Try Out Playtech Marvel Branded Scratch Cards
Added: July 30, 2015
The leading software provider Playtech has changed the face of scratch cards and given them considerable respect in the online casino games categories. This change was brought about when Playtech began to release scratch cards to correspond to popular online slots like Easter Surprise and Santa Surprise. Then it followed the same policy for its branded Marvel super hero slots. The background graphics and the symbols in the scratch cards are taken from the slot games and this transfers brand value to the scratch cards. Playtech has also created innovative game play mechanisms for the scratch cards. Some of these are reviewed here. All these games are live at Playtech powered online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino.
Ghost Rider is a popular Marvel super hero. The scratch card is set in a 3x3 grid and you have to reveal matching symbols in a row or column. Each symbol has been given a multiplier. In the event of a match the matching symbol’s multiplier is applied to the bet and this is your payout. The scratch card based on Thor has an added feature. The orb is designated as the bonus symbol. If it appears on the grid, you get to play a pick an object type of bonus game.
In some Playtech branded scratch cards the symbols do not have any multipliers. The win multiplier is randomly revealed in a separate cell when scratched. Also you have to match a specific symbol and the match can be in horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines. In Iron Man 2 you have to match the reactor. In Elektra you have to match any of the like weapons symbols.
The X-Men branded scratch card from Playtech is the most innovative. You have to scratch two cells in each game. If both cells reveal the same character then you receive the full payout. If both cells reveal either super heroes or super villains then you have to settle for half the payout. If one cell reveals a super hero and the other one reveals a super villain, then you lose the game. As in the X-Men online slot, the super heroes have a blue background and the super villains have a red background for easy identification. You are helped by a wild symbol that can act as any character. You can wager on up to 6 games at a time in the same scratch card.
