How to Use Roulette Rush
A step-by-step guide to picking random names with marble racing. Works for giveaways, classrooms, events, and more.
Step 1: Enter Names
Type or paste names into the text area on the left panel (or bottom panel on mobile). Separate each name with a comma or a new line.
Bob*2
Charlie
Diana
Use the name*count syntax to add multiple entries. For example, Alice*3 creates 3 marbles for Alice, giving her a higher chance of winning. This is perfect for weighted giveaway picks where subscribers or VIPs get extra entries.
Step 2: Choose a Map
Select one of 6 available maps. Each map follows a dramatic 4-act structure with unique obstacles:
- Wheel of Fortune, BubblePop, Night Run
- Plinko Neon, Pinball Arena, Galaxy Spin
Try different maps for varied experiences — some are faster, others more chaotic!
Step 3: Start the Race
Click the "Start Race" button to begin. Marbles will drop from the top and race through the course. The camera automatically follows the leading marble so you never miss the action.
Step 4: Watch & Get Results
Watch the marbles bounce, collide, and race to the finish line. Use the speed controls (1x, 2x, 3x) to speed up or slow down. The first marble to cross the red finish line wins! Full rankings are displayed in the sidebar when the race ends.
