If you’re not up to date, Luck Be a Landlord is a game where you have to spin a customizable slot machine to win enough coins to pay your rent. The rent increases each time, but you can add symbols to the slot as well as passive items to augment the amount you can collect on each spin.

While it has a very basic aesthetic, players and critics alike praised the surprising depth that can be found in the various combinations of symbols and items that can be obtained. Finding these synergies and earning substantial payouts is a major part of the draw.

Even though the game revolves around a slot machine and contains elements of luck, it does not contain microtransactions or ways to wager real money.

This is one of the main inspirations behind the beloved Balatro, which wasn’t intended to be a single-player roguelike until developer LocalThunk discovered Luck Be a Landlord.

We were curious to try this game out, so we’re excited to see it coming to consoles soon.
