Do we have people from Russia here who have experienced or witnessed where the game "Russian roulette" has been played?

I was just reading about some kind of game, and I happened to come across it. I have watched a movie where such a game is being played, but I never believed such a game could be legal.

Quote from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_roulette#:~:text=Russian%20roulette%20(Russian%3A%20Pyccкaя%20pyлeткa,)%2C%20and%20pulls%20the%20trigger.

Russian roulette (Russian: Pyccкaя pyлeткa, romanized: Russkaya ruletka) is a potentially lethal game of chance in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins the cylinder, places the muzzle against the head or body (of the opponent or themselves), and pulls the trigger. If the loaded chamber aligns with the barrel, the weapon will fire, killing or severely injuring the player.

A game that's played at the expense of one's life, if you are unlucky that very day, will all end in the loser losing his life or being shot in any part of the body that the pistol is placed on, and the winner will walk home with the winning award.

Does this kind of game still exist? That's if it was ever played the way I read about it online.

And how can people take risk of playing such game ?

What a good way for people to finally commit suicide, especially those who are tired of living and desperately wants to end it all, they can easily engage themselves in this type of game, if they lose and get shot in a dangerous part of their body, then their mission to kill themself is achieved, but if they are shot in a part of their body that gives them a chance to live again, then they can assume their God doesn't want them dead just yet, lol 😂 - just kidding though..

On a more serious note now, this is actually something very serious, I've never heard or read about such type of game before, and common sense should tell us that there is no way such a game will be legal, this type of gambling will be mostly played by drug dealers and addicts, criminals and other crime commiters, just simply a game for the recked souls, cus I believe no body in their right sense will want to play such game in the name of gambling.

But not sure if this is really done in gambling because I don't believed it is, specially that lives are on the line. Maybe we can see it more in Hollywood movies very often as obviously they try to gloried it.

I don't think it was ever formally used in gambling those ones that might have been seen participating in Russian roulette were doing it informally. The whole act is just too dangerous for one to think that it will actually be accepted, if it wasn't lethal I'm sure we would have been able to participate but the fact that one's life is at risk during the whole process of the game makes it difficult to accept.

So the whole idea that it was actually not a real game played anywhere was all fiction? I really thought as much, because I don't even know how someone will come up with such a game idea unless it's a matter of the person already committing a crime that warrants death punishment, and to give the person a chance of survival, that's where the person can be forced to play such a game because it's completely a suicide decision that anyone in their right state of mind can't make.

I found Russian Roulette to be true but illegal in most part of the region where it exists like in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia.

Bruh, nobody is actually playing Russian Roulette other than movies!
The only ones that actually play it with live ammunition are either drunk or drugged to the max or forced to play that thing, nobody would be playing at 16% odds to die!

Quote from: _act_ on July 05, 2024, 04:29:05 PM

According to what I found out, where it is not illegal, not that it is legalized but what if the person is charged with alleged killing of someone. So I will say no country legalize Russian Roulette oulette.

Name one country where this shit would not be not illegal!

Does anybody know where his name comes from? as it is called Russian roulette and the OP asks whether any Russian has seen it being played, but chances are that it doesn't come from this country. Anyone knows whether it was really invented/popularised there? I think that this stupid game would've been more common between cowboys with their guns. Like the "Spanish flu", which had nothing to do with Spain, but was known by this name all around the world.

Russian novels, there was no actual proof of it being used anywhere in the world before that, and the first case incident was named so after the publishing of those fictional stories.

Its a game of life and death I don't think gambler will participate on this kind of game even if the price money is high, this cannot be legal in a country where suicide is considered illegal this game can only exist in underground gambling.

I first encounter the Russian roulette in a movie and this is the kind game that I will not play I will be dead by heart attack just thinking that I will have a bullet in my head if I missed it.

On the other hand, I agree that in most countries in the world it is forbidden (I wouldn't dare to affirm that it happens in all countries because I don't know every law in every jurisdiction), but where it is played, if the motivation is earning money, I think that we could say that it is a real (illegal) gambling game, where you do not put at stake your own money, but your life. And I don't think that to be considered gambling you have to put at stake your money, but something valuable in general (your car keys, your house, your cows, your wife/husband).

I don't really know, I guess that categorisation has more to do with what each of us understand by "gambling" rather than in a broad consensus of what the requisites are to be called by this name.

It has Etymology here,

Quote

The term Russian roulette was possibly first used in a 1937 short story of the same name by Georges Surdez, published in the January 30, 1937, edition of Collier's magazine:

'Did you ever hear of Russian Roulette?' When I said I had not, he told me all about it. When he was with the Russian army in Rumania [sic], around 1917, and things were cracking up, so that their officers felt that they were not only losing prestige, money, family, and country, but were being also dishonored before their colleagues of the Allied armies, some officer would suddenly pull out his revolver, anywhere, at the table, in a café, at a gathering of friends, remove a cartridge from the cylinder, spin the cylinder, snap it back in place, put it to his head and pull the trigger. There were five chances to one that the hammer would set off a live cartridge and blow his brains all over the place.[3]

But not sure if this is really done in gambling because I don't believed it is, specially that lives are on the line. Maybe we can see it more in Hollywood movies very often as obviously they try to gloried it.

Actually, I have only seen this type of game in movies and it has never crossed my mind to even search or look more about it to see if it's actually something that's being practiced in real life - I am shocked by the fact that it is in some region.

Not sure what must have been going through their mind or what type of problem they are in that would make anyone stand in front of a gun or allow someone to point a gun that has the probability of 1/6 of killing you. Truly, some people are built differently because I can't even imagine myself in such a situation.

Who would play this kind of game where you put your life as a bet? If I'm wrong and it does exist, it's never legal, as no government would allow killing to be considered gambling. I don't even understand why this topic was brought up. It's not related to gambling, as the definition of gambling is entertainment. Therefore, it should be fun, not scary, where one's life could end if they lose their bet.

There was a news I heard last time in my country, it was about a teenager who playing this game with his cousin and he was unlucky to get shot and killed. Maybe there are also happenings like this in other countries, so it does truly exist in real life. The ones who play this game are people who are insane and maybe they are under the influence of drugs and alcoholic drinks that time.

They are only lucky if the gun didn't fire but that is a close call and they shouldn't attempt it again because they may not be lucky next time. Yeah it is illegal due to its gameplay but people can do it easily inside of their homes where no other people can see them.

Man, this was an old thing. One of the first mentions of Russian Roulette is in Lermontov's novel (19th century). In the past, if you had a grudge on someone and wanted to kill them, you could ask them to play Russian Roulette which they couldn't refuse because that would be a huge shame. Then there would be the game, some people to ensure that the game would be fair and then someone would die, someone would live. I don't know how long it was legal, definitely it was legal for a very long time but it's illegal today. It's the 21st century, such a thing can't be legal because that's killing.
Btw such a game still exists, there are people who might play it but that will be played quietly, between the two or a small group of people.

It is not a real gambling game, it's incredibly dangerous and can be deadly.

It probably isn't today, but it was at some point in the past, although I don't think it was played in the majority, for obvious reasons. Only desperate or crazy people would play such a game. I guess the films and novels have given it more fame than it really had.

Russian Roulette isn't a casino game for sure. To be considered gambling it must meet two criteria: (1) a game of chance, meaning involving mainly luck and it's a game, and (2) betting money or its equivalent. Maybe in a mafia world or the "murim" world, it still exists... But those who play it aren't gamblers Grin

It is not a real gambling game, it's incredibly dangerous and can be deadly. There are stories about it, and it's been depicted in movies, but it's not something people typically gamble on.

Think about it - casinos wouldn't allow it, and the risk of serious injury or death is way too high.

As for people playing it, it's hard to say for sure. There might be isolated incidents, but it's not a common thing. The risk just doesn't make sense.

I just see it in movies but never heard someone playing this game in real life.

But there are discussions tackled up this topic on quora maybe you find it interesting to read some of people's opinion about it https://www.quora.com/Has-Russian-roulette-been-known-to-ever-be-played-for-real

And in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/wxl7a/ama_request_anyone_who_has_really_played_russian/

Don't know if there would be real people likes to play such type of game since its kinda risky and for sure lots of people will avoid this if they really value their life.

Do not die for Putin

Last time I heard that "game" being played it was during the war of the former Yugoslavia. Serb commanders were complaining that the soldiers drank and they played Russian Roulette, with the obvious consequence of loosing servicemen. It can be played for many reasons, like some short of a duel, but yes, it is a betting game too. Basically the public bets on who will win and the "players" bet their lives.

Of course, it is mostly illegal and you will need to look hard to find a "game".

A game where you risk your life can't be considered gambling or even a game. Is more like a suicide atempt, and isn't legal in any country.

I also can not call it a game, but some people can call it a game because two people are betting in a way someone would be severely injured or killed while the other would win and take the reward. It is still a bet.

Quote from: Nwada001 on July 05, 2024, 03:00:18 PM

That game is very dangerous; in fact, such a game is not even supposed to be made legal in any part of the world, not just some part, because it's completely violent and could be considered one of the most deadly games for someone.

Ultimate gambling, when you are ready to stake your life... how can people come to the state of mind to do it? Depression, craziness... I think there are a bunch of different reasons, there is no universal answer.

Let's keep it normal... nobody sane would do it. Yes, I'm sure some people are able & willing to bet on a lot of bizarre things, but the majority are not.

The Russian roulette that I have played before was on a gambling site and it is just the normal roulette game which is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulette.

I also saw it in that same movie; another old American movie in which such a game was also played is The Knight Club."

That game is very dangerous; in fact, such a game is not even supposed to be made legal in any part of the world, not just some part, because it's completely violent and could be considered one of the most deadly games for someone.

Imagine playing it in an open society, and if such a game is made legal, how many lifeless people will they be taking out of the game hall on a daily basis?

Is Hard to see this game in real Life, I think nowadays it only happen in the movies. People must be mad or insane to play something like this.
