Thanks for providing this video!

Seems like the most effort is made on the non-gaming part of the card than anything.

The deal with BDB here in Florida was rotten, as noted above. Couldn't scratch them, the coating was indeed awful-- and they closed the game with more than $150,000,000 in top prizes left between the million and ten million dollar prizes. Total scam.

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing.

I have noticed that different scraper objects work better/worse depending on exactly what the composition of the scratch material is. What works good on one may not be the best for another. We had one Florida game, Billion Dollar Blockbuster, that was one of the worst to scratch off. The only thing that seemed to work, at least ok, was a penny...

Cool.

Hey, I dig that scraper tool they used at 5:17 in the video. I tried to make one a while ago, but it didn't work too well. Need to get the material and shape/angle just right. Maybe I'll try again.
