How to play
Choose a card price of 5, 10, 25 or 50 MT and press New card. The postcard appears under a layer of gold foil. Scratch it with your finger on a phone or tablet, or hold the mouse button down and drag on a computer. Once most of the foil is gone the card shows itself, and you can press Reveal all at any moment to skip straight to the end.
Three matching pictures anywhere on the card collect the multiple shown in the key, times the price you paid for the card. Each card holds at most one set of three, so there is no need to hunt for a second. Finish one card before you ask for the next.
Reading the key
The key under the card lists six pictures, from the most common to the rarest. Three cherries give you back the price of the card. Three lemons pay double, three plums three times and three bells five times. Three BARs are worth ten times the card, and three sticks of rock fifty times. When a card is revealed, the matching set is outlined in red so you can see at a glance what came up.
Rounds and tokens
The price of each card leaves your balance when you press New card, and anything collected is added the moment the card is revealed. Whether a card holds a set of three is settled at random when it is dealt, so scratching faster, slower or in a particular order makes no difference. Refill takes you back to 5,000 MT whenever you like.
Playing it light
Scratch cards are quick, and quick games are the easiest to repeat without noticing. A reality-check reminder from our responsible play page is a good companion to this one. Tokens from a scratch card cannot be cashed in or exchanged.
A card for the spinning rack
Somewhere in every seaside gift shop there is a squeaky rack of postcards: donkeys on the sand, the pier at sunset, beach huts in ice-cream colours. We designed this card to sit on that rack, with a stamp in the corner, a line for the address and a row of pictures hiding under the gold. Post it to nobody; keep it for the scratch.
Questions about the postcard
Do I have to scratch the whole card?
No. Clear about half and the rest reveals itself, or press Reveal all straight away.
Can a card have two sets of three?
No. A card has either one set of three matching pictures or none at all.
Does it matter where I start scratching?
Not in the slightest. The pictures are fixed when the card is dealt, so the order you uncover them in is entirely up to you.
