How to play Ice Pop Scratch
- Pick a card price: 5, 10, 25 or 50 Jovaro Coins.
- Press New card. The price comes off your balance and a fresh card slides out, covered in teal frost.
- Scratch the frost by dragging a finger or your mouse across it. Once most of it is gone the rest melts away on its own. Prefer the quick way? Press "Reveal all".
- Three matching stickers anywhere on the nine squares collect the multiple from the key. Then grab a new card whenever you like.
The key, sticker by sticker
The key under the card lists six stickers, from the everyday to the rare. Each multiple is applied to the price you paid for that card.

- 3 × Ice Pop2× the card price
- 3 × Pinwheel3× the card price
- 3 × Parade Drum5× the card price
- 3 × Fanfare Trumpet10× the card price
- 3 × Star Balloon50× the card price
A card holds at most one set of three, so there is never any double counting. On a 10 JC card, three Fanfare Trumpets collect 100 JC and three Star Balloons collect 500 JC. Two of a kind is just two of a kind: pretty, but it pays nothing.
How rounds and coins work
Each card is one round. Its result is fixed the moment the card is dealt; scratching only uncovers what is already printed underneath, so there is no right or wrong way to scratch and no technique to learn. You need to finish a card, by scratching or pressing Reveal all, before the next one comes out. The free refill on the game panel tops your balance back up to 5,000 Jovaro Coins whenever it dips below that. Coins can't be cashed, traded or given away, and they have no value outside the game.
Scratch, sip, step away
Scratch cards are over in seconds, so it is easy to lose count. If you would like a nudge, turn on reality checks, or take a break from all games for an hour, a day or a week, from our responsible play page.
The story: the cart with the striped umbrella
It parks at the same corner every year, under a coral and white umbrella with one spoke that never quite opens. Blue raspberry and grape are the big sellers. The wrappers come printed with a frosty little panel on the back, and half the fun of buying one is scraping it with a thumbnail while the pop starts dripping down your wrist.
We kept that ritual and swapped the thumbnail for a fingertip. The stickers under the frost are the same festival crew you will find on Fiesta Reels, from the Maracas to the Star Balloon that everybody hopes to see three times.
Ice Pop Scratch questions
Does the way I scratch change the result?
Not at all. The card is decided when it is dealt. Scratching slowly, quickly or not at all just changes how you uncover it.
Why won't the game give me a new card?
The current card has to be finished first. Scratch off the rest of the frost or press Reveal all, and New card works again.
What does three Maracas actually do?
It returns the price of the card, so the round ends level. Think of it as a free refill on your ice pop.
