Online Scratch Cards – Casino Game Review
Scratch cards are popular in countries around the world. Like most forms of gambling these fun and easy games have become very popular at online casinos and real money game sites. There has also been a lot of innovation to scratch cards on the Internet. My local scratch cards have changed little in decades but over the past few years one online gaming company has totally re-invented the scratch card concept. 888 Games has pioneered these new types of scratch card casino games. They have a wide range of scratch card games and no two of them are alike. Simply hoping to match three prizes is as outdated as it is boring. 888 has 26 unique scratch card games and each one has a twist to it.
They utilize HD quality video technology and you can try out the video scratch cards without making a deposit, downloading any software or even signing up for an account. Each scratchcard game at 888 has a special theme and objective. Here are some reviews of my favorite scratch card games available at the 888 game room:
- Dart Master – They will display a score for you to beat. You will use your mouse to pin-point where you hope the dart will land on the dart board. There is also a section that will reveal how much you can win. If your three dart throws add up to higher than the score to beat you will win the prize shown. The darts land randomly so it doesn’t take any skill to play this scratch card game.
- The Duck Shoot – This scratchcard game is nothing like other games. There will be five rows of bulls-eye targets, 25 in total. You will be using your mouse to manipulate a gun in this carnival-like game. You simply aim and shoot the targets. You get a total of six shots and the objective is to shoot the targets that have a yellow duck behind them. Your prize is determined by the number of ducks you find. The payouts for this scratch card game are 1x, 5x, 10x, 50x, 250x and 10,000x. Finding a duck with all six shots is obviously very hard but everyone gets lucky every now and then. My personal best is five ducks for a 250 credit win.
- Tank Commander – Military buffs will enjoy this scratch card. You are a tank commander and you have 10 shells to shoot. There is a battlefield grid with 90 squares. You keep shooting until you hit an enemy target or run out of shells. Enemy targets include gun positions (1X), air fields (5x), other tanks (10x), convoys (50x), radar towers (250x) and command posts (10,000x).
Some of the scratch card games at 888 are simple and follow traditional rules. Others are complex and have many interactive features. Online scratch cards offer much better odds than most local scratch-offs because country/state run lotteries usually donate half the proceeds to education or healthcare. This means that you are essentially risking $1 to win $.50. Internet scratchcard games are also available for as little as $.05 per game and as high as $50.
