Carnival Tycoon: The $5M/Month “Idle Game” Social Casino Trojan Horse
Idle game making $5 MIL/month! 💸Well, not exactly an idle game. Carnival Tycoon: The Social Casino Trojan Horse Copying Its Way to the Top 👇
In our latest episode, we break down Carnival Tycoon, the game that starts as a cute idle builder and morphs into a full social casino: spin by spin, upgrade by upgrade.
Here’s the truth:
Every mechanic, from slot spins to collectible cards, is ripped straight from Coin Master and Monopoly Go
5 million a month in revenue, top five by size, but nowhere near the stingy, genius LiveOps of the market leaders
The creatives? Gross, shit, all the trends, flip the numbers, “borrow” the hooks, call it AI if you must. It’s all there!
Store visuals? Only idle, top UA creatives, no social casino at all.
Idle features hook the casuals, but the real money comes from the casino endgame and slot machine churn
Carnival Tycoon is the definition of Trojan Horse onboarding: start light, end heavy, and always copy what works..
