefore, before you start playing, you should consider how long you think you would like to play for and how many scratch cards you are likely to play in that time. You then need to divide your bankroll for your gaming session by how many rounds you will play and bet that amount per card. By doing this carefully, you should be able to enjoy the entire session without the risk of running out of funds.
Many players will also impose a win limit. Imagine you start with a bankroll of £100, if you find that you have won £50 (so your budget is now £150) then it may be a good idea to stop playing or at least set that £50 aside. That way you can be sure that you won’t gamble away your winnings and you will have more money to play with next time.
While these are not exactly strategies, by taking these tips on board you can hopefully maximise your fun playing scratch cards and keep playing for as long as you wish.
Explore our Many Scratch Card Themes
There is no denying the fact that all scratch cards are very similar to one another in terms of gameplay. However, each game has a distinct theme and these give them their own characters. There is a great range of themes available here at Spin Rio, and you are sure to find many cards that appeal. For instance, if you are a traditionalist by nature, then you will enjoy the scratch cards with very basic themes, where the theme is essentially the game itself.
Don’t worry if you are looking for something that is more imaginative, we have plenty of options for you. For example, you will find games that take you on adventures traveling through time to ancient civilisations; alternatively, you could join a pirate crew and go in search of buried treasure, or accompany a leprechaun to his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. As you explore the games, you will quickly discover that they can really transport you to different times and places, making the reveal of hidden symbols that much more exciting.
These adventures may not appeal to everyone, but that’s ok, as there are more options to discover. For example, if you would normally play Blackjack, then why not try some of our scratch cards that are modelled on traditional casino games. They are far simpler than the games that they are based upon, but they give you a flavour of the game and of course, give you the chance to land some huge winnings.
There are also scratch cards based upon sports, upon nature, wildlife, and much more. We are sure that no matter what you enjoy, you will find plenty of scratch cards with themes that appeal to you. Furthermore, in many of the games the themes are brought to life through bonus features, which is something that you do not get when playing physical scratch cards. Many of the games have special multiplier symbols that can give your winnings a real boost, and some even offer jackpot prizes. There are even scratch cards that have entirely separate bonus games. The games are normally based upon the themes and give you a little more to do than simply reveal the hidden symbols.
Once you delve into our collection of online scratch cards, we are sure that you will be pleasantly surprised. There are a huge number of games on offer and we are confident that many of them will appeal to you. Better yet, our collection of scratch cards is always growing, so even if you don’t find your perfect game today, there is a chance that you will tomorrow or next week.
