About

Scratch Gold Rush

Read full description

‌Whether you’ve been playing scratch cards for years or you’ve never touched one before, it doesn’t really matter. Scratch Gold Rush keeps the best part of scratch cards simple: scratch, reveal, and see the result straight away. Each card brings its own theme and rules, ranging from classic number matching to dice duels, Blackjack, Texas Hold’em, and Bingo-style patterns. They all play a little differently, but none of them require you to study a page of instructions before you can get started. And when you win, that doesn’t necessarily mean the round is over. You can collect your winnings and move on to the next card, or take them into the Risk Game and push your luck. Guess the suit of the face-down card correctly and your reward doubles. Get it wrong and the winnings from that round are gone. Know when to collect, or keep going and see how far you can take it—the choice is always yours. Of course, not every scratch card is going to be a winner. But missing the prize on one card doesn’t necessarily mean you walk away with nothing to show for it. Lucky Spins, Jackpot Gem collection, and other reward events run alongside the scratch cards. An otherwise uneventful result might move your Jackpot progress forward, while a card with no prize of its own could be the one that pushes another reward over the line. So in Scratch Gold Rush, a card doesn’t always come down to simply winning or losing. Sometimes the card itself gives you nothing, while something else has quietly moved one step closer.
