Scratch Card History

Scratch Card History can be traced back to America in 1974 when a company called Scientific Games Corporation produced the first computer generated lottery game, but it was not until the 1990's that Online Scratch cards became all the rage with the growth of the online casino industry. The move to Online Scratch Cards has not only seen a big increase in the demand for them from casino players, but has also ensured that the "instant gratification" ideal behind their creation has now become a reality.

The original Scratch Card produced by Scientific Games Corporation was developed by John Koza and Daniel Bower. John Koza is also well known in the computer field as the second person to earn a B.A. in Computer Science in 1964.

Many Scratch Cards take their themes from other famous games such as Poker or Blackjack. Many major American and European sporting brands also have their own version of Scratch Cards.

The first Scratch Card was developed at the request of the Massachusetts Lottery Commission.
