 Russian Roulette is an extremely dangerous gambling where the highest price  is  your life. I have found online simulator of this game and has been shot to death at the first attempt (BtW, having 16,66% chance outcome). The sixth attempt always ends in firing (100% death). I would never gamble with the real  gun.

It can't be real. It sounds like a movie scene where the villain tries to play this game of death with the main character where they put a single bullet in a revolver, take rounds by spinning the cylinder and shooting the other in the head, and at the end, the lead character manages to kill the villain and the movie ends. I can't think of any person in the world willingly playing a game like this even if the bet on stake is in millions because it's not worth it.

Imagine a person playing such a game and them dying out of the fear of getting shot when the gun is on their head even if the bullet isn't in the chamber, lol. Such things can happen, so I don't think it can be a legal gambling game anywhere in the world no matter how bad the laws of a country are.

Do you think carrying weapons can be legal in normal civilized countries?



Welcome to Wyoming, a place where every fourth person own a gun Cheesy

Nevertheless, I would say Russian roulette is a gambling game, as it has most components of gambling, a bet (life), chance and luck. I doubt that anyone really plays it, as the risk is to high. I dont think that anyone would pull trigger for any money offered. Instead they would point the gun on opponent and take money Cheesy However, I do believe that some crazy dudes play this game for real, and we simply dont get any proof of that. Because if someone dies in this game, then his opponent should be a accomplice to murder. Nobody wants such truth to come out Cheesy

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

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.
How can this be legal when there are firearms in the game and someone's life is at stake?

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.
In a sense, Russian roulette can be called gambling, because there is an element of chance (whether a shot will be fired or not) and reward (life), but I would not classify it as entertainment and traditional gambling with bets and prize money.

Does this kind of game still exist? That's if it was ever played the way I read about it online.
Even if such a game exists in reality, then we will not be able to find out about it, because some players will not talk about it because of the criminality of this game, and other participants will not be physically able to do this. Smiley

And how can people take risk of playing such game ?
If people are left with no choice, then they are forced to play this deadly game. I want to say that Russian roulette players don't play of their own free will, but under psychological pressure.

Russian roulette is not a game of chance at all. This is a kind of duel. It is carried out between two enemies or ill-wishers, but at the same time the relations of these people are subject to a certain code of honor. Presumably, it originated among Russian officers in the 19th or 20th century. In this case, of course, it is not assumed that anyone will win money. As a rule, one of the two players dies. Purely theoretically, this game can be played by more than two people. This game is the fruit of the sick imagination of crazy people.
In those days, honor meant almost everything, so some equated it in this way with a person’s life itself, which of course is not correct. But at that time they had such views; now it seems to us complete savagery and inadequacy. Sometimes even when I see this in films, mostly about some bandits, I feel uneasy about how much life depends on luck at a particular moment, it is especially scary when one of the players pulls the trigger. I would not even recommend watching films in which everything is not real for impressionable people or those with an unstable psyche.

Do you think carrying weapons can be legal in normal civilized countries? It can be taken by people who have permission and those who will not use weapons for such games. Therefore, as a Russian-speaking citizen, I can confidently say that no, such “fun” is not allowed. However, some people like to play with life, walk on the “blade” without understanding the value of life, and play such a game. And these are not necessarily Russians, despite the name of the game.

That's a good game, I really interested to play watch it. Cheesy

Stupid people are available everywhere so you will find stupid people to undertake such activities. You will find some reports from old archives where people have actually lost their lives in the past due to such stupid Russia Roulette game. But thankfully, it's not widespread.
They're not stupid, instead they're hopeless people. People who take a part of this game are poor people who want to change their life, even if they didn't get the prize, it would end their miserable life. So, they might think it's a win-win solution for them, either of the choice make them happy.

Maybe there are other variations where they are not using guns and the games are not as life threatening as this one. Simple games but with the concept of having that chance of having none or all.
You make me remember with this game, it's a turn based game where two or more people need to press the crocodile teeth, if you press the wrong tooth, it will bite you.

I wouldn't be too surprised if this Russian roulette was actually played at one time but I guess that it must've been an illegal game. Humans have been known to involve in dangerous games and adventures that involves risks and lose of lives. I've seen videos where people play games that normal people will consider stupid, taking chances and risking their lives for thrills and gambling sake or just to entertain others. Who knows all sorts of other dangerous games and gambling that people engage in illegally, I'm glad that no government and gambling companies will allow suicide games..

we can say that russian roulette is a very extreme gambling because you gamble your life there where when the cylinder is rotated you hope that one bullet inside will not penetrate your head. and practices like this still often occur, especially this is often used by the mafia to scare their opponents. but if a person willingly to participates in such a game, perhaps he is a pretty stupid person and is ready to die.

Don’t worry. I don’t think people still do this for fun. You will encounter this in movies mostly action ones. But in real life it is not so common, I think, especially if done for fun.

It's usually played by mafia people or something similar to them nowadays though right? It probably still exists, there's some sick people (in the head) out there who would ask people to do this sometimes just because lol. Outside of that well I've only ever seen it in a few games as well as films. It's kind of understandable-ish like at your first try (in a game ok? Not irl) why it makes you feel the thrill but yeah, wouldn't accept any amount to do this thing.

People risk their lives in dumb ways, pretty sure this is just one of the most straightforward ones.

I heard the mafia guys played it when they were drunk or they made people who did something wrong like owed money to play it as a warning.
There's a movie from 2011 called 13 where a guy has to play Russian Roulette to win money along with other participants and there can be only one winner left in the end. Watch it if you like these things.
To answer the question in the thread, I've never seen this in real life and I live in Europe, traveled a lot, been to some of the countries where you could expect to see or hear these things, like Slovakia, Poland, or Hungary, but nope, nobody does it, people are civilized there. Maybe if you borrow money from the mafia, they'll make you play Tongue

It's gambling alright but the cost is the ultimate cost. Your life.

So called "Russian roulette" is more of a Cinema scene rather than a reality. There's close to zero situations where it would make any sense to play "Russian roulette" as if human life was a game. And to a large extent it's a cruel joke on Russians to dehumanize then on the west. I'd say don't pay too much attention on a cold war joke. It's still being used to make Russian people seem cruel and inhumane when in reality they are just like us, facing similar or exactly the same struggles in their daily lives.

I hope it's not in practice anymore cause it's crazy not really worth the risk.

I remember the term from money heist series on which Tokyo plays on Berlin. Cheesy

To answer your question it's not really considered as Game, it's considered as Suicide or murder in legal terms so don't challenge the system cause there are many incidents people went to prison for attempting such things.

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.

Of course it does,in mafia films or in some remote part of the world where people are still stupid enough to accept such type of game  Grin.In real life this only exist in theory and people know that the Russian roulette is that the gun gets loaded with one bullet and if you happen to hit the trigger in that position you will hit someone hard,sometimes leading to loss of life.I don't know yet of any people who will accept to play such game unless someone is full in debts and was thinking of taking his own life as he does not see any relief or any solution to his problem,that is the only type of the person who can accept such game as the only try to get rid of the debts.This is some game which should in no way be promoted as some people may get intrigued to it leading to huge bad consequences for them.

Our introduction to the game Russian Roulette is through movies and articles, because no casinos online or offline will adopt this game.

It is a suicidal game, and it is illegal. No government will agree to this kind of game; this only happens in war where the prisoners are forced to take this game, based on what I see in movies.

Of course, no one plays it, it’s more like a movie cliche and it’s like the term for a 1 on 1 duel. Bandits of warring factions played such a game in the mid-90s and that’s where it all fell off.Over all this time, this game has acquired legends and speculation, but in fact it will be very difficult to find real evidence of this game.

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?
This reminds me of gladiators fighting in old Rome and Spartan where people sit in an open arena to bet and watch how two or more gladiators fight in a duel till death. However, the Russian roulette as it is called is kinda different from that of the gladiators, been that, the gamblers decides to take part in this type of gambling out of their own consent or in dare circumstances.  It is only in the movies I have watched these games but never in real life. And the reason is that no government that value the lives of her citizens will give any form of legality to such insane game.  It is suicidal and should be discouraged even from movies scenes.

Did you really ignore the wider context of the game as illustrated in all of the films you watch? It is usually played in a similar vein to picking the short straw, in scenarios where you need a random way to get rid of someone which is completed by spinning the barrel. It's either done to show how crazy a person is, that they are willing to throw away their own lives based on random luck by doing it to themselves, or in order to make a hard decision easier by leaving it up to random fate. Nobody is playing this game seriously, because the outcome for the players means that they will all lose their lives eventually and there are no sane people who would partake in it often due to the strong urge towards self preservation.

I don't think that is exist on any casino because people can die if they lose. But that's also gambling games but with life for the bet. I guess that game still exist but not with a gun in their head or body because that can risks of die. That will only in a film, especially for an action movie that makes a bet with their opponent and will kill them with one shot. Many people playing Russian Roulette on casino but they uses a different material and not risks their life.

Maybe in the past, that thing is for a duel between two man and trying to beats each other. They uses life to bet which will not allows in this era. Maybe you can finds that in the underground life which many bad people doing many things to gain recognition from his opponents.

I've heard news about people(including kids) dying playing it. I don't see people "playing" this "game" without being very intoxicated, being pressured or being forced to play it. no one in their right mind would risk their life to play such a life-threatening game.
Kids? Really surprised on this. I'm not sure as well on how betting really happens on this game; is it only between the one who shoots and one who would be on the roulette or audiences gets the chance to bet as well? Eitherway, seeing how things would happen will bother you if you are not into such thing involving deaths and injuries.
sadly yes, kids have fallen victim to this "game", if you search "Russian roulette deaths" you'll find articles about kids dying because of trying this "game", kids are easily influenced so I am not surprised that there are kids who tried playing it and end up dying

I'm not sure as well on how betting really happens on this game; is it only between the one who shoots and one who would be on the roulette or audiences gets the chance to bet as well?
I don't really know, and to be honest I could care less how the betting on this game works.

Playing with death and risking life this indeed can be called gambling but instead of using money people have to bets their life to playing this game which is not worth with the risk and i have read some articles that this game is not initially from Rusia but there was a magazine named this game Russian roulette and previously i have been seen this game was played by some people but in the movies when usually those people were lucky and can finished the game without losing their life but because this is the movies then the scenario is set by the director but for real life there is a story decades ago that there was a magician who playing this game but in the end he had to lose his life and indeed i am sure this game was illegal for all of the countries in the world but i am sure there are still those interested in playing this game but probably secretly

This practice has never been legal in modern times and it was first mentioned in a fiction book written in 1840. The title was "The Fatalist" and nobody knows if the story was true or false. The story claimed that such a game happened in a Russian village.
If you want to quote me and correct me, it is better you read other posts that I have and what we have discussed. This is what I have discussed before and I corrected two of you now that what is not illegal does not mean that it is legal. I did not post that Russian roulette is or was legal. Do not just jump into conclusion if you have not read my other posts on the same thread but only read just my first post on the thread. Read my other posts.

These are my other posts on this same thread:


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.
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!
I gave a good reply about it on a thread before you posted this.

Because it is illegal, that does not mean that it is legal either.

Even in movies, this kind of bet is very different and not what is done frequent but done when someone may not just have a choice to go without doing it. I believe in the olden time, this kind of thing can happen in real life in some situations.

The origin of this lethal game is unknown but some historians wrote that ot can traced to Russian prisons where prison guards forced inmates to play this game while they bet on the outcome. So this game was not legal at any time but was done secretly. The word "Russian Roulette" is mainly used as an idiom which means to take high risk. Maybe it might still be played among gangs or secret societies where captured rivals can be forced to play the game in exchange for mercy or freedom.

Because it is illegal, that does not mean that it is legal either.

Horrible things do happen in life. Unimaginable things have been happening. So I won't be surprised if there is indeed a real-life Russian roulette played.

Of course, this game doesn't involve perfectly sane people. They certainly involve deranged people or those who are under the influence of illegal drugs or, unfortunately, people who are undergoing severe depression or whatever psychological condition. People who play this game are probably wasted or suicidal that they don't anymore care betting their lives on worthless games.

Hahaha...Of course, this game can't exit again unless it's a kind of military cruelty game during a time of war or disorder, the world has moved passed that situation ordinarily. I think I have to research more about this Russian roulette game of a thing but let me assume in this current dispensation, nothing like that can be happening.

Movies and some weird sayings in the past could have also implanted some ugly ideas in the heads of some people to have warranted the belief that a thing like that exists. If it ever existed, I am sure that the world would have spoken against the practice as inhumane and they would have stopped. In the olden days, a lot of worse things happened, so it may not even be peculiar to Russia at that time but to many places of the world. Regardless, I am glad that such a lethal means of winning a game is not in this modern world.

Of course, no one plays this game in real life - neither in Russia nor anywhere else. More precisely, this is possible in some exceptional cases in war or in a situation where you somehow lose your life. Perhaps this happened at the beginning of the 20th century in Eastern Europe. But now you won’t even find revolvers, much less anyone willing to play this idiotic game. Although I admit that this game may be attractive to the mentally ill or suicidal who want to have a little fun before dying. But again, where can I get a revolver for this?)

In my opinion this is just like a oral story that has been passed down from one person to another until it became a legend and then some authors capitalizing on the whole popularity of the word "Russian Roulette". Obviously, it could have originated from Russia, nevertheless we don't have solid proof that this game existed or someone used to play this kind of dangerous game to proved nothing.

So right now and in real life? Nah, this is not going to happen, if you wanted to kill someone then shoot him in the face, simply as that. And just imagine, if you want someone to get killed, are you going to play it win? And if by chance, you want to play it yourself, it's very dangerous so I doubt that someone in their right frame of mind will do this kind of games.

A typical roulette game but with a different wager if you'd be taking part of the actual game because life is literally on the line. It is of course a form of gambling but bet is just unusual. Instead of money, it will either be your life or opponent's life as the consequence of losing. Unlike with typical roulette wherein you would either lose or win money from trying. Indeed this is on a different level of risk and I doubt such thing still exists at the present. I won't be betting my life as the determinant of losing or winning. Always stick with the walls of your risk appetite. Again, know your goal on this before your actual engagement.
And how can people take risk of playing such game ?
I've heard news about people(including kids) dying playing it. I don't see people "playing" this "game" without being very intoxicated, being pressured or being forced to play it. no one in their right mind would risk their life to play such a life-threatening game.
Kids? Really surprised on this. I'm not sure as well on how betting really happens on this game; is it only between the one who shoots and one who would be on the roulette or audiences gets the chance to bet as well? Eitherway, seeing how things would happen will bother you if you are not into such thing involving deaths and injuries.

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.

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 ?
  This is more of a myth amongst men that are piss drunk and less of a real game that people played in Russia, I mean if I'm not mistaken the term Russian Roulette itself is a misnomer cause Americans just wanted to attribute something hard and brutal with the Russians following their dispositions after the World War, but I could be wrong.

However, as you would've guessed, nobody plays this game anymore not even at the expense of something magnanimous like a million dollars on the line. Plus gun laws are becoming stricter and stricter by the day so it's not like you can just grab a pistol and play with it amongst friends for a buck and a half.

I believe it does still exist though, but not as a "game" you play, but rather more of a something that you make other people do to scare them shitless or something along  those lines. Money that's involved comes before or after and not during the fact, and lives are at stake.

So yeah this isn't a "gambling" game.

I gave a good reply about it on a thread before you posted this.


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.
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.

Because it is illegal, that does not mean that it is legal either.

Even in movies, this kind of bet is very different and not what is done frequent but done when someone may not just have a choice to go without doing it. I believe in the olden time, this kind of thing can happen in real life in some situations.

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.

You must be suicidal to accept this kind of game. I don't know if people bet on this or if this exists in the underground. No game should be allowed that will take one's life; the government will not allow this and might charge and convict of homicide or murder those who perpetuate this kind of game.

I remember a movie in which all the convicts participated in this game. The winner will get freed, and the loser will die with a bullet in his hand, but its a movie and anything is possible in a movie.
There are a lot of crazy games people can think of, but it should not be Russian Roulette.

The game of Russian Roulette falls into the category of being highly risky and illegal. It should be noted that governments do not authorize actions that would risk one's life, so people who engage in such games can be accused of murder. Such scenarios might only be found in movies, like the one you referenced with inmates taking part in a fatal challenge for liberty, but they are merely fictional tales. In actuality, this type of game has no place in our reality.

In addition to legal issues, moral and ethical aspects should also be considered. Participation or endorsement of life-threatening games depicts an insensitivity towards human life. Not only are such games physically perilous; they can also evoke severe psychological harm for both participants and onlookers. Life-threatening games do not only represent a lack of respect for human life in itself but also entail additional negative consequences due to potential injury, disability or even death that can result from them.

I have not heard about such Russian roulette as described in the OP, but I know that some things that are presented in movies must have been something that has happened somewhere in the world or something that is happening somewhere in the world. In most countries, there are usually some ill activities that go on in corrupt neighborhoods, and it could be true that this kind of Russian roulette might be going on in some part of that country. If I happen to come from such a country, I can partake in this kind of gambling. Some people can take this risk, "anything for the money." Funny.

I cannot consider it a game. It's more of a suicide; there are games where you can get yourself hurt if you make a mistake, but in this one, you made one mistake, and you're going to die, yes we can only watch it in movies because it's not legal to make it a game, everyone will be horrified watching the brain blow up in front of you.

I don't know much about this game being played for real. I've seen it mostly in movies. If it's really practiced, it must be done as torture method by mobsters to punish someone or by suicidal individuals. But as a gambling game involving money prizes I think it's highly unlikely, because you risk your life when playing this game, so it's unethical and even criminal. Nobody wants to be associated with this.

On the other hand, if there were huge prizes involved, such as millions of dollars, I don't doubt many desperate people would voluntarily play russian roulette gambling game. It would be similar to that South Korean series: Round 6 (Squid Game), where hundreds of people into full debt went to a game of life or death to earn the jackpot, and achieve a comfortable financial status after so many failures in life.

like in general and what you say only exists in films which will never come true, except for gambling addicts who are crazy or have mental disorders.

No one will want to take a risk like this, even gambling addicts who really always need money, when given an offer to bet their lives in swap for money, they will definitely refuse. Because only fools play gambling like this.

Currently, technological developments are very sophisticated and there are many types of gambling games that really challenge the adrenaline and the mindset of today's gamblers is more modern and they will not do things that harm themselves by taking too big a risk, risking their whole life in one ridiculous 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!

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.

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]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_roulette

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.

This exists in movies but not in real life.

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.

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.

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.


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.
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.

And how can people take risk of playing such game ?

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."

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?

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.

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.

There has been incidences of people losing their lives from playing this game, but we've seen people do more silly and reckless things, so I doesn't come as a surprise.

This is not a legal game anywhere, if it's being bet on it will be through underground illegal betting rigs.

This one that you explained has been what I have seen in movies before but I have not seen it in real life before. The last movie that I watched it is John Wick chapter 4 but which is not a game precisely. I did not know something like that can be in real life.

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.

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.

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 ?
