How to Play Ice Scratch Gold

Bonus Extras
Bonus Multiplier Wheel
Revealing 3 Wheel icons launches a spinner that can land ×2, ×3, ×5, ×10, or ×20 (Glacier only). The result multiplies your current ticket win — Vancouver-sized flurries can happen.
Free Cards
Three Snowflakes award free tickets. They play just like paid cards and can themselves trigger multipliers or jackpots — a Montreal marathon favourite.
Gold Nugget Panel
Uncovering the Nugget pays a fixed jackpot instantly. Some builds allow Nugget + Wheel stacking; others pay the higher of the two — always read the info panel.
Bankroll & Session Tips
- Pacing: Plan in packs of 10–20 tickets; reassess after each pack.
- Volatility Mix: Use Classic for steady results; sprinkle Glacier tickets when chasing multipliers.
- Free-Card Loops: When Snowflakes are hot, ride the loop; when they cool, step back to Classic.
Mobile & Performance
Haptic-friendly scratching and big tap targets make it great on phones/tablets. Portrait fits the Montreal Metro; landscape helps track ticket history on longer GO Transit rides in the GTA.
Where Canadians Play
Ice Scratch Gold appears at licensed online casinos serving Canada — from Quebec City to Edmonton and Halifax. Availability, RTP, and prize ladders may vary by province and operator; check local rules before depositing.
