The wait is over – the devil’s slot machine opens for business this September.
Indie developer Panik Arcade and publisher Future Friends Games have confirmed that their viral roguelike CloverPit will launch on September 3rd, 2025, for PC via Steam. This announcement comes after a surge of online buzz that saw the game rack up 420,000+ wishlists, 700,000 demo downloads, and a spot in Steam’s Top 100 most-wishlisted games.
In the new release date trailer, CloverPit is shown in all its grimy, anxiety-inducing glory — a “demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette” that traps players in a claustrophobic room with a single slot machine, an ATM, and a rapidly growing debt.
A Hell of Your Own Making
In CloverPit, every round is a battle against both the game and yourself. You must manipulate the slot machine to generate coins, triggering big combos with collected charms and prizes. At the end of each round, your debt must be paid — fail, and you’ll be consumed by ruin.
Players will bend rules, exploit synergies, and hunt for game-breaking strategies to survive. With over 150 items to discover, meta-progression elements, multiple endings, and a sinister escape room vibe, CloverPit delivers a blend of luck, planning, and pure tension.
The developers are quick to clarify: CloverPit is not a slot machine simulator. Instead, it’s a satire on gambling addiction — the machine is meant to be beaten, broken, and outwitted.
