This scratch card is one new kid on the block as compared to other means of gambling. The bunch of first scratch cards was invented and printed in 1974.

The rise of popularity of the scratch card can be credited to the fact that they have low price and very quick results. This was the reason that many other games of such card use came into existence and shot to fame.

A single card could be used to play many games without any change in the rules of the games. The complexity involved in the way to this level was removed by the software engineers.

The exciting part in the scratch card galore was not just cash prizes but other cool gadgets and accessories were also doled out to the winning participants.
