New games like Balatro
Balatro made a simple loop famous: play a hand, score it, multiply it, and build an engine of bonuses that has to beat a rising target. The games below are new browser games that use the same kind of loop, each with its own twist on what you score and how the multipliers stack. Right now there are 7 on the list, newest released October 26, 2026.
- 1
Pawnbroke (Demo)
Every item on your shelf pays out at closing time and the eight items around it change what it pays, so the game is about building a combo engine that beats a rising debt every five days.
- 2
Lucky Ball
Round score is Points × Mult, you grow the multiplier with synergies between ball families, and every few rounds a rising payment has to be met, the same pressure loop as Balatro's blinds.
- 3
PLINKDOWN
Like Balatro, every round has a quota to beat with limited drops, multipliers stack across a whole drop, and between rounds you buy orbs and charms to build an engine.
- 4
Cut Me In
Each haul has a score target; coins times gems, halved per skull, and talismans bought in port change how your cuts score.
- 5
Mars or Bust
Matching sectors form hands, profit is multiplied at the closing bell, numbers climb into the trillions and a month-end boss breaks one rule, all straight from the Balatro playbook.
- 6
RindTown (Demo)
Ingredients add Chips and machines multiply them, five cards per glass, special guests change the rules: the closest match to Balatro's scoring on this list.
- 7
Money Wheel
Six spins to hit each round's quota, upgrades that add multipliers, chain spins and jackpots, and a Heat meter that punishes winning too big.
