The game features a fun and colorful version of the classic Lotera game, which players can enjoy online. The gameplay is simple and intuitive, with players using their mouse or touch screen to select and mark off the different cards on their game board.

Loteria has been played as a game of chance, as a pastime, and for educational purposes. Because the Loteria cards include the name of the pictured character, they are used to teach reading, writing, history, and social values. Many bilingual teachers use the game as a teaching tool in the United States.
