Take a look at Break The Ice

The game board consists of two areas - the ‘winning numbers’, and the player’s numbers. The player portion of the game is a block of ice, under which is deep blue water. In order to reveal the cash sums underneath, the player must break that ice using the tool provided.

Scratching the card produces a satisfying scraping sound, and ice crystals tumble away from the play screen. The bright, clear water shines through when the ice is removed: along with the random numbers and their corresponding amounts.

How to play

Cards cost just €/£1 each, making this one of the best Hacksaw Gaming scratchcards for low-budget players. The maximum prize is a whopping €/£75,000! In order to win that prize, or any of the lower amounts in the game, players need to match one of the three Winning Numbers (at the top of the game card) with any one of their own numbers (under the scratch panel). If the numbers match, the corresponding amount is awarded automatically.

There is just one top prize up for grabs, but there are 1,250,000 €/£0.50 awards on the table - and thousands of other amounts in between. The following are all values that can be won:

• €/£0.50

• €/£1.00

• €/£5.00

• €/£10.00

• €/£25.00

• €/£50.00

• €/£75.00

• €/£100.00

• €/£1,000.00

• €/£10,000.00

• €/£75,000.00

Buy a card and you can scratch it manually, or you can hit the ‘Reveal All’ button to uncover every number and amount instantly. Alternatively, you can set up the autoplay to buy and scratch a number of cards, while you sit back and watch the action unfold.

Break The Ice summary

With the chance of winning €/£75k from a single €/£1 bet, this great little scratchcard is perfect for anyone looking for a quick thrill. The gameplay is very simple, ideal for beginners to online scratchcard gaming, and the rules are easy to understand.
