The Luck stat in GTA San Andreas does absolutely nothing — and Rockstar might have left it in on purpose as a joke.

In GTA San Andreas, the 'Luck' statistic can be raised to 1000 by collecting 50 horseshoes around Las Venturas, yet code inspection reveals it has zero effect on casino odds, gambling, missions, or any gameplay element. The most popular theory is that Rockstar intentionally left this useless stat as subtle commentary that 'luck doesn't actually exist.'
