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.
