Like many casino games, scratch cards can be played directly on your mobile phone or PDS. Mobile scratch cards are fun, versatile and very convenient. Instead of traveling to the local lottery retailer or logging onto your computer, you can simply open your mobile phone and scratch away!

Mobile scratch games aren’t as readily available as traditional online scratch cards. The variety is a bit more limited, as are the graphics, of course – there’s only so much you can do with that little browser screen. But the playability, entertainment and profit potential are all the same. A lot of players appreciate mobile scratch cards for their cleanliness as well – no silver flakes under the nails or on your clothes.

Technology has taken us a long way in the last decade or so. In the late 1990’s, we were awed by the ability to play scratch cards and other casino games for real money, just like we did at brick-and-mortar casinos, from Vegas to Macau, and now these same great opportunities can be taken on the road with your mobile phone or hand held device.

Many online casinos that offer scratch cards are the same providers of mobile scratch cards. A number of scratch card sites, dedicated solely to scratch cards, also present mobile scratch card games.

Some examples of mobile scratch cards are the “Scratch & Score” and traditional “Scratch Card” games from Ladbrokes Mobile. Ladbrokes Casino offers a variety of online scratch cards, as well as these two mobile scratch cards.

Scratch & Score: This mobile scratch card has a soccer theme, offering a 2x3 scratch board where the player scratches the symbols in hopes of unveiling 3 like multiplier amounts, ranging from 1x to 50x. The multiplier determines the amount the player wins, based on his stake. For example, a $5 stake with a 50x winner would award $250.

Scratch Card: This mobile scratch ticket works much in the same manner as the Scratch & Score card, but with a more colorful, non-sports theme. Scratch off the 2x3 board and match three like multiplier symbols to win up to $25,000.
