Nine-Ball Roulette Billiards with a bullet in the chamber

Is Nine-Ball Roulette worth it?

Nine-Ball Roulette is worth it if…

  • you want a pool game that plays like real billiards, no aim assist
  • you like short competitive sessions with friends where anyone can win
  • you enjoy voice chat, trash talk and throwing chalk at the table
  • you want a party game with a bit of dark tension mixed in

Pool that plays like the real thing

Underneath the revolvers, this is a serious billiards game. There are no aiming lines or shot predictions: you judge angles and power the way you would at a real table, using the mouse to control the cue. Spin, jump shots and massé are all there, and the balls crack against each other with a satisfying sound before dropping into a pocket. If you just want to practice, there is a solo practice mode, and matchmaking is quick, so a game is running moments after you open it.

Lose a frame, pull the trigger

Lose a frame and you put it to your head and pull the trigger, with a one-in-six chance the chamber is loaded. Survive, and the odds get worse with every further loss, so sooner or later luck runs out. The tension is real: either clear the table in one shot, or listen to your heartbeat. And if you survive, you get to watch your friends take their turn.

Can you play it solo?

Can you play it solo?

Yes. There is a practice mode where you can play pool on your own without the roulette, so you can work on your shots before taking on friends or strangers online. The full elimination game is built for two to four players, though, so the revolver part is where other people come in.

How does the roulette part actually work?

Each player has their own six-shot revolver rather than sharing one gun. Every additional loss adds another bullet to the odds, so surviving several frames in a row gets increasingly unlikely. Skill decides most of the pool, but the gun decides when you stop playing.

Is it only 9-ball?

No. The headline mode is nine-ball roulette, but you can also play 8-ball, and there are modes that change how many balls you need to sink before the roulette phase starts. More balls means a longer game before anyone touches a revolver, so you can tune how much pool and how much roulette each match has.
