Buckshot Roulette: Double or Nothing 

Jack: Takes 8 tries to beat normal mode once Mark: Casually beats normal and 3 hard modes in a single run

ngl, out of all horror game villains, Dealer is actually a fair player. it earns my respect.

I love how the Dealer keeps making misplays even when odds are telling him to do the other. He's not a tryhard trying to win and that's that - he's a gambler just like you are and loves rolling a good dice, even if he ends up shooting himself in the face. It makes him very endearing in a weird way.

I swear to God, Mark literally has plot armour in this game. The man just CANNOT lose no matter what he does.

Easter eggs for the names are “God” can’t play them since they’ve played and lost. “Dealer” can’t be them since they’re already playing.

14:40 "This guy is bold. He's bold. He's not smart, but he's certainly bold." This is pretty much the best way to describe the dealer lmao

this would be sick as a vr game. imagine physically smashing the magnifying glass or sawing the barrel

“I like these odds!” *shoots himself in the face*

22:16 "I'm not going to go out pointin' that at myself. If I die, it'll be because I pointed it at _him_ ." This is the official coldest line of 2024.

21:48 The "Oh Frick!" as the last blank is fired and all that is left is live rounds, followed by the dealer shooting themselves when they should know there are no blanks left, kills me.

21:56 "okay maybe not that dumb" **The Dealer then proceeded to do something others could only call dumb**

22:09 "I ain't gonna go out pointing that at myself. If I lose here, it's because I pointed it at him." On god this is such a fucking banger line 🔥 Truly tho Mark fucking KILLED this game

22:19 "if I lose here, it's because I pointed it at HIM", oddly a very good quote

23:20 this guy is bold as hell doing it FOUR TIMES IN A ROW

Mark’s insane luck of the Dealer shooting himself like 5 times while Jack was playing with a Chess AI

21:50 "Well that's okay, he's really dumb-" Dealer: *_*picks up the shotgun*_* "....He might not be that dumb" Dealer: _"You correctly estimated my stupidity"_

Mark: "I like these od-" -BANG- 18:35

this shit had me dying LMAO. " Its okay hes really dumb everybody keep this in mind hes very dumb" the dealer shoots himself at 21:43

Love seeing the differences between Mark, whos making the Dealer have to take big risks to keep up, and other playthroughs where the Dealer's priority is stacking the odds in its favor and not taking risks

20:30 The moment of realization after working the odds (plus his reaction) is perfect.

6:36 “it’s really just a roll of the dice and how hefty your sack is in this particular day… my sack’s real hefty” Markiplier 2024

I love how Mark played with statistics and the coin toss mentality the dealer had. Makes Mark seem a long step ahead of anyone I've seen play this game

Both times he’s played this game, I misread it as “backshot roulette”

i just love to hear Mark saying "TaKe oNe oF ThEEsE"

Mark: "Trust me, this is the right strategy..." Also Mark: *Takes a smoke and proceeds to shoot self in the head a second time*

I love the detail of the YES button for the double or nothing being significantly more smudged and worn. The NO button looks so clean and new in comparison. Edit: 8:15 for those who don’t understand what I’m talking about 👍

26:08 "well that didn't go according to plan, but that's ok, because plans were always made to fail" Truest statement I've ever heard

"Thank God you have a defibrillator for my face" made me actually laugh out loud, so, thank you.

18:36 the flash on Marks face cam is too good though

The reason the dealers actions can seem somewhat stupid at times is because the deciding factor in whether he shoots you or himself is a simply coin flip so 50/50

21:58 Mark: "He might not be that dumn" *Aims shotgun to himself* Mark: 🤨

everytime i think "ok this is the best move" mark chooses to do the stupider option, AND STILL SUCCEEDS why do i even try to be good at this game

26:59 - "𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼..." - Markiplier, while playing Russian roulette after consuming some random pills found in a nightclub bathroom 😂

The music paired with the falling of the shotgun shells is peak content.

22:30 *excited mark noises*

I have to say the sounds in this game are so satisfying. The clicking, glass breaking, the cans, idk why they just sound 👍

Why is Mark like, god tier good at this game for zero reason?

How is Mark like the best guy at this game? Like, it's kind of crazy. He hasn't lost yet. He's gotten close, but he hasn't lost ONCE yet.

*Plays hard mode for the first time* *Instantly become a hard mode god* This is Markiplier, this is Markiplier

Love how he adds so much humor and comedy in a game meant to give you thrills (and maybe scare you)

I love to see people playing this game while actually taking statistics into account. I see people struggle with this game all the time, but mark is super impressive.

6:41 Mark hand movement and the cig choice seems like he is fully immersed for a second.

8:50 "cause i knew that was gonna happen..well i didn't know that's gonna happen but i had a good feeling bout that's gonna happen and that's the same as knowing" That is actually smart

It's amazing how the game technically rewards him for playing cleverly and gave him chances to avoid a straight game over though. Very well-played.

9:03 The light flash on Marks face made me laugh so hard.

the dealer let's the player start every round even after shooting himself with a blank, which is more than fair, but he doesn't really seem to mind losing given how often he shoots himself.

Lol, just have to say it's disturbingly hilarious how casual mark sounds about pointing a (virtual) shotgun at his face. It got a chuckle from me

Mark beat the dealer three times while Jack can barely beat him on the second round 😂😂😂

I love the music in this game, even if it's repetitive and simple, the way its used is perfect, kicking up after a shot, speeding up after double or nothing, slowing down after a dealer death, with the second death making it go mute for a few moments, and with a slightly different track for each round. It works very well with the sound effects

It’s kinda cool how the concept of the game helps explain the way the AI acts, they push their luck too much sometimes and it bites their ass. Like a gambling addict

it would sound cool if canonically, you were the devil and you’re avenging God since the dealer purposefully put that contract of God in your item box

22:24 Another good ad spot

The fact that the "Yes" button has been pressed by everyone because it has marks on it and the "No" button is clean is a very good and horrifying detail.

"try me!" "BANG!" impeccable

26:04 IDK why but when i set playback speed to 2X it goes by so fast and it is HILARIOUS

Imagine when you're constantly winning at this game, and guy comes and kicks you out for bullet counting😂

18:34 "i like these odds" *blasts himself*

15:20 the utter confusion and disbelief after he miscounted and messed up is priceless

Mark's gambling with strong guess of possibilities, and honestly i like this game as you need to figure out every possibilities that may will occur, and you have to either take one of those and bet it, or let it slide.

Dealer: "He can't keep getting away with this!"

23:40 "Yeah, keep it up buddy" Buddy is suicidal.

Haha the fact that he still wins even when he lost count a few times, Mark the king of buckshot roulette. Mark owns the dealer

5:27 "try me" dealer: you asked

Mark: That's a lot of blood Me and everyone else: Not as bloody as Iron Lung

"Hi! Welcome back to buckshot roulette, we're gonna take some pills!" - Mark Iplier 2:00

The dealer tosses a coin if he doesn't know what the round is, always knows what it is when it's the last round, and uses items as soon as reasonable. There's one glitch I know of, where if he sees a blank with a magnifying glass and chugs a beer to clear it, he still thinks it's a blank in the chamber so will invariably shoot himself.

24:40 better strategy is handcuffs and double damage the first shot. either way u hit him once or twice meaning the average value of 2 items is 1.5 lives with zero risk.

For anyone wondering why the Dealer is kind of dumb and often shoots itself, it's because it's not calculating probability like a human would. The way it functions is this: 1. Dealer will use items in the order it received them. Oldest items are used first at the earliest opportunity. For example, if it gets 2 handcuffs in a row, it will use one on the player, and then once they are uncuffed use it again. If it gets a couple of magnifying glasses in a row, it will use one, then because it already knows the current round it won't use the other one but will instead skip to the next available item (beer, cigarette, etc) and then use the other magnifying glass on the next turn. This is why you can see it do things like drink 3 beers in a row or use cigarettes multiple times in one turn, because those are valid moves and it wants to burn through items as soon as it can if it is able to use them 2. When using the magnifying glass, it doesn't actually reset what the AI thinks if it does something like drinking beer, so if it sees a blank then chugs a beer which changes it a live round, the AI still thinks it's a blank and will always shoot itself. If it sees a live round it will always shoot the player even if it changed to a blank because it believes it is still a live round. This is why it will also waste knives on blanks or proceed to shoot itself and do extra damage, particularly if it got a knife before a magnifying glass 3. The AI only actually knows what the _last_ round in the shotgun is. If it sees the current round via the magnifying glass it will act accordingly, but the only one it knows for certain is the last round when you reach it. If it doesn't know the round (no magnifying glass and it's not the last round) it will basically do a coin flip on whether to shoot the player or itself. This implies that while the player can see how many of each round there is at the beginning, the AI cannot and thus doesn't know if all the live or blank rounds have been used/ejected and instead runs on the assumption that there is always both still available

"If I go out.. it's because I pointed it at him." Most quote of 2024

i rarely comment on youtube, but i have seen someone use “death” as a name, and when they played using that name, they had an easter egg when they lost all their lives. i won’t spoil it, but i think having the “easter egg names” are only triggered by death sequences or etc in the game as long as you’re using the name when you start. it doesn’t just automatically give you an easter egg, at least i don’t think it does

This video brought me back to simpler times... about 8 years ago I discovered Mark (I was 9 ~2016) The editing, the smiles and just a lot of this video reminded me of that. Thank you so much, Mark, for helping my parents to raise me. This was like visiting an uncle I haven't seen in a while, thank you so much. ❤

The reason is mark is so good is he's able to do critical thinking and math skills as well as just have insane luck, all 3 very important for this type of game

the dealer's AI works like this: 1. The dealer will always use any and all the items he can at any turn, he uses them in the order he gets them (which we can't see) 2. If he uses a magnifying glass, sees it's a blank, then uses a beer and racks the shotgun, he STILL thinks it's a blank and will shoot himself anyway (same with if it's a live, he'll shoot the player no matter what) 3. The dealer's AI DOES NOT KNOW STATISTICS! Every time it's his turn he flips a coin and shoots either himself or the player, he only knows what the very last shell is

The demon got demolished last time it looked at Mark like: “Oh god he’s back please no”

9:19 Dealer had enough of the bullshit💀

He is gonna have a hell of a time with the steam version, with new items on double or nothing and most likely gonna have multiplayer soon.

18:36 *"I like these odds."* -Famous last Words, Markiplier 2024

7:30 , there is a youtube video that goes into the deals AI more in-depth but the tl;dr is that it spams items (except knife which it only uses when it is going to try to shoot you) and chooses who to shoot with a 50/50 coin toss. The only times it doesn't shoot 50/50 is when it knows what the next bullet is, it only knows the next bullet when using the magnifying glass and when it's on the final bullet. There is also a funny bug he can do where he sees a blank with the magnifying glass and then drinks beer he will still think that the blank is the next bullet.

Mark at 14:48 be like: “Okay, so there’s 2 blanks.” *Checks next shell* “Okay, so that’s a blank.” *Shoots self* “Okay, so that’s all the blanks.” *Shoots blank at Dealer* “What, where’d that blank come from?”

watching your videos is the only thing getting me through my bout of COVID-19. Thanks for all your work FNAF king.

14:04 Starts out with 3/3, 3 live and 3 blanks First shot is blank, 3/2 Dealer racks out a live, 2/2 Dealer shoots himself, 1/2 Mark looks in and sees a blank, 1/1 Where Mark messed up is he thought the Dealer racked out a blank when it was actually a live

5:27 "TRY ME!" Famous last words 7:28 "i don't know what the wizdom of his maneuvers are because it doesn't seem like they're very wizdomated" Hmmm, very sentance

Gotta love how 4:58 is the video preview when you hover over it. Also gonna need a loop-dedicated video on this.

5:14 he becomes mario for 1 second

Markiplier and Matpat posting minutes apart makes me soooo happy

Mark before every turn: "I'm actually going to count this time." Proceeds to not count

Why is Mark so good at this, I swear he never lost

Damn this was so good! I love seeing Mark work things out like executing a move in chess. So much fun to watch and weigh the odds with him.

3:15 was so comedic and funny lol. It's the like dealer was so confident the shot wouldn't go off but then it blasted

22:12 The "tricky bit" is apparently counting that you've racked all the blanks and only have live rounds left. Inability to count is only rivaled by the AI being even worse than Mark, wild how often it shot itself when only live rounds remained

I like that the dealer can make wrong calls, even on hard. It's better when the AI doesn't always make the right calls.

15:25 the one he racked was a live

games like this are so satisfying to me i love the strategies sm

the shot at 22:03 was literally guaranteed to be live.. the dealer really is dumb

Its the fact that Mark wins without playing the best possible stategy given to him thats so funny about this.

9:49 got me rolling😂😂😂

“Why do you get a knife and I get a beer” 😂

I really love seeing you playing strategy games like this and inscryption

22:57 mark has his own language all the way to 23 10

Mark is genuinely the most skilled person I've seen play this game, there were a few times where I thought he misplayed only to see he was thinking more moves ahead. He plays this game like chess.
