Chili roulette involves eating chili or other spicy foods with one being much hotter than the others. Egg roulette involves cracking eggs on your head with one being raw. Travel roulette offered travelers at an airport a chance to be sent to a random destination with expenses paid if they gave up their current flight. Tattoo roulette used a game to randomly select unusual or disliked tattoo designs and locations on players' bodies. Taser roulette involves playing Russian roulette with a special gun that fires non-lethal electric shocks from a taser.

2. ChiliRoulette
Of all the Russian roulettes, chili roulette is most likely to be the one you
might have played yourself – in most incarnations it’s pretty harmless, so
you may have even come across a novelty chocolate board game one
Christmas that you’ve played with the family.
There are plenty of ways to play it – whether that be through the
medium of chocolate, chili sauce, chili alcoholic shots or even just raw
chilis – and of course the aim of the game is to avoid burning your mouth
on the super spicy pick of the bunch.

3. EGGROULETTE
You might have spotted the game of Egg Roulette before,
especially if you’re a fan of US chat show The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon, as its eponymous host plays this
with many of his celebrity guests.
It works a little like this – one box of eggs, five hard boiled,
one raw, two players who take it turn to crack one on their
head, one player who ends up with egg whites dripping
down their face.
However, it’s not just a favourite game of the Hollywood A-
list– in fact, if you wanted to take part in the Russian Egg
Roulette World Championships, you’d have to travel to the
sleepy English village of Swaton, Lincolnshire.

4. didyouknow?
The first use of Russian roulette in the English language was in 1937 by writer Georges
Surdez, but in George’s story the gun used by Russian army officers had five bullets in the
barrel and just one empty round.
However, novelist Graham Greene is also claimed by many sources to have told of hearing
of Russian roulette that predates this – the traditional one bullet version – played
between Tsarist Russian officers to stave off boredom.

5. TRAVELROULETTE

6. tHISONE’SCERTAINLYAFLYER!A few years back, beer brand Heineken set up base at JFK airport, offering travellers an
opportunity of a lifetime. If they were ready to leave right there and now, they could play
a game of Travel Roulette and be whisked away to a random destination.
While they got a handy $2,000 in spending money and their flights and accommodation
paid for, you’ve got to keep in mind that all the people being asked were already on their
way somewhere. No wonder most of them declined, because of having to be adults and all,
but a risky few really did cash in their flights on a complete chance.

7. TATTOOROULETTE
We’re all for people doing what they want with their bodies –
but with something as permanent as a tattoo, we, for some,
would take a good long hard think about what we wanted
before getting inked.
This example of tattoo roulette actually used a plinko board
(like a coin drop machine, this board was made famous by the
Price Is Right gameshow) to decide on what a player would have
tattooed, and where.
That might not sound too bad – if the options on offer weren’t a
tattoo of Donald Trump’s hair as a tramp stamp, the most hated
Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks on your forearm or ‘True
Detective Season 2’ on your buttocks.

8. TASERROULETTE
A former mixed martial artist by the name of Valery
Eschenko is the man behind the game, having developed a
special seven-barrelled gun, which then has a taser
cartridge loaded into one of the chambers.
Twice a month, men like to meet up in a basement to play
this form of Russian roulette at the cost of 200 roubles
each, like a more high tech Fight Club. There’s been a long
battle between doctors and the company that produces
Taser as to whether these devices can trigger seizures and
heart failures, which could lead to fatalities.
