The '''Money Printer''' is a property machine that earns its owner passive [[Gold]] by paying out a share of the [[Casino]]'s losses. Every property owner can buy and place one inside their property, switch it on, and collect the accumulated Gold whenever they like — including while offline.

The higher your property tier, the larger your cut of the casino's losses.
<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">The house doesn't always win:</span> The Money Printer redirects a share of the [[Casino]]'s losses to property owners. When players lose Gold at the casino, active Money Printers earn a cut based on the owner's property tier.</div>

== How it works ==
# Own a property (any [[Housing]] tier).
# While standing '''inside''' your property, a pop-up option appears to '''buy and activate''' a Money Printer for '''1,000 [[Gold]]'''.
# Activation is '''one-time''' — once switched on, it runs permanently with no fuel cost or upkeep.
# The printer '''accumulates Gold passively''' over time, including while you are offline and off adventuring.
# '''Claim your Gold at will''' — collect the accumulated payout from the printer whenever you choose.

== Property tiers and keys ==
Your cut of the casino's losses scales with your property's key tier. Fancier properties earn a larger share.
{| class="wikitable"

== Tips ==
* The Money Printer pays for itself over time — a one-time 1,000 [[Gold]] cost with no upkeep means it is pure profit once it earns back its price.
* Higher property tiers earn a bigger cut, so a [[Mansion]] (Gold key) prints faster than a [[Trailer]] (Bronze key).
* Since it accumulates while offline, activate it and claim whenever you return — there is no penalty for leaving Gold in the printer.
* You can only run '''one printer per property''', so owning multiple properties means multiple printers.
