Arriba Scratch is a scratch game by Boldplay, released in January 2021. The game uses a Mexican festival style with references to 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 slots with spinning reels, Arriba Scratch works as a scratch ticket: the player reveals symbols and receives a payout by matching 3 identical signs. Game catalogues list an RTP of 95.77%, while some operators offer 96.22%. Volatility is low and the maximum win reaches 1000x the stake.

Game features

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

Bonus mechanics

Scratch Pot is the key feature in Arriba Scratch. When suitable winning combinations appear on the field, the player has a chance to receive the progressive Scratch Pot jackpot. This adds further interest because a larger prize remains possible in addition to standard instant payouts.

Arriba Scratch does not use classic Free Spins, Wilds or Scatters in the usual slot format. The game focuses on quick results, simple symbol matching and an immediately clear outcome. This format may suit 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. The symbols feature masks, skulls, candles, music elements, festival details and other visual motifs from the Mexican celebration. The overall style is colourful without being overloaded, focusing on a recognisable carnival atmosphere and quick gameplay.

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

Popularity among players

Arriba Scratch is popular with players from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand and Australia. Interest in the game is linked to its Mexican theme, low volatility, clear scratch-ticket mechanics and the possibility of winning up to 1000x the stake.

The game is viewed as a light Boldplay format for quick sessions. Its main attractions are not spinning reels but revealing symbols, matching 3 identical signs, instant payouts and the progressive Scratch Pot jackpot.
