How do you know Red Stag Casino real money games are awesome? Nope. It is not the heart-pounding excitement they arouse. Rather it is the range of games that is most notable. One category is like classic slots but it’s not – so scratch it baby and watch as the wins come in!

Scratch or Spin: It Is the Same Thing!

How do you scratch to win? You play the Red Stag Casino real money games arranged under the scratch cards tab. That is where you find a suite of five games. At first glance they resemble classic and online slots.

Well, here is the big reveal. When you unpack the games, the 3x3 grid layout, the themes and the symbols are precisely like slots. That begs the question. Are scratch cards really classic slots in disguise?

Some would say definitely yes. Others would say maybe. We fall into the latter category. Here is why.

How to Win Playing Red Stag Casino Real Money Games

The objective of all Red Stag Casino real money games is to bet on an outcome. If it comes in you win. If not, the wager is forfeited to the casino.

In online blackjack the aim of the game is to accumulate cards to the value of 21 – or as close you can without going bust. Do that and you win. Even if you don’t get 21 but still beat the dealer you bank a bit of loot.

Play roulette online and you can bet on a single number, a group of numbers or more generic characteristics like red or black, odd or even or high or low. If the ball lands in a numbered slot that has any, or all, of these attributes you win one or more of the bets.

No Specific Outcome Required in Online Slots

With slots you do not have to bet on a specific outcome. All that has to happen is for identical symbols to drop on a payline from left to right. You are then paid out the winnings corresponding to that symbol.

Now to the critical question. Are the mechanics of scratch cards the same as slots? In other words, what has to occur for these Red Stag Casino real money games to deliver the moolah?

Win Mechanics of Scratch Cards Match That of Slots

In the real world you buy one or more scratch cards and use a hard object like the edge of a coin to scratch away the surface of the card. If there are three matching symbols on the board, you are in the money.

In the virtual realm it is much, much easier to win. You do not buy a card. Rather you place a bet and hit the scratch button to reveal the hidden contents of the 3x3 grid. Sound familiar?

Play scratch cards at Red Stag and everything from the betting range to the auto-scratch function is the same as the more recent versions of classic slots. Where scratch cards do differ is you do not have to line up game tiles on a payline to win. Provided there are three identical icons anywhere on the grid, you are a winner.

Prizes Strictly for Three of a Kind

Besides the benefit of the pays anywhere rule, what else differentiates scratch cards from classic 3 reel slots? In these Red Stag Casino real money games prizes are strictly reserved for three of a kind. Winning tiles must feature precisely the same game symbol.

That is unlike classic slots like Goblin’s Gold and Hot 7’s Win. Hit one or two cherries on the Goblin’s Gold game board and you are paid out. Similarly, you can win when you land any three lucky 7s or bars on the grid of Hot 7’s Win slot.

That obviously makes it easier to pick up a few dollars here and there. As for the scratch card payouts themselves? Are they in the same range as classic slots?

All Payouts Multiplied by the Total Stake

When it comes to how the games pay out, it is a match. In both cases payouts are quoted as multiples of the total stake. That is contrary to the majority of 5 and 6 reel slots. They typically offer prizes that are multiplied by the bet per line.

As far the the actual winnings go, it boils down to an element called variance or volatility. The first thing to note is all the Red Stag Casino real money games in the scratch card genre have a medium volatility rating. Most of the classic slots are high volatility games.

What that basically means is the amount of money you can win is higher in slots. The drop frequency however is technically lower. That probably evens things out.

What we can tell you is all the scratch cards are Red Stag have the same payout structure. The also share a betting range. Whether you play Rise of the Titans, Leprechaun Frenzy, Aztec Warrior, Play with Cleo or the Bank Heist, you can scoop up a maximum prize of 500 x the stake.

As the betting range is $0.10 to $20 per scratch across the board, you can walk away with $100,000 in your pocket. Play a classic slot like Lucky 7 and you can win exactly the same amount of cash for dropping a red, blue and white 7 on the payline.

Where the money element is ratcheted up a notch is in the classic slots featuring a progressive jackpot. That is an aspect that is not part of the action in scratch cards. There is however another way of filling the proverbial boots when playing Red Stag Casino real money games with scratching at their core.
