-
- No Purchase Necessary: Players get digital scratch cards, often free, from a business via text message, email, or QR code.
-
- Display: The card appears on the screen with a hidden area covered by a digital coating. It might display “Scratch Here”. – Examples.
-
- Reveal Mechanism: Players can “scratch” the card by swiping on the covered area, which uncovers a prize, symbols, or numbers underneath.
-
- Winning Combinations: Once revealed, the game checks for winning combinations based on preset rules (like matching symbols or hitting specific numbers) or an image of the prize won.
-
- Payouts: If a player wins, they see the prize they won. This action is done instantly in many cases.
-
- Game Variations: Different themes, graphics, prizes, and mechanics often add variety to the experience.
