Russian roulette is a game of chance in which players place a bet on whether the next round of bullets will be fired from the gun belonging to one of the players, or from the gun belonging to the dealer. The game is typically played with six rounds, with each round consisting of three bullets.
There is no guarantee that any given round will contain a bullet from the player’s gun or from the dealer’s gun. The only way to know for certain which round will contain a bullet is to stop playing and count the number of bullets left in the gun.
There is no known way to statistically determine whether or not someone has a chance of winning Russian roulette. One study found that out of 1,000 people who played Russian roulette, only about six would win (in other words, only about 0.6% of people who play Russian roulette would win). Another study found that out of 1,000 people who played Russian roulette, about 25 would win (in other words, about 2.
5% of people who play Russian roulette would win). These studies did not take into account any factors that might influence someone’s chance of winning Russian roulette, such as whether or not they were betting on the number of bullets in the gun or on which player’s bullet would be next.
