The Money Printer is a property machine that earns its owner passive Gold by taking a share of the gold players lose at the Casino. 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 bigger your property tier, the larger your share of the payout pool.
The house doesn't always win: Whenever a player loses gold at the Casino, 30% of the lost gold is split among every active Money Printer across Kintara, weighted by property tier.
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 earns a live share of casino losses and accumulates Gold passively, including while you are offline.
- Claim your Gold at will. You claim whole Gold; fractional earnings stay in the printer and keep adding up.
The payout pool
Money Printer income comes from a shared pool, not a fixed rate:
- Whenever any player loses Gold at the Casino, 30% of that lost Gold goes into the printer pool.
- That 30% is split among every active printer in the game, weighted by property tier.
- Only active (switched-on) printers earn a share.
- Because the pool is shared, your actual earnings depend on how many printers are active and their tiers — more active printers means a thinner slice each.
Tier weights
Your share of the pool scales with your property's key tier:
| Key tier | Properties | Revenue weight |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze Key | Trailer, Flat | ×1 (1 share) |
| Silver Key | House, Apartment | ×2 (2 shares) |
| Gold Key | Mansion, Penthouse | ×4 (4 shares) |
A Gold-key property earns four times the share of a Bronze-key property, and Silver earns twice Bronze, from the same shared pool.
Selling a property with a printer
The Money Printer is bound to the property it is placed in. If you sell the property:
- The new owner inherits the printer and any unclaimed Gold still inside it.
- Always claim your earnings before selling — unclaimed Gold transfers with the property.

Tips
- The 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 tiers earn far more: a Mansion or Penthouse (Gold, ×4) prints four times faster than a Trailer or Flat (Bronze, ×1).
- Keep your printer switched on — only active printers earn a share of the pool.
- Claim before selling. Unclaimed Gold transfers to the buyer along with the property.
- Earnings scale with casino activity — busier casino nights mean a bigger pool to split.
