Club Pogo Lottso! is really a quite simple game based on the concept of bingo and scratchcards, but the complicated looking Lottso! board on which those cards are placed fools many people into thinking the game is tougher than it really is. By the time you have completed studying this page you will know all the secrets there are to know about how to win and win big at Lottso!

Firstly, at the start of each round you receive 6 numbered balls which you must try to fit into corresponding numbers on 6 mini scratchcards on the random Lottso! board which you have been presented for this game. There are 10 rounds in each complete game of Lottso! and the boards will be different at the start of each one.

Each ball placed scores 5 points, and a bonus of 50 points is gained if you match all 6 in any given round. You achieve your main score from first completing and then scratching the individual scratchcards on the Lottso! board. As each scratchcard is completed, a new scratchcard replaces it by dropping into the top of the board at the start of the next round. This new card will bring with it a number of fresh numbers that you must match.

Your goal each Lottso! game, other than winning of course, is to score more than 3000 points to gain a jackpot spin and the possibility of cash (and other) prizes. This is done by completing as many scratchcards as you can and hopefully scoring big points from them as they are completed.

Here is a big hint. If, when you start playing, your score tends to remain low while others increase their scores at a seemingly impossible rate on the Lottso! leader board then you can be sure you have got your tactics wrong. You need these hints and tips about Lottso! bonus cards and Super Lottso! cards to help you compete.

Lottso! Tips & Strategies Winning Strategies and Tips for Lottso! on Pogo Games
Competetive or Team Lottso!?
The first decision to make is do you want to play competetive or team lottso? The only difference between them is the introduction of TEAM CARDS in the team game. Team cards give 50 points to everyone who fills them on that round, adding up to a max of 500 points. If you are playing a team game, pick the room with the most people in it. Also, try and fill 2 or 3 team cards at a time. If you fill 3 cards, for example, then that is 150 points x 3 plus any score from other players also targeting the same team cards - and you can be certain they will once they see the score on those cards rising on that round. Top Tip If you have a choice to fill just one team card when you have several on your Lottso! card, you should try and wait to see if the score will be worthwhile that round. You can always fill the same card on another round when the value is higher.
Bonus Card Tips
Hint! All the really high scores you see have come about through good use of bonus cards. In the competetive Lottso! option this is even more definitely the case. To make those scores yourself it is essential to understand how bonus cards work. In Each game, from round 6 onwards, one card is picked at random to be the bonus. Bonus cards are normal Lottso! scratchcards that are highlighted at the start of each round. Complete that highlighted card on that round and it scores double points in rounds 6, 7 and 8 and treble points in rounds 9 and 10.
Rounds 9 & 10
In these last 2 rounds, bonus cards are worth treble the normal score. If you are lucky enough to complete major cards, such as Aces Up! or Poppa Zoppa, that have gone bonus in these rounds, and you get lucky with the scratchcard 'scratching' you could easily add 2500-3000 per round to your overall score. This is huge!
Make Your Own 'Luck'
Although bonus cards are picked at random each round, you can employ a strategy that will give you the best chance of being able to fill cards as they go bonus. How? Simply be aware that team cards, Lottso! cards, fire cards and Super Lottso! cards never go bonus. So, if you keep these cards on board, there are fewer remaining scrathcards to be chosen as the bonus card and so your chances of catching them at the right time are increased.
More Bonus Card Tips
If you have saved your lottso card and have a Super-Lottso! card on one side, then you know that one of your two remaining cards is going to go bonus. If you can make this work right you will pick up many bonus cards and balls you can't use will normally be of use on the Super-Lottso! or Lottso! cards. This is a fairly high risk strategy but will pay very good dividends if you have just a little luck with the right balls falling each round.
Lottso! Card Tip
Lottso! cards take 6 balls to complete, are worth 250 when they first appear and add 100 every round until someone in the room completes it and takes the current value. They then return to 250 and the process starts again. A simple Lottso! strategy is to fill up five of the balls in the Lottso! card then wait for the best value before completing. If someone else has chosen to take the Lottso! card that round the card begins to tremble and you know it is time to take it if you want the current score. A further advantage of this strategy is that keeping your lottso! card on board narrows down the possibilities of which other cards can go bonus giving you a better chance of cashing in on those.
Super Lottso! Card Tips
Super Lottso! cards take 12 bingo balls to complete, and fill the whole of one side of your Lottso! card. They tend to be a lot of hassle to fill, and although the rewards can seem very worthwhile at the end, if you get unlucky when completing the final scratchcard they can also mess up your score. Generally they are not worth the risk unless you are purposely using them to maximize your chances of filling bonus cards on the opposite side of the board. Super Lottso! cards replace all 3 cards on one side of the screen if all 3 were filled and scratched on the last round. This is pretty rare unless you have contrived for it to happen, which you may want to as some badges require the filling of Super Lottso! cards. If this is the case, fill the cards on one side but DO NOT scratch them until all 3 are complete. Top Tip Avoid gaining a Super Lottso! card after round 6. There very probably are not rounds left to fill it and score from it and you'll be better off using those balls on bonus cards anyway.
Card Value Hints
When are Lottso! scratchcards most valuable? A good hint is that the more balls they need, the better the potential score to gain. Also, if they are 'scratch' rather than 'match' cards, then their potential value tends to be greater. You will soon learn the most valuable cards through trial and error but here is a hint: Aces Up!, Pop Fu, Poppa Zoppa, Tri Peaks Solitaire in that order have the best potential scores. You still have to scratch right tho! Top Tip If you fill one of these high value cards early, you may want to try leaving them for later rounds in the hope of them going bonus. If you follow one or more of the strategies above to maximize the chances of current cards going bonus, and you have held onto your high value cards, you may well be on the way to a stratospheric score!
Fire Card Tip
On the whole, you don't want to see a Fire card. They stay for 3 rounds then fall away removing any scratchcards that remain beneath them. You can use them to your advantage though. If you desire a Super Lottso! card, simply leave all cards beneath them and work only on the opposite side. After 3 rounds the fire card wipes out that side of the board and a Super lottso! card will appear on the next round.
Fire Card Damage Limitation
If you don't want to end up with a Super Lottso card caused by the effects of the fire card, you must clear one of the cards beneath it in the first 2 rounds of its presence. If you do, a new card will drop in above it and you have averted the chance of a Super Lottso! card. Remember fire cards can't go bonus so if you have one in the last 5 rounds they do at least give you a better chance of one of your other cards going bonus.
Lottso! Jackpot Cheat
If all you want to do is gain jackpot spins, either to try to win the cash jackpot or because a badge demands it and you don't have time to play properly, simply choose an empty room and play on your own. The 'winner' of each game gains a jackpot spin even if they don't reach the normal 3000 point goal.
