Gameplay[]
The game roughly follows the events of the main series. Two Kakegurui gambling games have been implemented so far: Vote Rock-Paper-Scissors and Indian Poker. As a player, your goal is to win as many matches as possible against other players, determining your place in the weekly ranking.
To play against someone, you need to make a party composed of "partner" cards and "skill" cards, select the game you want to play and choose the number of chips you want to bet.

Partners[]
Partner cards are cards featuring a character from the series. They have various stats that will determine their usefulness in a match: luck, financial power, calculation, dexterity, challenge, and insight. These parameters will increase your chances to use a skill (and thus cheat) during a match.
Partner cards can be obtained by clearing the main story, rolling the Chip gacha, Kakegurui points gacha, or the Premium (gold) gacha. They have various rarities: 1-star (normal), 2-star (rare), 3-star (super rare), and 4-star (SSR). Excluding some special cards, 4-star characters can only be obtained in the Gold gacha. Their maximum level is 20.

Skills[]
Skill cards are used to "cheat" in a match. Each skill has a different effect and is associated with a parameter (insight, dexterity, etc.).
Chips[]
Chips are used to play matches, level up characters and skills, and to roll the Chip gacha. They can be obtained in various ways (e.g., login bonus) but their primary purpose is to be bet in matches against other players. Not only you can select the number of chips you want to bet before being matched with an opponent, but you are also free to decide by yourself how many chips you want to bet in the actual game. Only chips won through gambling matches will be counted to determine your weekly rank.
You can also use Chip to roll the Chip gacha (200 for one roll, 2000 for 10 rolls). 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star cards (partners and skills) are included in the pool, while 4-star partners are not obtainable.
Kakegurui points[]
Kakegurui points were not present at first and they have been implemented in a later update. You earn Kakegurui points by selling partner or skill cards you don't want to keep, the amount of points depends on the rarity of the card. You can then use Kakegurui points to roll a special gacha (30 for one roll, 270 for 10 rolls). This banner contains different cards from the normal Chip gacha, including 3-star partners only obtainable in the Gold gacha and unique skill cards.
Event campaign
Events[]
During some weeks, special events were held. Unlike other gacha games, the reward was not an exclusive card; instead, players who ranked high could win various prizes in real life. Most prizes depended on a player's final rank, while other winners were randomly selected between certain tiers. Players won exclusive posters, official Kakegurui decks featuring illustrations from the game, and autographs of various voice actors from the cast.
