Scritchy Scratchy gadgets guide

Gadgets are where Scritchy Scratchy changes from manual scratch cards into workflow design. Each tool fixes a different bottleneck: scratch speed, movement, stability, claiming, refills, tempo, or late-run odds.

Gadget

Scratch Bot

Automatically scratches a ticket once the route feeds tickets into it.

Anchor for the first real automation setup.

Gadget

Fan

Pushes tickets toward Scratch Bot.

Movement tool that needs support from stability gadgets.

Gadget

Sticky Mat

Keeps tickets from being blown around by the fan.

Stability tool for controlling automated ticket flow.

Gadget

Spellbook

Instantly scratches a ticket and can matter for high-value ticket moments.

Best judged by the specific ticket moment, not by raw speed alone.

Gadget

Mundo

Helps handle ticket claims.

Reduces cleanup friction once scratching and movement are already working.

Gadget

Autobuyer

Automatically buys the selected ticket type.

Removes repeated refill clicks from a stable route.

Gadget

Egg Timer

Speeds up gadgets except the Machine.

Improves tempo after the gadget stack is already useful.

Gadget

The Machine

Improves Final Chance odds while also helping money output.

Special-purpose late-run tool, not a basic scratch-speed gadget.

How to think about gadgets

Do not evaluate every gadget as a simple speed upgrade. Scratch Bot handles scratching, Fan creates movement, Sticky Mat controls that movement, Mundo reduces claim cleanup, Autobuyer removes refill friction, Egg Timer improves gadget tempo, Spellbook handles specific ticket moments, and the Machine is tied to Final Chance and money output.

The best automation route usually appears when those tools support each other. If the run still feels messy, identify the bottleneck before buying the next shiny upgrade.

What each gadget fixes—and what it does not

GadgetUse it forDo not expect it to fix
Scratch BotRemoving repeated manual scratching after a ticket reaches the bot.Moving tickets, keeping them in place, claiming results, or funding more purchases.
Fan + Sticky MatMoving tickets toward automation while controlling unwanted movement.A weak cash loop or a dangerous ticket choice.

Scratch Bot, Fan, and Sticky Mat as one route

These three tools are easier to understand as a pipeline than as separate purchases. Scratch Bot removes the scratch action, Fan moves cards toward that action, and Sticky Mat keeps the movement controllable. Buying more speed before the pipeline is stable can automate a bad ticket choice or create more handling work.

  1. Start with Scratch Bot when repeated hand scratching is the clear bottleneck and the chosen ticket is safe enough to repeat.
  2. Add Fan only when the bot waits for cards to reach it. Fan solves movement; it does not scratch, claim, or buy.
  3. Add Sticky Mat when faster movement makes cards drift or the table harder to control. It is a stability tool, not a direct money multiplier.

Debug an automation setup in this order

  1. Confirm the chosen ticket is affordable enough to repeat without draining the run.
  2. Watch whether the ticket reaches Scratch Bot; if not, solve movement before buying more speed.
  3. Check whether tickets move past the intended position; add stability only when that behavior is visible.
  4. Separate scratching from claiming and purchasing—those are different bottlenecks.
  5. Increase tempo only after the complete loop works reliably at normal speed.
