We all like the potential easy winnings that come with a scratchcard, but what if your local shop has run out, or you’re caught by an impromptu blizzard that prevents you from leaving your house? Fear not – BitStarz is here to help, thanks to Skratcherz, a great scratchcard-themed game from Betsoft that allows you to scratch away to your heart’s content while the kind old man from number 32 makes his way round the neighbourhood with a snow shovel. But what can you win and how do you go about it? Let us enlighten you.

Coins at the Ready

To get started with Skratcherz you need to fund your account to buy the cards with, just like you would at the shops. With funds added you are then invited to purchase one of four scratchcards from a side screen which is then placed into the main screen. Each of these cards costs a different amount, with the more expensive ones giving out bigger prizes, similar to higher bets paying out more. With your chosen card selected, simply scratch off the panels with the virtual coin to see if you’ve won – what could be simpler?

Instant Wins

Your card will indicate if you have scratched off a winning combination, with all wins indicated on the win bar which is located at the right of the display. Skratcherz doesn’t contain any paylines but the four different cards offer you varying prizes and bonuses, outlined here:

• Fortune Cookie – An instant prize will be awarded whenever you reveal a fortune cookie. Reveal two identical numbers in the same row to win, with the prize amount shown in the prize marker to the right of the card.
• Double Deluxe Bucks – This card consists of 12 markers in addition to the six cash numbers. Match any of the cash numbers to win the prize shown for that number.
• Deluxe Bucks – This scratchcard has four markers in addition to the six play markers on the card. If any scratched-off numbers match any of the cash numbers then you are awarded that number.
• Cash Smash – This card requires you to match any five numbers to the smash number, winning you the prize indicated below the matching numbers. Revealing a double symbol will double your prize, with the smash number located on the top right side of the scratch card.
