About This Game

One penny slot. Twenty bucks. A whole table to fill.

Hot Machine is an incremental game played on a felt casino table. Buy slot machines, drop them onto the table and pull their levers. They hop, slide and knock into each other, spilling coins across the felt. Keep clicking to build a combo, or let your staff do it for you.

Every pull is a bet

Spins cost money, and a cold streak can drain you fast. Upgrade paytables, buy a High Stakes License and turn the dial from ×1 to ×100. Bigger stakes grow you faster and ruin you faster.

Hire the Regulars

Six kinds of helpers walk your table: the Regular, the penny-shark Grandma, the Whale who only plays your best machines, the Card Counter, the Pickpocket who sweeps up loose coins, and Hotty the mascot. They pull levers, take coffee breaks, scroll their phones and nap on the job. Click a slacker to send them back to work.

Rent is due

Every few minutes the rent comes around. Miss it and the Loan Shark buys your tab. Cold streaks, power outages, tax audits and thieves keep things interesting, while Happy Hours, Golden Hours and High Rollers can turn a bad night around.

Go bankrupt. Come back stronger.

When you hit rock bottom, declare bankruptcy for Ruin Chips and spend them on the Rock Bottom Tree: 69 permanent upgrades across four branches, with endless nodes at the tips. Every run starts faster and reaches further.

Numbers go stupid

Twelve machine tiers take you from a $1 Penny Slot to The Omniverse. There's no cap on paytable levels, 183 achievements that permanently boost your payouts, and a table that never stops growing.
