Russian roulette is a game of chance in which a player takes turns spinning a cylinder containing six bullets. If the bullet falls into a certain chamber, the player can pull the trigger and risk one of their bullets being randomly fired. If the bullet is fired, it is then placed in the cylinder and the player rotates the cylinder.
The game is usually played with five rounds, with each round consisting of three shots. There is no way to know which round will be the sixth, so the player must play each round as if it were their last.
There has never been an official study on the survival rate of Russian roulette, but experts believe that it is very low. In fact, one study found that out of 1,000 people who played Russian roulette, only two survived without getting shot.
This indicates that playing Russian roulette is essentially a death sentence.
