Luck’s odd. Strategy makes you a fortune.
We Are Solving the Problem of Gambling
Every year, millions walk into bars and arcades looking for fun, and leave emptied by machines designed to exploit. Slot machines, with their spinning lights and near-miss sounds, are engineered traps. They pull in over $640M a year, much of it from people who can’t afford to lose. And for those battling addiction, the suicide risk is 6× higher than average.
Luxodd was built to end this cycle. Our games eliminate randomness entirely. With Strategic Betting™, there are no reels and no exploitative house edge. Players wager on their skill: on timing, reflex, and strategy, not chance. We’re proving that arcades can still thrill without costing people their peace, dignity, or future.

We Are Solving The Problem of Gambling
Luxodd offers two powerful cabinet formats: Rook , our full-size, premium machine built for tournaments and high-traffic venues, and Pawn , a compact, plug-and-play version perfect for smaller spaces. Both support Strategic Betting™, credit card payments, and all our sweet features.
A Skill-Based Betting System — Not a Slot Machine in Disguise
Strategic Betting™ is Luxodd's proprietary, patent-pending technology that turns gameplay into meaningful, skill-based wagers. It's not gambling — it's a regulatory-compliant feature that allows players to opt into real skill challenges and low, fixed-stake bets on their ability to complete them. Win the challenge, win the reward. Miss the mark, and your stake goes into a growing prize pool for the next competitor.

Hey everyone, I'm Max, a software architect by day and arcade enthusiast by night (and weekends!). This whole Luxodd Games adventure started with a simple observation: my local pub needed a fun, engaging arcade experience, and VLTs just weren't cutting it. I'm passionate about arcades – always have been – but I'm not a fan of the mindless button-mashing of traditional gambling machines. They might be profitable, but they're not exactly enriching anyone's life. So, I decided to do something about it.
I poured my heart (and a chunk of my savings!) into creating a new kind of arcade that combines strategy, skill, and a lot of fun. I'm building engaging and rewarding games where players can actually test their abilities and earn bragging rights (and maybe some in-game cash too!). Think of it as a modern twist on classic arcade gaming, with a focus on skill-based betting.
My dream? To bring a fresh, positive vibe to the arcade scene and create games that people genuinely enjoy. I'm my own toughest critic (and first customer!), so if I love it, I'm hoping you will too. We're starting small, but we've got big plans to change the way people think about arcades. So, if you're looking for a gaming experience that's a little bit different, a little bit smarter, and a whole lot more fun, you've come to the right place. Feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear what you think!
