Russian roulette is a life-endangering game which is not recommed nor adviced to be done by anyone. This article is provided to here by entertaiment.

In russian roulette a gun (revolver) is loaded with a single bullet. After this, barrel of the revolver, where bullets are located, is being spinned one or two times around. As the spin time of the barrel cannot be determited, location of the single bullet (as revolver's barrel can hold up to 6 bullet) is unknown.

Revolver is then placed on the forehead of the each player one by one, and triggered once in the position of the each player. Losing party of the game is one in who's place bullet is triggered and ignites, usually casulting instant death by head injury.

As can be understood from above, the goal of the game is stay alive. Game ends directly after shot is made.

Explained

In revolver, bullet-comparments in the barrel are in the round shape around barrel's round ring. Revolver is used by pressing the trigger which causes the reel to spin and revolver's hammer (which ignites the bullet and engages the shooting event) to hit to the bullet comparment.

If bullet is located in the bullet comparment which rolls forward of the hammer, shooting event takes places. As there is only one bullet in barrel, and seven empty comparments, with every trigger - press there is a 1 to 6 chance (16.6% chance) that hammer hits the bullet. As the amount of the trigger presses increase, the chances or igniting bullet increase exponentially.

Example

Note: Event described below is fully fictional and should never been tested or used by anyone, not even those with deathwish.

There are four players in russian roulette. A bullet is loaded to a gun's barrel and barell is spinned for two times. The location of the single bullet is now unknown.

Player one takes a revolver, places on his forehead and triggers. Chance of gun firing is now 16.5% to this player.

If gun does not go off, Player two takes a revolver, places on his forehead and triggers. Chance of gun firing is now 33.3% as one bullet comparent has been used.

If gun not even now goes off, revolver is given to third player who repeats the task. Chance of firing gun is 49.8%.

Fourth player repeats task, and is given 66.4% chance of firing gun. As there is only four players in game, gun is given to the first player, who repeats round (without spinning barrel again). The chance of the first player to stay alive is only 17% as the chance of gun firing is 83%.

Gun can go off in any moment of the game as it is triggered in the position of the each player. In worst case, gun is fired immediately and in most rare is, only in the position of the sixth triggering (as it is the last chance, since barrel has gone full turn).

Notice

In gambling game, toy guns are often used to simulate the event.
