California — replace 4 of 5.

Our partner became primary printer in CA in December 2025. These 5 games cover the current top sellers. Partner already owns LOTERIA (#3) — the other 4 are competitor legacy titles that can be progressively replaced without contract friction. Plus: correct print anatomy (prominent price badge, oversized top-prize banner) — industry convention that lifts sell-through.

FRAMEWORK

How to remake without copying.

Scratch-off mechanics are commodity. Pollard, Sci Games, IGT share the same play structures. You cannot copy a mechanic. What you must avoid is the surface IP: names, taglines, color systems, specific symbol designs.

What is protected

  • Trademarked names — specific game brands.
  • Exact visual identity — palette, typography, distinctive symbol design.
  • Trade dress — combined look-and-feel if iconic.

What is fair game

  • Thand mechanic — key number match, multiplier, bingo, crossword. Commodity.
  • The math — odds, tiers, RTP. Not protectable in U.S. or Canada.
  • The price point — $1/$2/$3/$5/$10/$20/$30/$50 are standard SKUs.

The Kobow pattern

  • Keep thand mechanic. Don't teach a new game.
  • Change 3 of 4 sensorial layers: name + color + typography + symbol.
  • Tighten one math angle: better odds, hit-frequency, bonus path.
  • Anchor on a Kobow signature: champagne+cream + Cormorant italic + foil-stamped accents.

Kobow differentiation playbook

Theme angles
  • Swap metáfora numisrica por metáfora física: «Vault Multiplier», «Stack Climber» — multiplicador como ação narrada.
  • Mudar escala dos multipliers: 4X / 16X / 64X / 256X (geometric, not decimal).
  • Cor signature: 100X usa esquema vermelho/preto Sci Games. Kobow vai com champagne+jade.
Mechanic tweaks
  • 3 bonus zones (em vez de 1): Bonus 1 = instant cash · Bonus 2 = multiplier add-on · Bonus 3 = WIN-ALL trigger.
  • Inverter top tier: troca «single 100X tier» por double-bonus stacking — combina 10X+10X = 100X.
  • Trailing multipliers: eseach visual onde each cell empilha — mechanic WinFall com twist.
Art direction
  • NÃO usar: typography red-on-black setentista. USAR: paleta limpa + serif italic + accent metálico.
  • Substituir o "X" como proutegonista visual por symbol Kobow — engrenagem, raio estilizado, ou monogram K.
  • Layout: CA usa 3 colunas verticais. Kobow usa bloco quadrado + bonus rail.
Legal / copy risk

Multiplier scratchers are commodity mechanic — not protegível. Não protegível: regra "match symbol → multiply". Protegível: marca «100X», typography exata. Risco: muito baixo.

Kobow differentiation playbook

Theme angles
  • Pivot esporte por state: CA = soccer, TX = football, FL = baseball.
  • «Penalty Shootout»: variant with a final mini-game.
  • Tie-in Liga MX / Copa America: edições limitadas torneio.
Mechanic tweaks
  • Swap WHISTLE / FLAG / TROPHY por YELLOW CARD (1×), RED CARD (3×), GOLDEN BOOT (10×).
  • Combo: 2 FLAGs no mesmo ticket = multiplier dobra.
  • Substituir TROPHY (WIN-ALL) por HAT-TRICK — 3 mesmos symbols = WIN-ALL.
Art direction
  • Sci Games GOOOAAAL usa green field + red/yellow brilhante. Kobow: «vintage 70s soccer poster» — cream/navy/orange burnt + lithografia retrô.
  • Displaced typography in official FIFA / Liga MX merchandising style.
  • Foil-stamp na bola, micro-stadium pattern no scratch-off.
