Luck be a Landlord is a roguelike deckbuilder about using a slot machine to earn rent money and defeat capitalism. This game does not contain any real-world currency gambling or microtransactions.
Features
- Roguelite gameplay - The symbols you can add to the slot machine are different every time!
- Lots of Symbols to add to your slot machine - Each symbol has different effects and interactions.
- Plenty of Items to choose from - The items are different every time as well, leading to interesting build strategies.

Luck be a Landlord now has Screen Reader support! If the Screen Reader setting is enabled (under the Gameplay Settings or by holding the F3 key, 3 key, or L1 on a controller for 5 seconds), the game will output highlighted text to the operating system's clipboard. One can then use a screen reader program to read out the text from the clipboard. Using a Keyboard or Controller instead of a Mouse is ideal when using this mode.
A Steam Key is provided with every purchase!

This game is just as addicting as Balatro, I found out about this thanks to someone providing a copy for a blind gamer's marathon stream this weekend. I have only one question, is this accessible with Voiceover on iOS? I would love to grab this and further support this amazing work if so.
So sad, the game just crashed when I was about to kill myself by the Guillotine. It seems like it happened because of another item's effect, which causes essences to affect twice before being destroyed.

Beautiful game, now I can gamble legally every night
wonder what engine is used to develop this game, is it godot?
damn i played this game so much, i have full version and have like 13 level, i got the fastest speed in settings and i just speedrun the game, and like gameover in every 3 minutes but that dont stop me, poggers game, and cats and cats upgrades and esence upgrades are op
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to mention this but I was watching IllegallySighted playing with the new screenreader support and I noticed that negative and ? coins weren't reading properly
You can hear it happen at 20:35 here
I'll look into a solution for that, thanks for letting me know!
This has been fixed in v1.2.19, sorry for the wait.
love this game and only just learned there's an android port! frustrated its only on Google Play though since i hate buying things there and id much rather give you more money thru here. any plans to include the android version on itch?
I have just bought this game and it's not working for me with a screenreader. i tried all the things it said to do to get it to run, but I either don't have some sort of plugin, or the game is borked. Please Haaalp!
Are you using NVDA with the Autoclip plugin? https://nvda-addons.org/addon.php?id=314
Ack! That's me, Thanks for posting this here. Now off to go play this cool game. Apparently, Northern lions did a let's play on youtube, and everyone says it's awesome!
since the game is already DRM-free, many people including me are very looking forward to a GOG release. Please <3
can your game the evidence room be played with keyboard?
no, it's mouse only
if i buy this on ios, do i also need to buy on pc or vice versa?
Will you distribute the APK here?
I'm trying to get away from google completely.
I noticed that I unlocked an achievement within the game, but I couldn't find any kind of overview page afterwards. It would be really fun to have the same achievements as on Steam natively within the game.
screen reader does not work in demo.
are/will your other games have screenreader support?
Most of my older games used engines that aren't screen reader friendly, unfortunately. My future games will definitely have screen reader support if possible!
One of my free game jam games (The Evidence Room) is made in HTML, so a screen reader may already work there if you'd like to give it a try: https://trampolinetales.itch.io/the-evidence-room
hi. thanks for making this accessible Will the ios version also have accessibility? Also, on steam, it shows storage requirements of 125 mb, but here, its 90 mb. is the version here not updated>
Glad I could!
The iOS version will unfortunately not have screen reader support as, to my knowledge, screen readers can't access the clipboard on iOS.
The itch version is always updated at the same time as the Steam version. The file size is different since the itch version uses a ZIP file while the Steam version does not.
ok, thanks alot! you're right, no clipboard support on ios.
Really really love this game it's inspired me to make my own similar game in a fantasy setting with element of slay the spire thrown in. https://gdogames.itch.io/taxingtiles

Would you consider adding custom thumbnail art to the DRM free version? GOG adds the game's thumbnail automatically, but steam doesn't when you add it as a non-steam game.
Is there a way to see the achievement list in game?
Please add to geforcenow or mobile, really want to play it
they don't get to decide what games go on geforce now
Yes they do, don't spread false information
they cant say "put the game on instantly" its stuff that is added every thursday so the developers can basically only say yes the game can go on that doesn't mean the nvidia will add it
If you don't know how it works, stop commenting. Just looking for an argument for no reason. They apply via a link on geforce and it gets added to a pile of games that they pick between. It can only add to sales, especially when a game is easy to add to the service without much effort. Dev please ignore this person if you are considering putting on geforcenow
so basically they don't decide what games go on geforce now
Better yet, Patreon a campaign for mobile. This game'd be perfect on my phone! Soooooo gooooood!
It is now available on mobile
I did buy it early on and didn't receive a key, can you verify that I bought it to get it the steam key too ? That would be easier for the workshop.
Same here, I never received a steam key. Wondering if there's a way to get it retroactively.
I did it! I became the lord of fruits and got guillotined! Those payments increased to 20k but was no match for my 500K monkeys!
did i winned
Wow you rolled 3 very rare in a row!
Doesn't work on Mac :(
does it require 64 bit? if yes, is it possible to make it 32 bit compatible?
love your game :D
So can you get the modtool without buying the Steam version?
Mods can be created without the Steam version. You just can't upload mods to the Steam Workshop on the non-Steam version.
Is this version also updated when the steam one gets an update?
Yes!
Buying from here is it possible to get a copy that doesn't require steam?
This is the one, you'll get a key for Steam redemption but also get the DRM free version.
Is there a way to download the for linux if I bought the game from steam?
I was not convinced by the pitch… but I stayed stuck on for more than 2 hours. Nice nice nice
Is it possible to get a Steam key if you got this in a bundle like the one for Palestine?
anyone ever find out the answer to this lmao i would love to know
You have to either win a game on Floor 6 or win 7 games since the essence update. There's also a way you can edit your savefile to unlock it instantly. Instructions are here https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1404850/view/5510701238793103299
Well I am working on my seven
I am making a demake of this cool game, what do you think?
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=43628
That's really nice work.
This is really cool!
amazing game. the consistent updates are awesome!
The most recent update made the game crash without launch for me. I last played with the previous patch.
I love this. Very excited to see what gets added next <3
The only addition I'd love is a way to see what objects are worth where they're at in the board. Like if the Silver Arrow points at an object, show it's 9 coins this round, but in parantheses that it's normally 3. Sometimes when the coin amounts happen so fast it's hard to keep track of what increased what, and it would help me figure out why things are getting me so many coins!
That or even a label that has "effected by" then a list of symbols you currently have.
I would write something, but I can't stop playing this game long enough to do so...the highlight of the recent bundle for me!
Alright, I admit I didnt expect a simple slot machine game quite so intriguing, but ... it is. You need to gamble to pay your rent of the game is over. During your sessions playing the roulette machine, you gradually unlock more items that will allow you to gain higher payouts and by combining the right items at the right time, you can turn your game time into a veritable money machine. Its fun, addicting, quick to play and offers enough depth to optimize your runs that every decision feels genuinely interesting and worth pondering. Deceiving looks, great game. 4/5

Really Amazing Game!!! The music is really awesome!
Great stuff. For Slay the Spire fans, it's almost like just a constant balancing of relics.
Points of improvement for the full release:
