Detailed Gameplay Breakdown

In Buckshot Roulette, the game begins by assigning a “dealer” who controls the shotgun and manages the shells, while others step into the role of “gamblers,” waiting for their turn at fate. The dealer starts with 666 coins to purchase the shotgun, while ammo comes free of charge, setting up a high-risk arena of chance.

Two gamblers sit at the table, with one chosen as the “wagerer,” who places bets to either defend their title or shift the danger to the other player.

• The wagerer can stake one to three “drops” to improve the odds of eliminating the non-wagerer.

• If the non-wagerer survives, the title passes to them, forcing them to raise the stakes.

• A misfire eliminates the non-wagerer, resetting the betting cycle for the next round.

• The wagerer must match their previous bet before passing the title if their opponent makes it through alive.

Simple But Intense Controls

Despite straightforward mechanics, the game replicates the weight of real shotgun actions — loading, aiming, firing, and moving — all while amplifying the psychological tension. Every decision and every pull of the trigger pushes the pressure higher, blurring the line between luck and survival.
