National Lottery Scratchcard Printing
Finding out who prints National Lottery is fairly simple. In fact, it is written on the back of each and every scratchcard – take a look for yourself below:
The back of the Ruby Doubler scratchcard
In the red box, you can see a company called Scientific Games Corporation is responsible.
The company are responsible for managing a number of scratchcard security features, including assigning scratchcards individual game numbers, and the grey stuff that prevents anybody cheating on unscratched scratchcards.
Who Are Scientific Games Corporation?
Scientific Games are an American corporation that provides a range of gambling products and services to lotteries around the world. The company currently owns 69% market share in relation to instant game (scratchcard) designs, programming and logistics.
This is also fitting, because Scientific Games was also responsible for inventing scratchcards back in 1974!
Has There Ever Been Any Printing Errors?
There have been a few instances where there have been printing errors.
In another instance occurring with the Instant £500 scratchcard, there was confusion between the ‘gold bar’ and ‘silver bar’ symbol tricking players into thinking they had won, when in fact, they hadn’t.
Who Is Responsible For Online Scratchcards?
When it comes to online scratchcards, there are a whole host of different gaming providers.
It is common for one online casino to feature games from multiple gaming providers, who are in charge of determining how scratchcards are played, the odds and how often they pay out.
For example, take Lottomart – they offer online scratchcards from providers including Microgaming, NetEnt, Pariplay and Red Tiger Gaming.
