Russian roulette is a casino game where players place bets on whether the next number shown on the roulette wheel will be odd or even. Roulette is a classic casino game that has been around for centuries, and Russian roulette is one of the most popular variants.
How Russian roulette works is that there are 36 numbers on a roulette wheel, numbered 0 to 35. The player places a bet on either of the two numbers at the far ends of the wheel, 0 and 36. The dealer then spins the wheel and tells the player what number it has landed on.
If the player’s bet was on number 36, then their bet is successful and they win their original stake. If the player’s bet was on number 0, then their bet fails and they lose their original stake.
Russian roulette is a risky game, because even if you’re correct in your bet and the wheel lands on number 36, you could still lose your original stake if another player wins with number 0. That’s why Russian roulette is usually only played as a side bet in games like blackjack or craps.
