Well, after a prolonged hiatus, I am back with a vengeance, and I got it started off on a different note with “Lucky 8’s”, a scratch card game from an RTG casino. This was an Irish themed game, centered around a leprechaun, naturally, and his pot o’ gold. The graphics are cute and kitschy, the kind of thing that would catch your eye at a convenience store rack. The way the game is played is you select your bet amount, ranging from $1.00 to $10.00, then play and scratch, just that easy. There are two sets of scratchers, one has two numbers, the Lucky numbers, that you must match to win, if you make a match you win the prize (bet multiplier or free game), and you can win as many times as you match. The other ways to win are to uncover a Lucky 8 or a Horseshoe, both of which carry the same type of prizes. The gameplay goes pretty quick, as you would imagine, and the payout frequency was pretty high, probably one is every three games I won a prize, and whenever you win you are guaranteed t at least make back your bet with a free card or 1x multiplier! After about 10 minutes of playing, I found myself up around $400, which was pretty good for playing a $10 scratcher, and I only had one really big win, which was about $300. It was pretty mindless, and took even less effort than a slot to play, but the payout was worth it, so I would highly recommend this game as a respite from the constant spinning of the slot reels.
