Russian roulette : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Russian Roulette

The Russian roulette is considered as a “game”, but a deadly one, for its outcome is unpredictable. In the “traditional” version of the game, two or three competitors face each other. Out of six possible bullets, a single one is placed in the cylinder of a gun which is randomly spun. The objective is to make a complete “round”, that is, each competitor has to put the gun on their temple and pull the trigger.

As for mathematics, there are around 16% of chances for one player to be killed. But there are other versions of the game resulting in an increasing possibility to get killed: changing the gun, placing more than one bullet, play more than a round, and so on.

The name “Russian roulette” comes from the fact that some Russian soldiers are thought to have played this game. But, even though it has historically been proven that some of them were suicidal, there is no strict evidence about this game, and it still remains uncertain how and when it was “created”. No historical document proves its existence within the former Soviet army.

Some famous people also died playing this stupid game: singer Johnny Ace, actor Jon-Erik Hexum, and some others died while playing. This “game” was also used in Chile in the 70s to run examinations and put pressure on the suspects.

The Russian roulette is a deadly game, very dangerous, and I surely won't recommend you play it, except virtually: as Seinfeld would say, “there's nothing wrong about that!”.
