# Scratch cards, wheels and other luck games

Set up a scratch card, spin the wheel, slot machine, mystery box, spin or dice roll, and connect the prizes.

In a luck game, players win by chance. You decide the prizes and the chance to win them, and the game shows the result. The look of the game is just the show: the winner is picked by the prize settings, not by where the wheel stops by itself.

## Set up a luck game

1. Click the game on the page. Its settings open in the left panel.
2. Change the look on the **Content** and **Styles** tabs.
3. Add prizes: under the **Game** page in the flow, click **Prizes** > **Manage**. See [Add a prize](https://scratcher.io/help/prizes/add-a-prize).

## The luck games

- **Scratchcard** and **Scratch Item**: players scratch a cover to reveal icons. See [Scratch cards: cards, icons and cover](https://scratcher.io/help/games/scratch-cards).
- **Spin the Wheel** and **Spin the Bottle**: players spin a wheel of prizes. See [Spin the wheel: slices, design and settings](https://scratcher.io/help/games/spin-the-wheel).
- **Slot Machine** and **Reel Spin**, **Spin**, **Dice Roll**, **Mystery Box** and **Gift Surprise**. See [Slot machine, spin, dice and mystery box](https://scratcher.io/help/games/slot-spin-dice-and-mystery-box).

In every luck game, you link the slices, icons, sides or boxes to your prizes, or to **Win** or **No prize**. The game then shows the result that matches the prize the player won.

## Tips

- Use your own icons and images in your brand colors. The design kit gives the game a look that matches your site.
- Keep the game near the top on mobile, so people see it without scrolling.
- If you want a "no win" result to feel kind, add a small consolation prize with **Fill remaining**. See [Set the win chance and prize limits](https://scratcher.io/help/prizes/win-chance-and-limits).
