Gambling Rogue-likes were a big part of 2024. From Balatro to Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers, lots of us were enjoying a familiar twist on classic gambling games. Now, one of my favorite gambling Rogue-likes is reaching a wider audience.

That’s right, Luck Be a Landlord is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox consoles on February 6th, 2025. This will add to the over 500,000 PC players along with 100,000 concurrent mobile players, hopefully launching the game to even further success. Here is what the press release says about Luck Be a Landlord.

“Begin as an optimistic renter with low payments, and watch in horror as they creep higher and higher! Add symbols to the slot machine after each spin to collect coins, accruing funds ahead of the next due date. Rejoice at a high-yield turn, but beware: luck can easily run out, resulting in empty pockets and untimely eviction.

Synergize slot symbols and special items to create lucrative chain reactions. Choose between furry friends, precious gems, and other unlikely symbols. Transform eggs into chickens, sprout seeds into fruit, watch toddlers devour delicious candy, and avoid the catastrophic loss of the Hex of Destruction!

Increase earnings with myriad powerful items: stockpile extra coins with the Swear Jar, smash urns with the Grave Robber, and try to score rare symbols with the X-Ray Machine. Luck doesn’t have to be tenants’ only ally: get a little help from Commie McComrade’s game-changing boosts, allowing the rerolling of choices and the removal of symbols.

Make 12 payments to game the capitalist system of property ownership and defeat the dreaded landlord! However, rent payment never really ends, does it? Ascend additional floors, each with mounting difficulty after defeating the landlord. Battle increasing rent, dwindling skips, and the crushing demands of capitalism to reach the top floor and come face to face with a secret boss.”

Dan Dilorio, lead developer and founder of TrampolineTales, commented on this announcement, stating: “We feel like we really hit the jackpot thanks to everyone’s support of Luck be a Landlord on PC and mobile, so it’s finally time to bring the terrors of tenancy to consoles! We welcome console players to take a spin on the slot machine and defeat Landy McLandlord and the ruthless capitalist system once and for all!”

I love Luck Be a Landlord for its easy “pick up and play” vibe. I’ve spent countless hours just making synergies and playing run after run. The only problem I see is that the console versions won’t have access to the mod support that the PC version has, though there’s enough of a solid game without mods that it is worth the price tag anyway. Keep an eye out for Luck Be a Landlord when February 6th rolls around.
