Arriba Scratch is a scratch game from Boldplay released in January 2021. It uses a Mexican festival style inspired by the Day of the Dead: masks, skulls, guitars, candles, festival elements and a dark-blue palette create the atmosphere of a night carnival.

The game field uses a 6×3 layout. Unlike classic pokies with spinning reels, Arriba Scratch works as a scratch ticket: players reveal symbols and receive a payout for matching 3 identical icons. Gaming catalogues list RTP at 95.77%, although some operators show 96.22%. Volatility is low and the maximum win reaches 1000x the stake.

• Festival Symbols
• Mobile Play

The main mechanic is simple: find at least 3 identical symbols on the field to receive a payout. This makes Arriba Scratch faster and more direct than a standard video pokie with paylines, free spins and complicated bonus rounds.

Bonus mechanic

Scratch Pot is the key feature in Arriba Scratch. When suitable winning combinations appear on the field, players receive a chance at the progressive Scratch Pot jackpot. This adds extra interest because a larger prize remains possible alongside the regular instant payouts.

Arriba Scratch has no classic Free Spins, Wilds or Scatters in the usual pokie format. The game focuses on quick results, straightforward symbol matching and an immediately clear outcome. This format suits players who enjoy scratch cards, fast rounds and low volatility.

Theme and style

The scratch game uses a Mexican and Day of the Dead theme. Symbols include masks, skulls, candles, musical elements, festival details and other motifs from the Mexican celebration. The overall style is colourful without feeling overloaded, focusing on a recognisable carnival atmosphere and fast gameplay.

Arriba Scratch belongs to the following categories: Mexican games, Day of the Dead games, festival games and scratch cards. It suits players who enjoy simple rules, instant results, progressive jackpots and a mobile format without a complicated bonus structure.

Popularity among players

Arriba Scratch appeals to players in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand and Australia. Its popularity comes from the Mexican theme, low volatility, clear scratch-ticket mechanics and a maximum win of up to 1000x the stake.

The game feels like a light Boldplay format for quick sessions. The main appeal comes not from spinning reels but from revealing symbols, matching 3 identical icons, instant payouts and the progressive Scratch Pot jackpot.
