A Gambling Roguelike About a Dolphin Hacker Rigging Underwater Keno Machines for Impossible Money

Hack the odds, dodge the Securitee Manatees, and push your winnings into scientific notation.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - March 30, 2026 - LCB Game Studio today announced Dolphin Keno, a number-goes-up gambling roguelike about hacking the operating systems of underwater keno machines to make impossible money.
 
In Dolphin Keno, you play as a dolphin hacker who owes the Orcfather an absurd amount of cash. The only place that kind of money exists is at the bottom of the sea, inside the abyssal casinos.
 
At first, it starts simply: pick your numbers, place your bets, and hope for a decent hit. But soon you’ll be cracking open machine operating systems, installing illegal effects, twisting probabilities, and stacking outrageous payout modifiers until your winnings spiral into scientific notation.
 
The deeper you go, the riskier it gets. More powerful keno machines offer higher max bets, bigger jackpots, and much harsher security. Every time you tamper with a machine, suspicion rises. If you want to keep cheating, you’ll need disguises, props, and enough nerve to stay one step ahead of casino surveillance and the Securitee Manatees.
 
Dolphin Keno is a roguelike about chasing absurd wealth, building broken combinations, and seeing just how far you can push a machine before the house realizes what you’ve done.
