Core Gaming and Ladbrokes launch football-themed scratch cards ahead of the UEFA Euro 2016

The cards, which follow the success of CORE Gaming and Ladbrokes’ market-leading titles such as Scratch 4 Diamonds, each offer at least four fun-filled chances to win. Depending on their stake, players are able to scoop an incredible top prize of up to £250,000.

Mark Rehorst-Smith, Core Gaming’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Scratch cards are among the most popular games we offer, and customers love it when we bring out something new.

“It’s fantastic to partner with such a huge company as Ladbrokes on this range of Scratch and Match games, and we think their online and mobile players will have great fun scratching away this summer.”

The Scratch and Match Trophy card costs just £1, while Scratch and Match League is £2, Scratch and Match Premier is £5 and Scratch and Match Super Cup is £10. The four cards each offer the same four games, but the prizes on offer go up in value depending on the stake.

In the first game players must scratch away at a series of football shirts, and a pay-out of up to £50 is guaranteed if they reveal a ‘No.7’. In game two players must find a 'Goal' within one of six symbols to win a fixed prize.

The really big money is available in games three and four, with players simply needing to match three symbols to win up to £10,000 on the £1 card, or an incredible £250,000 through the Super Cup option.

Premier and Super Cup players get an extra chance to win huge sums should they reveal a golden symbol. They then proceed to the ‘Golden Bonus’ round in which, should they score, Premier players can win up to £100,000 and Super Cup aces can grab a £250,000 top prize.

Rehorst-Smith added: “Customers can enjoy some real thrills from as little as a £1 stake, with some huge money on offer if they are successful. With so many different ways to win there are no boring goalless draws with Scratch and Match!

“We are all really looking forward to the Euros at Core Gaming. Who knows, maybe some of the big winners can put their cash prizes towards seats to watch England in the final in Paris on 10 July!”
