Game where ultimate risk taken by spinner? (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

russian roulette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'game where ultimate risk' is the first definition.
'Russian roulette' can be an answer for 'game' (I know this). I also know that 'ultimate risk' relates to this answer.

'spinner?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
I also know that 'spinner' relates to this answer.

'taken by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for russian roulette that I've seen before include "deadly stunt" , "chancy business" , "suicidal undertaking" , "Deadly gamble" , "highrisk game" .)
