A Massive Balatro Exploit Has Been Hiding In The Game All Along, Dev Confirms
The poker roguelite Balatro has built a strong and loyal community of players thanks to the many different ways the game can surprise you during a run. Today--two weeks before the game launches on mobile devices--developer LocalThunk has seemingly confirmed a feature that looks like a glitch, but is instead working as intended.
This exploit, which was brought to light in a YouTube video by BelenosBear, involves the Misprint joker card, and more specifically, it centers around the seemingly random text that flashes in the Misprint’s ability text.

As it turns out, those sequences aren't random, and they actually tell you the top card of your deck through the numbers and letters that appear; in BelenosBear’s video, for example, a sequence that ends in “4S” produces the four of spades on the next draw, while “9H” produces the nine of hearts.
